Eco-friendly Mazunte

March 31, 2012 by spixl

Mazunte was the first beach on Oaxaca’s coast I visited.  The beach is stunningly beautiful and uncrowded and accommodations lean toward the small and environmentally conscious.

In addition to the appeal of the warm clear waters of its beach and digging your feet in the sand as you dine on fresh fish tacos, Mazunte is home to the Natural Cosmetics Cooperative, established by Anita Roddick, founder of the Body Shop.  The cooperative’s products (soaps, lotions, oils, mosquito repellent, etc.) are available in the city of Oaxaca at the weekly Friday/Saturday Organic Market in the plaza of Santo Tomás in the Xochimilco neighborhood.

Mazunte also houses the National Mexican Turtle Center, whose successful work is the subject of Tim Johnson’s recent blog post, Turtle Hatchlings Head for the Sea.

   We stayed at the Alta Mira in 2007. It’s owned by an American woman and her Mexican husband. It’s on the hill that runs up from the beach, views are beautiful, and all the bungalows have balconies with hammocks. A couple of acquaintances stayed their recent and were quite happy with it.

   See you in July!
