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.

Journey to Oaxaca 2012 Tales of my 4 month long internship in Oaxaca, Mexico



Journey to Oaxaca 2012

Tales of my 4 month long internship in Oaxaca, Mexico

The Beginning

Mexico Oaxaca, Mexico  |  Apr 10, 2012















Moving to Mexico for four months was never one of my life plans.  I was offered an internship with 
ProWorld’s marketing team in Oaxaca two weeks before my plane left to fly down.  It has been 
a roller coaster ride but I am very thankful for such an amazing opportunity.  My name is Erika 
and I am a recent college graduate from northern Minnesota.  As I sit here typing it is about 85 degrees 
here and about 45 at home.  I have noted a sort of mutual fascination between myself and the local 
Oaxacans that I find a little funny.  Walking down the street a lot of people look at me, probably annoyed 
by the blinding reflection of the sun off of my white skin.  I, in turn, look right back at them wondering 
how on earth they are wearing sweatshirts and black pants when it is 90 degrees out.  I do not fit in 
here, but that is part of the experience.  I have always been interested in travel and different cultures, 
and feel very lucky to be interning for a company that provides not only travel, but meaningful travel, 
allowing it’s participants to actually make a difference in the beautiful destinations they visit.  The staff 
here is super nice and very helpful when it comes to the language barrier I’m doing my best at dealing
 with.  I look forward to doing what I can for this company and learning as much as I can.  I know when I 
look back I will have lots of great stories to tell, and will shake my head thinking of how the time went by 
so fast.  For now, I will live one day at a time and be thankful for every minute I have in this beautiful city.
