“ Please help with info about Puerto Escondido ”
Jun 30, 2012, 2:47 PM
We actually have booked for Puerto Escondido and would be arriving in the next three weeks. However, I cannot find any up-to-date information about the state of things there. I saw some coverage right after Carlotta hit and have heard that there is no water, beach is a mess, beach restaurants are wiped out. Government officials have visited and designated a significant amount of money to rebuild. It sounds like significant damage. Our accommodation has stated that there is significant damage but that it is "superficial". As much as I want to support the small businesses In PE at this time, I don't really want my 5 days of beach holiday in a construction zone. We don't want to cancel, and haven't yet, but until I get some up to date info I will will cancel and book the beach in another place. I'm waiting until Tuesday and then I need to cancel and rebook etc. We will have to eat our Aerotucan flights as well so it's going to cost.
Does anyone have any information/photos/anything about what is happening there???? Please.

You will be fine...really, just fine...in Puerto.
Yes, there was damage...a great many trees down,
Two good restaurants badly damaged; Guadua and Cipriano's Pizza.
But the cleanup has been amazing ( Puerto shows its best face when the chips are down!).
Truly...driving around, you will see little damage.
I don't know where you are staying, but if you post the name, I can ask what kind of damage they had.
