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.

 Chicago to Huatulco Flight in July, 2012 
July 2011, flew non-stop both ways- very nice. Planning for return trip- no non-stop flights.
Curious, should I book the layover flights that take 6 times as long, or should I hold off a little, checking occasionally to see if something comes up?

Who can say really? I wait for airfare and travel times I can live with - one stop with maybe a 4 hour layover falls into that category if the price is right. If you keep checking, I imagine you will find something within your own personal comfort zone. July is a long way off, and we usually have more options flying out of Chicago than people from other areas. That said, I think the direct USA 3000 flights will not be coming back.

I personally would wait if you're not going til July. We usually go away in March for spring break, and I have never booked by trip until about a month before. Prices usually have gone down. However, with USA3000 gone and no non-stop flight, Continental's ridiculously high prices, and an 8-hour lay-over inMexico City, Huatulco's not making it easy for us to come back this year. I'm still keeping hope alive but it doesn't look good.
Interestingly, when you go on USA3000's website and click on "where we fly", it appears that there still is a flight to Huatulco. Maybe they just haven't updated their website.

Playmomma, Did you look for a flight out of MKE? We are leaving on 3/22 and have great flight times.

I will have to try that. Who are you flying with and when are you going?
