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.

The trip to Zipolite

On March 1, we were met at the airport to travel the 24 hours to Zipolite, a small village in Mexico.First stop is Paris. Where we waited for 7 hours. To pass the time we recorded some movies and rotated around the aerodrome different places to sit on. The flight to Mexico City took 12.5 hours.When we land in Mexico City is the 16 degrees. We are somewhat disappointed. We had been promised about 30 degrees. When Anna-Maria goes through customs notes verifier that we should Zipolite and asks if we are to nude bathing. Zipolite is namely a famous nudist beach in Mexico, which we both had missed. Then, X-ray our luggage and Irmelis bag is searched. The inspector is rough and oops, he has taken down the zipper on Irmelis backpack. He fixes it by wrapping the entire backpack making it unable to carry on the shoulder straps. After we managed to check in our luggage to the last domestic trip, we wait about 5 hours before it's time to fly 50 minutes to the coast and the town of Huatulco. In Huatulco we step out with jacket and fleece in 30 degree heat. We are happy!The airport consists of a few stone houses with thatched roof. It is only our aircraft there. We take a taxi one hour to Zipolite and  Piña  Palmera that will be our home for the next two months.

We are on the way!
