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.

That's good see, but out of Winnipeg you have to go throughToronto. They do not show any direct flights to Huatulco. But that might change later into the year I guess we will have to wait and see what our options are.

Looks like Westjet is your last hope for a direct non-stop alternative to Sunwing for departures out of YWG at this point.......Westjet did announce they were expanding their operations to Mexico with four new flights from Canada.......With Air Canada in the east and Air Transat in the west, perhaps Winnipeg, Regina, and Saskatoon will see Westjet offer direct flights to HUX next season........
If not, you're left with Sunwing, or the... "planes, trains, and automobiles" option through the Excited States.....

no Transat from Vancouver....
Sunwing only....
but, if I am desperate I could fly down with a cheap package from sunwing , stay a little longer and return via Air Canada through toronto....only one stop is nice but ten hours in the air is nasty...... one way air only price right now 1381 all included hux to yvr...ouch
and no Suze, not booking yet :)

Ha ha... let me know your dates of travel... I'm always up for a challenge, just ask Zack aka itszando on the Airfare to Huatulco recent post.
It's great to finally see an alternative carrier for the Eastern Canadian Folks. At this point in time I'm soooo done, kaput, fini on Westjet - offering anything, at least for the upcoming season. With their recent code share partnering with AA, more destinations in Mexico are available, still no Huatulco. Their flights to Zihua look pretty enticing tho'.
