Top Honeymoon Destinations - Huatulco, Mexico
THURSDAY, DECEMBER 29, 2011
Bahias de Huatulco, shortened to just "Huatulco" (wah-TOOL-co) is on the Pacific coast of Mexico in the state of Oaxaca. An important historical location - it was a vantage point for Hernan Cortes and the Conquistadors - the area is now a pleasantly primitive resort area.
The area, which had previously been simply a coffee growing area, was selected for tourism development by the Mexican government in 1984 (a project similar to the one that "created" Cancun) and centers on nine bays. Three bays have been developed, Tangolunda where the upscale resorts are, around the town of La Crucecita with its Mexican ambience and the marina and Chahue, still embryonic. The quintessential ecotourism resort, Huatulco features underdeveloped stretches of golden sand beaches, isolated coves, spectacular waterfalls (in particular, "Cascadas Magicas de Copalitilla), emerald rainforests, whale watching and the ancient culture of the Zapotec people. Just to the north is tropical jungle where bananas, cashew nuts and coffee are grown.
Air access is still somewhat limited, but there are several terrific "all-inclusive" resorts in Huatulco including Dreams Huatulco Resort & Spa, Secrets Huatulco Resort & Spa (adults only), Barcelo Huatulco Beach Resort and Crown Pacific Huatulco - all near the main beach, Bahia de Santa Cruz. Activities such as bird watching, ziplining, rafting, horseback riding, marlin fishing and a bevy of water sports are offered.
With the beauty of nature by day and well appointed comfort by night, Huatulco is another excellent choice for your honeymoon destination.
