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.

Bus from San Crisobal de las Casas to either Oaxaca or Zipolite/ Puerto Esc
Hi all, 
I am looking to travel from San Cristobal de las Casas to either PE or Zipolite. 
Do you know if there are night buses, and if yes, are they safe on that route?
What is your general opinion on the safety of night buses in Mexico?
Thanks in advance!

Most of the first class long distance bus routes are at night in MexicoThey are popular with Mexicans. I have never had a problem but when you travel, you run a "risk" anywhere in the world. In my opinion, less in Mexico than in some parts of the world. If you're afraid, don't go. It will be about a 12 hour jaunt. The buses are comfortable, so I snooze zzzzzzzzzzzzzz.

The night bus is the best way to travel long distance in Mexico. Right now its very hot in PE and going to get hotter as we go into summer.
