Playa Zipolite. Welcome To The Beach Of The Dead!: Mothers Caravan Reaches Mexican State of Oaxaca

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.

Mothers Caravan Reaches Mexican State of Oaxaca



Mexico, Nov 10 (Prensa Latina) The Central American mothers caravan, in search of missing children in the country, on Thursday arrived at the shelter Hermanos en el Camino (Brothers on the Road) in the town of Ixtepec, in the state of Oaxaca, where hundreds of migrants pass by in transit to the northern border. On October 30, the group started traveling by the route known as the Gulf of Migrants, including nine states, in order to publicly and peacefully protest ongoing attacks on migrants. Mexico is the main entry point for Central American migrants to reach the United States, a journey known as The Death Road, due to attacks suffered by these groups during their transit. According to champions of the migrants, they are kidnapped, extorted and murdered by organized crime gangs, besides being harassed by authorities in collusion with criminals. According to government analysts, in 2011, the migratory flow is much lower than in other periods, when it reached 400,000 immigrants per year. lch/as/mv/km/ogt
