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.

We had paid and booked three tickets for flights on Viva Aerobus from Huatulco to Mexico city the second week of January and got an email from them saying that our flights were no longer valid because the decided to cancel flying to Huatulco after January 6th and that they would not refund our money but offer a coupon that must be used within 60 days ( not really helpful ! )
Stay away from this company because they do not care about their customers at all.
We have taken it up with our credit card company and will fight to get a full refund for services not provided. I will let you all know how it ends.
STAY AWAY FROM VIVA AEROBUS !!!!!!!

Exactly the same happened to me (with a different departure airport. though). I always warn against this airline - fine if you're plans are very flexible but otherwise they are extremely unreliable.

SteveMex and I have been alerting travelers to the problems with this airline, since it took off the ground. Unfortunately the problems persist, so please, listen to what others have said. Even if it's only 5 - 10% of the time, is it really worth the risk? No matter what the budget, one ought to consider that the experience can throw an entire vacation into disarray.
