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.

One Dream
Two Brothers
One continent
Two brothers follow their dream of surfing the American Pacific showing the Continent as a whole, through its different cultures, villages, food, people, animals and landscapes while camping and surfing on their way back home to Argentina.
Julián and Joaquín Azulay (Gauchos del Mar) are two argentinean brothers that made a trip through the American Continent on a truck starting from Los Angeles, CA and finishing in Buenos Aires, Argentina surfing the American Pacific coastline.  Their dream of surfing America lasted 403 days, where they drove more tan 30,000 kms across 13 countries. 
They show the Continent as a whole, through its different cultures, towns, villages, food, people, animals and landscapes while camping and surfing perfect and remote waves on their way back home.
Their dad was one of the first surfers in Argentina in 1963, so as to put the audience in context they introduce their journey as a legacy their father gave them by showing 8mm and 16mm footage on how surfing started in Argentina.
The film has a strong social, cultural and surfing content where they transmit messages of simpleness, freedom, passion, brotherhood, environmental awareness and social responsability apart from showing that life in the city is an option, but not the only one.
Sometimes dreams are not as easy as they seem.  These two brothers overcome their adversities during 13 months in order to achieve theirs.
