Auto Zone, a large U.S. chain which sells auto parts and offers full service repairs and diagnosis, is under construction on the Coastal Highway next to Nissan. Auto Zone's website states that they recycle all used motor oil and batteries. That's a plus. According to the new store's architect, un caballero from Tampico, the terms of the construction contract call for the store to be completed at the end of August.

That another large chain has opted for Puerto Escondido speaks of an optimism I can't quite fathom, but it's certainly possible they know something I don't.

@ Dogtown, like they say in Spanish: "Que la boca se te haga chicharron"... (which implies the same as knock on wood).
I truly hope I never see those food chains in Puerto.

Whatever became of the Soriano store that was supposed to be built on the highway in Emiliano Zapata? Remember all the buzz?

Where is Emilio Zapate in relation to the El Che and Playa Zicatela? I assume this is nearby?

Emiliano Zapata is the colonia after Lázaro heading east on the Highway. It's opposite Los Tamarindos.

Puerto Escondido, Mexico Weather

Puerto Escondido, Mexico Weather

Puerto Escondido is located on the Pacific Coast of Mexico with the Sierra Madre Mountains to the north and rainforests to the south. Puerto Escondido enjoys a tropical climate with an average temperature of 30 degrees Celsius (86 degrees Fahrenheit), with seasonal fluctuations of 4 to 6 degrees. The rainy season is said to begin in May but normally arrives in June or July and continues until October. During this time, there can be extended periods of rain and cloud, although it is typical to have sunny mornings with heavy rain and thunderstorms occurring late in the afternoon and evening. The dry season runs from November to April, which is a popular time for surfers and tourists. Check out our Puerto Escondido, Mexico Weather Forecast below for the current weather conditions.

  Huatulco (La Crucecita : Profile

Location

Huatulco (Bahias de Huatulco) is a resort town located at the southern end of Mexico’s Pacific Coast, south of Acapulco. It sits at the foot of the Sierra Madre del Sur mountains on a series of nine bays, surrounded by quiet, unspoiled tropical beauty.

It is a very useful location to wait out strong winds or to clear in or out of Mexico.

Location 15° 45.97'N, 96° 07.2'W.

Clearance

The marina also cannot assist with zarpes or clearance out of the country. After obtaining proof that your marina bill is paid, you must go to the Port Captain in Santa Cruz, then to the bank, then to Immigration, then to Customs (with perhaps another bank visit). Customs makes arrangements to inspect your boat. You will need to start all this several days in advance of your anticipated weather window for the Tehuantepec if you are going south.

The Port Captain and Customs are only open 9-5 on weekdays. Immigration office closes at 13:00.

Last updated June 2012.

Docking

There is a marina here which is reported to be expensive. It is about a 30 minute walk from the town centre.

The anchorage to the south west, at Santa Cruz, has room for several transient boats to the east of the cruise ship dock. The anchorage is limited by coral, the channel to the darsena, and panga moooring bouys. It is possible to use the sea wall behind the tour boat dock to secure the dinghy. If going into the town, if will be cheaper to walk a couple of blocks away from the cruise ship berths before picking up a taxi.

The town, has a supermarket, also hardware stores and some chandlery/fishing supplies.

Marina Chahue
Tel:(958)587 2652marinachahue@hotmail.com
Opening Hours: 9-5 on weekdays and 9-2 on weekends
The entrance to the marina is extremely narrow and has several jogs; cruisers advise to stay in the exact centre. Power and water to all pontoons. Cold water outdoor showers. Surge and current in the marina makes safe manuevering very difficult for boats over 30ft long. For fuel, yachts must go to the commercial dock in town.
The current Harbour Master, Ezequiel Gutierrez Arechiga, speaks English.

Los Delphines De Puerto Escondido

Last weekend, we spent the morning out on the ocean. We hired "una lancha" - a narrow motor boat and a guide, Ivan, to take us out on the water on a tour to look for dolphins, sea turtles, and maybe fish a little as well. We left shore about 7:30 am, and planned to return before 11 in order to avoid the heat of the day.

We made our way east along the coast, past the city of Puerto, and then took a right and headed straight out to sea. The water was rising and falling in long, lazy swells. It was calm. After about 45 minutes, Amy and I began to wonder if this was really the way to find dolphins. Small fish periodically would break the surface and shoot across the water. Turtles heads and shells would also appear and disappear among the swells. After probably an hour a half, Ivan and his colleague suddenly shouted "Delphines!"

Sure enough, about 1/2 mile away, we could see dolphins shooting into the air. Apparently they regularly gather up in the morning off the coast, sometimes in the hundreds, and swim together before breaking up into smaller groups to hunt. There are a number of varieties of dolphins that frequent these waters, but we only saw white-sided or white belly dolphins. There were at least a hundred - shooting under the boat, bursting out of the water just beyond the boat's bow or beyond its wake. They seemed curious, were fantastically fast and energetic.

At one point we jumped in the water (amid hundreds of tiny stinging jelly fish, I might add). Underwater, we could hear their faint whistles in the distance. Me and kids got out after a few minutes, and then Amy got out suddenly, at the urgent request of Ivan. They had spotted a highly venomous sea snake on the other side of the boat. Only 2-3 feet long, these snakes live all their lives out in the middle of the ocean. Their bite is very dangerous, and occasionally fatal.

Here a few photos and a little video from our trip...

Liesl, at the start of the trip. 7 am.

Amy and some weird dude who kept following her around.

Our guides Ivan and Ray.

Ray jumped in the water and grabbed this turtle and he and Ivan hauled it aboard. They assured us that the turtle didn't mind. I am not so sure...After about 30 seconds, we pushed him back overboard.

Here's shot of a dolphin leaping.

Here are a few views from the boat.

This is a photo of the type of dreaded Sea Snake that Amy almost wrestled. Occasionally they get washed up on shore.

Amy and Liesl hard at work bringing dinner on board.

Mahi-mahi. We took one, and Ivan and Ray took the rest.
