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.

Volunteer reconstruction project MAZUNTE





Sunday, July 1, 2012


Volunteer reconstruction project

The next step: Mazunte, Emiliano, is setting up a project for volunteers to help reconstruct the houses that fell, are without roof - so everyone is welcome to join the construction team and get a free construction workshop out of it! As soon as I know the exact dates I will post them here!

El próximo paso: Mazunte, Emiliano, está preparando un "taller de reconstrucción", un equipo de voluntarios que van a reconstruir las casas destruídas así que todos están bien invitados a apuntarse! Cuando se saben las fechas les publico aquí!

A few more Pics so everyone gets an idea how shocked people looked who came back after the hurricane not recognizing Mazunte anymore...
