“Great teacher and experience”
We had a wonderful experience with Puerto Surf. It was my husband and I's first experience surfing and I don't think we could have asked for a better instructor. He spoke perfect English and was very patient and kind. We took two days of lessons, they even picked us up from our hotel! Great experience!

Puerto Escondido ?'s

Weather should be dry and hot. It will be busy around Easter (Easter Sunday is April 8th in 2012) otherwise relatively quiet. There have been reports of robberies on the beach (usually in isolated sections and after dark) but otherwise nothing to worry about. Aeromar and Vivaaerobus fly into Puerto Escondido from Mexico City but it is usually not that cheap. An alternative is to fly into Huatulco that has more flight options from Mexico City and also an international connection from Houston on Continental. (It's then about an hour by taxi to P.E.)A cheaper alternative is luxury bus from Mexico City (takes around 12 hours).

I can't speak on the weather in April but the area is one of my favourites in Mexico.If you only have 1 week then I would probably spend it in PE and you could do a day trip to San Augustanillo,one of the most beautiful beaches I have seen.When in PE you should do a tour of the lagoon[I forget the name}. If Gina is still in the info booth she can help you but do not take the trip with the Canadian Ornithologist as when I have seen them they go really fast.We did it on 2 occasions with a Mexicain guide in a small boat and it was truly wonderful.
You can fly into PE or to Huatulco but for a 1 week trip I would hit PE.However I don't know where you are coming from.Most domestic flights in Mexico come from Mexico City however you might get a charter flight to Huatulco and then bus up to PE...........maybe more info for us so we can help you.........................................

Laguna Chacahua may be the place tanglefoot is thinking of. Checkhttp://www.tomzap.com for general, if dated, information about this place. I recommend it too. And Gina is very helpful.
