A little about Playa Zipolite, The Beach of the Dead . . .

Playa Zipolite, Oaxaca, Southern Mexico, on the Pacific Ocean. A little bit about my favorite little get-away on this small world of ours.

Zipolite, a sweaty 30-minute walk west from Puerto Angel, brings you to Playa Zipolite and another world. The feeling here is 1970's - Led Zep, Marley, and scruffy gringos.

A long, long time ago, Zipolite beach was usually visited by the Zapotecans...who made it a magical place. They came to visit Zipolite to meditate, or just to rest.

Recently, this beach has begun to receive day-trippers from Puerto Angel and Puerto Escondido, giving it a more TOURISTY feel than before.

Most people come here for the novelty of the nude beach, yoga, turtles, seafood, surf, meditation, vegetarians, discos, party, to get burnt by the sun, or to see how long they can stretch their skinny budget.

I post WWW Oaxaca, Mexico, Zipolite and areas nearby information. Also general budget, backpacker, surfer, off the beaten path, Mexico and beyond, information.

REMEMBER: Everyone is welcome at Zipolite.

How to Manage Your Money Safely on the Road in Latin America MAR 31

How to Manage Your Money Safely on the Road in Latin America

Thanks a lot to Transitions Abroad for publishing another of my articles, How to Manage Your Money Safely on the Road in Latin America.
This is one of my favorite articles I’ve ever written, and I believe that this advice holds for anyone, in any part of the world.
In fact, I’d like to print it out and pass it out to people I meet on the road. You can’t imagine how many times I’ve crossed a border with someone who was clueless about the exchange rate and was ready to just exchange money blindly, or was paying for all restaurant meals with a credit card. But then you go to the market with them and they haggle over a bag of fruit! It drives me nuts.
Thanks a lot for reading my blog. Click here for the article.
