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.

PRESS RELEASE: Transierra Norte

We are psyched to announce that Transierra Norte - Day Of The Dead Enduro is coming back for its third edition with many surprises in store. Coming soon October 30th - November 3rd, 2019.

A multi-day and blind Enduro race taking place in the Northern mountain system of Oaxaca Mexico that delivers a great mixture of culture, local traditions, an amazing culinary experience and a great variety of terrain to race on. Racers are settled at 1900 meters over the sea level in shared cabins up on the mountains where the party starts every day to race 3-5 timed stages.

In the last 2 years, experienced riders from more than 10 different nationalities have tested the Mexican soil and party while we celebrate life riding bikes on some of the most authentic tracks out there. Most trails have existed for hundreds of years, used by communities to exchange goods and services such as food, water and other resources carried by donkeys. Today we work along with the local communities to make these gems a paradise for mountain bikers and to share them with one of the biggest Mexican festivities which is the "Day of the Dead".

A perfect race to wrap the racing season full of GOOD TIMES, people to meet and experiences to live. Let the Mexican riding take you to the limits of an overall lifetime mountain bike experience.

This year we will surprise competitors with new trails full of amazing dirt, rocky sections, tight and loose corners and more than 1000 m of elevation loss. The race is mostly assisted by our Mexican shuttle trucks with some pedal transfers inside of a magic forest with stunning views, aid stations, and mechanical support.
