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.

Another Great News Story about Reasons Why Tourists Should Choose Mexico! Just a quick intro to an article that speaks for itself…


Another Great News Story about Reasons Why Tourists Should Choose Mexico!

Just a quick intro to an article that speaks for itself…
The message is consistent with the many other articles we’ve reposted on this blog: Huatulco is a great and safe choice for people who want to participate in the richness of the Mexican culture.
“The Canadian government’s travel advisory for Mexico is one level higher than the baseline: “exercise normal security precautions.”
I think despite this hidden reality, the glaring headlines that promote the negative events in Mexico remain top of mind for the vast majority of Canadian tourists.
As a Canadian who shares a deep love for travel with the other tourists of the world, I find it incredibly sad that there is such a misperception of what Mexico offers tourists.
“…out of more than a million Canadian visitors a year, many of them on a seven-day beer-and-tequila binge in the hot sun, they are statistical anomalies. The same statistical anomalies that inspired Air Canada, in an internal memo last week, to suggest downtown hotels in Winnipeg are too dangerous for its staff.”
As per the quote above from this article, I think once the media puts a slant on a particular destination that causes eyebrows to raise or concerns to grow, it’s just as easy for tourists to move on to another destination option.
The only thing I can do is continue to share these credible resources to promote the beauty, culture and adventure that awaits those who are willing to look beyond the propaganda.
