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.

Zipolite



Des de l'hamaca de la terrassa d'un bungalou de La Loma Linda, a Zipolite ("la platja dels morts"), observo com un picot (carpintero chejé) menja els fruits d'una palmera. L'ocell té un cant estrident i llueix taques de color vermell i groc al cap, i a les ales té ratlles blanques i negres (estil zebra).

El Pacífic fa respecte amb les seves onades gegants que aprofiten el surfistes, no pas avui, perquè el cel és ben fosc i amenaça tempesta.

La costa oaxaquenya té fama de remota i verge. Zipolite, en concret, és un paradís hippie i té l'única platja nudista reconeguda oficialment a Mèxic. 

He vist gent rarota i molta pudor de porro. La diferència entre els indígenes i els estrangers és tan bèstia que els segons semblen extraterrestres. He ensopegat amb una colla que devien sortir de fer meditació o ioga, la majoria dels quals joves, i caminaven esmaperduts, entotsolats, en silenci...

No estic gaire catòlic. He passat una mala nit. La culpa va ser del sopar. Vaig badar i ho estic pagant car. Al tercer món no pots despistar-te ni un minut, sinó pringues. El restaurant era dubtós i el peix que vaig demanar encara més. Mira, em feia ilu menjar peix després de veure les barques dels pescadors... Els bacteris van envair-me els budells. Les corrípies van ser fulminants, amb perill de deshidratació. He dormit poc. De bon matí he anat a un OXXO (omnipresents en aquest país, petits súpers oberts les 24 h on pots trobar de tot). Allà he aconseguit Gatorade i píndoles adients per estroncar el tema. Estic millor. He begut aigua de coco (amb una canya, succionant-la del coco natural) i acabo de menjar un plàtan madur. No tot són flors i violes, família. Em feia el xulo per haver resistit 15 dies la picantosa gastronomia mexicana (ous de formiga i saltamartins inclosos) i, ja veus, he caigut de quatre grapes al final. Cal ser més humil i anar amb molt de compte.


Bandera vermella a la platja. Ben a prop n'hi ha una, de platja, que es diu Playa del Amor. A veure si la puc visitar demà, que farà més bon temps i tindré més empenta.

Mentrestant, em conformo amb la contemplació de l'espectacle del cel, trons i llampecs, el vent que aixeca onades sorolloses, la verdor que m'envolta, espessa i selvàtica, el temps que transcorre lentament... 

Avui, com ahir, la propietària de l'hotel és alemanya. Es diu Katia. És mestra de ioga i Feldenkrais. El marit és mexicà (Diego). Tenen dos fills adolescents i un parell de gossos mansos.

El picot ha marxat en sentir un tro ben gros. 

Hi ha dies que millor no moure's gaire. No és mal lloc per a reposar. Per què li van posar pacífic al Pacífic? Algú ho sap?

Even the butterflies have a mobile app

Application provides real-time data about migration of monarch butterflies


Monarch butterfly record-keeping is going high tech in Guanajuato with the development of a mobile app to record sightings.
MonarcaMX is designed to give volunteers and environmental authorities real-time data about the presence of the migratory insect in the state.
“Before . . . we gathered information on a piece of paper and then mapped it and traced the [butterflies’] route,” said David Guzmán González, the natural protected areas coordinator of the state’s Institute of Ecology.
Now there are no more bits of paper but instead an application that is available in the Google Play Store.
In less than a minute, Guzmán said, volunteers can report in detail the sighting of a monarch butterfly.
“We’ll have data in real time regarding the date, the place and the number of butterflies sighted, allowing us to have larger coverage of the state. Any [Android] cell phone owner can download the app, which does not take up too much space and can work offline,” he explained.
Guzmán also reported that the state government continues teaching people more about the monarch butterfly and the importance of its annual migration to Mexico from Canada and the United States.
The program is designed to promote the conservation of the migratory insect, and is also directed at the staff of several municipalities.
Last year, volunteers made 1,200 monarch sightings, a trove of data that has allowed authorities to know more about the different stages of the insects’ route through Guanajuato.
Training volunteers and government workers for monitoring the butterflies began on October 5. “Twenty municipalities have joined this effort and we’ve trained a total of 1,500 people, 500 of whom are volunteers,” Guzmán said. “We still have a few more days . . . to train more people because we’re expecting to see the monarch butterflies to be flying over the state between October 25 and 30.”
The Institute of Ecology’s butterfly conservation efforts also include the care of pollinating gardens in the municipalities of Acámbaro, Silao and Celaya, where the monarchs can obtain food and rest.
