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.

Hola my Mexico-loving friends!

Welcome back to the monthly Mexico updates!

The World Cup will be kicking off this month across Canada, the US, and Mexico, and Mexico is in full prep mode now. If you are heading to one of the host cities or want to enjoy the game at one of the many fan zones that are being set up, it will no doubt be an electric atmosphere.

Stadium in Guadalajara gearing up for the World Cup!

Mexico Updates from Around the Web

  • Monterrey is gearing up, quite literally, to create as safe a city as they possibly can for their upcoming World Cup games. Watch the news video here.
  • Next week, Mexico City will host game one of the World Cup, but things are not going to plan. Protests and construction are already causing some logistical problems that will hopefully be cleared up by next Thursday. Read more here.
  • If you are going to be in Mexico City for the start of the World Cup next week, you won't want to miss the parade that will make its way down Reforma on June 13th. Read about it here.
  • There have been talks of creating an Ensenada-to-San Diego ferry for many years, but it looks like they may finally start building it later this year. Learn more about it here.
  • Anyone who has had the pleasure of eating churros from El Moro in Mexico City may wish that they could enjoy it back home. Well, if you live in the Bay Area of California, now you can! They are opening their first international branch later this year. Read about it here.
  • Travel in Mexico is bigger than ever before. It welcomed 26 million international visitors between January and March, a 10.2% increase compared with the same period last year. Tourism revenue surpassed $10.28 billion during the quarter. European tourism is up, Chinese tourism is up, and even cruise ship tourism is up. If your vacation felt a little bit busier than before this year, well, it was. Read more about the stats here.
Paseo de la Reforma in Mexico City where plenty of festivities will no doubt take place over the next few weeks!
