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.

¡Viva Puerto¡ magazine issue on Mazunte

Hi, I am the publisher of ¡Viva Puerto! [vivapuerto.com] and we plan to do a feature article on Mazunte. ¡Viva Puerto! is a bilingual magazine with a print run of 3,000 copies an issue plus over 30,000 visits to our website.I will be arriving in Mazunte on Saturday morning, Nov 3, with my assistant, and plan to stay until Wednesday. (I've been there before, but mostly on day trips.)

I would appreciate any tips for articles. Also I would like to meet with anyone (English or Spanish speaker) who would like write for the magazine, perhaps as a regular columnist. I pay the going rate for free lance work. I am also looking to hire a professional Spanish -English translator with experience in journalism.

Please contact me at Vivapuerto1@gmail.com

Thanks much,

Barbara Schaffer

Hola Barbara,
Buenas suerte on you new publication. I hope it becomes popular like the San Miguel de Allende bilingual newspaper called, "La Atencion" , and it prospers. I've put ads in La Atencion when I lived there as a massage therapist. I still vacation there and have friends who live there. I currently live in Buckeye, Arizona. I'm retired and one of a kind cremation, also the brother of Gloria Johnson Ramirez the owner of Posada Shambhala de Playa Zipolite. It is amazing how much La Costa Sur de Oaxaca has changed. I know you are looking for writers to contribute to your VivaPuerto publication and would like to recommend a good friend named Tina winterlik who is on her way with her daughter to Oaxaca city for the Day of the Dead celebration. She plans on returning to Zipolite on the 3rd. of November. She is an excellent resource for your publication and you should talk to her about it. Check out her Zipolite Blog Spot for more information http://tinawinterlik.blogspot.mx. As for VivaPuerto contributions I would be willing to contribute from the areas knowledge and past experience or give your reporters leads for future articles. For example did you know prisoners in the Pochutla prison have a craft cottage industry that my sister Gloria started for them amny years ago. She has their respect for helping them out to be productive and make a few pesos. I was insturmental in starting the Shambhala New Years Eve Karma Cleaning ceremony many years ago and it is still going strong! I've lived in Zipolite 40 years ago my dear and was last there after the Carlotta hurricane hit the coast. My writing is not perfect but it just needs a good editor, lol. So think about using my good friend Tina and me for contributions to your new publication. Tan cuidado, Daniel Roberto Ortega de Shambhala
