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.

Well ... from Cancun to Palenque I would take the ADO bus. This will be about a 13 to 14 hour trip (one way). As far as Puerto Escondido goes, this is on the West Coast of Mexico and you will need to fly from Cancun to the nearest airport to PE (probably through Mexico City and then down to Acapulcoand then another bus or taxi ride).

Or possibly take buses the entire way.
Moon Yucatan and Moon Oaxaca are a pair of excellent guidebooks that together cover all three of those places. They'll have the details on bus transportation (time, cost, stations, etc.), and lots of info on things to do as well.

I would likely make it an all bus trip. While the guide books are somewhat useful , I would not go by their bus information to travel since information in the books is usually one to two years old and bus information changes rapidly.
You might want to post your question on Lonely Planets Thorn
Tree forums. They tend to get a crowd more likely to know about bus travel in Mexico.

I agree, with plenty of time the entire trip is possible by bus. Time will be the key element and a bit of planning. Which ever way you go have a great trip.
