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.

10 Websites Designed to Spare Your Travel Budget

by paradise

Jetsetter

If you love to travel in the lap of luxury, Jetsetter is the service for you. This division of the fashion company Gilt Group offers limited-time-only deals on some of the world’s most upscale resorts. Sign up for their private sales, or browse the offerings on the website to see a selection of deep hotel discounts.

Travelzoo

Sick of spending hours searching for the hottest deals? Let Travelzoo take care of the dirty work. This online service collects the top 20 travel offers from across the web and sends them to your inbox every week. You can even sign up for a VIP list that gives you access to flight, hotel and package sales days before everyone else.

Trip Advisor

Though Trip Advisor offers plenty in the way of coupons and discounts, its real benefit goes beyond the actual money you’ll save on your American Express card. Thanks to its collection of reviews, you can uncover a property’s benefits and drawbacks before you put down a deposit. It’s a great way to avoid unpleasant surprises and ensure that you spend your cash on the right hotel.

Trip Alertz

Like Jetsetter, Trip Alertz is a flash-sale site with an eye for the deepest discounts. Not only will you find hard-to-believe flight and hotel deals on a regular basis, but you can also take part in weekly giveaways that might just land you a completely free vacation.

Airfare Watchdog

Frequent fliers, meet your new best friend. This popular online service tracks down hidden fares and limited-time discounts in nearly every global destination, so you can fly cheaply without having to do all the behind-the-scenes legwork. Plus, you can sign up for email alerts that let you know when your favorite routes are on sale.

Kayak

Kayak may seem like a run-of-the-mill fare aggregator, but its Kayak Explore section is a serious boon for travelers. Choose your departure city, departure month and estimated budget, and this map will show you where you can fly for how much. It’s ideal for travelers who have a set budget but are open to trip ideas.

Tablet

Interested in finding design-centric hotels for a fraction of the usual rates? Tablet Hotels has exactly what you need. This website concentrates on interesting, trendy and so-cool properties so that you can track down the hottest little spots from Denver to Dubai at the most amazing prices.

Hipmunk

Hipmunk takes flight searching to an entirely new level. Rather than simply spit out a selection of fares based on schedule and price, this service sorts your results according to the amount of agony you’re likely to endure. This organizational scheme takes several elements into consideration — for instance, flight duration, number of stops, length of layovers and price — and gives you the results that are ideal for both your budget and your general happiness.
