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.

NBA GLOBAL GAMES MÉXICO 2013 SPURS VS TRIQUIS

Barefoot Triqui Indian boys' team 

vs. San Antonio Spurs

Published on Friday, 6 December 2013 16:09 - Written by
A youth team of Triqui Indians from Oaxaca’s Academy of Indigenous Basketball won a tournament in Mexico earlier this year even though most of them elected not to wear shoes.
Later, they played a different team, the San Antonio Spurs, who also elected to go barefoot.
The lack of shoes may have thrown off the Spurs, since the Triqui boys defeated them 10-4.
