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.

Anyone hauling stuff to Huatulco?

Just thought I would try this out. I'm looking for someone to haul a satellite dish and bracket down to Huatulco. It's a 70cm dish for Shaw so it's slightly bigger than the normal sized ones. It's just to big to haul on the plane. Where ever you are I'll get the dish to you and I'm willing to pay to have you take it for me. Please send me a PM if interested.
Thanks

We subscribe to Dish TV here in La Crucecita at present but I am Interested to understand how this Shaw thing works in Huatulco. Is it as simple as moving the dish and just using the existing subscription? Do you think that would work with a Bell dish? I've only heard of folks doing that here with Shaw.

Bell and Shaw are the only 2 satelitte companies in Canada and they're both crap. Not sure why anyone would want either one when you have Dish network. You can't get a Bell signal in Huatulco but you can get Shaw. I don't believe that you can use a Bell or Dish Network dish to recieve Shaw signal. Shaw uses an eliptical dish wher the others are round. Most people subscribe to Shaw then just take an extra reciever down with them and leave it there. Problem is getting the dish down.

Ok, thanks for that. In Canada we use Cogeco Cable wich is pretty good. The Dish network in Huatulco is also pretty good. In the summer storms play a little havok. The one thing we found out is that if not used for a "while" the dish system goes to "sleep". We thought there was something wrong. The installer lives in the next complex and gave hime a call. Just needed to be reactivated on line. No big deal.

Sorry I can'y help with the transport. Try posting on TZ Puerto Escondido and Trip Advisor Huatulco. There is a couple from Denver that just may drive down.

Again, thanks for the info and good luck. Not sure how you fly but United wanted 200$ for an oversized box, and slightly oversized at that and under 50 lbs. Last year was 25$ with Continental.
