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.

Publication date: February 2012		The Taste of Chocolate & Fair Trade

FLICKR ALBUM: Chocolate

Ni amor recomendzado ni chocolate recalentado.
Neither rekindle a love affair nor reheat chocolate.
Planeta.com: Chocolate - the raw and processed foods produced from the seed of the tropical cacao tree - is so much more than its Wikipedia definition. Chocolate has a smell, a taste, a mouthfeel that awakens the senses. Think mole negro, chocolate con leche, champurrado, tejate. Better yet, high tail it to Oaxaca to give chocolate its proper respect.
"Nothing could be sweeter than Chocolate Night in Oaxaca," said Planeta.com Chocolateer Ron Mader.
On Wednesday, February 29, it's a talking and tasting, delicious slow adventure at the Instituto Cultural Oaxaca, 6-8pm. The event in sponsored by Planeta.com, Fundación Envia and Instituto Cultural Oaxaca and continues conversations held during Responsible Tourism Week.
