We arrived in Pachutla before sunrise after our overnight bus from Oaxaca. We hung out with the locals who were lining up to catch a jeep to the beaches and they were so helpful at ensuring we got on the right jeep headed for Zipolite. Once we arrived we began the hot and sweaty walk up to our private bungalow and perhaps began to regret the extra kilos of food we had bought with us to cook over the next few days! But we eventually made it and were stoked with our open-air bungalow, complete with its own patio, hammock, outdoor kitchen, ensuite and king bed. This was home for the next 4 nights. ❤️
And so the next few days were pure bliss. We cooked up the most delicious feasts for each meal, walked on the nudie beach (yep....we may have got involved, but will spare you the photos of that giggly experience), relaxed in the hammocks, wrote our blog, read lots of books and lived the definition of 'chilling out'.
We spent one day at the nearby backpacking haunt, Mazunte beach, where we enjoyed a nice arvo swimming and relaxing on the beach. But we secretly prefer our quieter nudie rudie beach of Zipolite which we had almost to ourselves the 4 days. This part of the coast is just beautiful and it's hard to imagine how it has remained relatively unknown and very much under-developed compared to the glitzy Caribbean coast of Cancun and Playa del Carmen. Let's hope it stays this way for years to come.
