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.

At the beginning of July, the little house here in my Ranchito will be vacated up in the hills of Zipolite.

 

Hola y buenos días a todos.
Al principio de julio, se va a desocupar la casita aqui en mi Ranchito arriba en las lomas de Zipolite. Somos una familia muy tranquila que busca 1 o 2 personas o una familia que aprecia las detalles particulares de esta bonita casa ecológica con:
-Vista al mar/atardecer/amanecer
-Wifi bastante buena (estamos en la costa, entonces...)
-Cocina completa
-2 camas queen size con un cortina divisoria entre los dos (por privacidad)
-Mini alberca con filtración natural (color de rio)
-Agua caliente
-Baño ecológico
-Paneles solares
-Muros de barro y abiertos que deja el aire fluir
-Plantas y arboles medicinal/permacultura
-Mascotas adorables de casa y mascotas suyas aceptadas
Normalmente, esta casa se renta por mes y honestamente la renta es elevada, pero es verano, y verano trae sus propias cositas. Hay mas bichos, hay tormentas de lluvias fuerte. Cuando hay varios días sin sol, las baterías pueden acabar y tenemos que ahorrar mas la energía. Hay detalles que van a surgir en verano y buscamos personas que son adaptables a estos cambios. O sea, no queremos personas complicadas. Por eso, la renta es menos elevada por las personas perfectas que pueden disfrutar lo verde del bosque, la enorme cantidad de pájaros y la rica sombra y soledad que va mano en mano con las cosas mas complicadas de verano.
Si piensas que puede ser tu, mándame un mensaje personal. Gracias!

Hello and good morning everyone.

At the beginning of July, the little house here in my Ranchito will be vacated up in the hills of Zipolite. We are a very quiet family looking for 1 or 2 people or a family that appreciates the particular details of this beautiful ecological house with:

-View of the sea / sunset / sunrise

-Wifi pretty good (we're on the coast, then ...)

-Full kitchen

-2 queen size beds with a dividing curtain between the two (for privacy)

-Mini pool with natural filtration (river color)

-Hot water

-Ecological bathroom

-Solar panels

-Mud and open walls that let the air flow

-Medicinal / permaculture plants and trees

-Lovely house pets and pets accepted

Normally, this house rents by the month and honestly the rent is high, but it is summer, and summer brings its own little things. There are more bugs, there are heavy rainstorms. When there are several days without sun, the batteries can end and we have to save more energy. There are details that will emerge in the summer and we are looking for people who are adaptable to these changes. I mean, we don't want complicated people. Therefore, the rent is less high for the perfect people who can enjoy the green of the forest, the huge number of birds and the rich shade and solitude that goes hand in hand with the more complicated things of summer.

If you think it could be you, send me a personal message. Thanks!

What's Happening in Mexico Right Now?

 What's Happening in Mexico Right Now?

Hi Mexico-loving friends,

I hope this email finds you well.

Lots of changes again this week in both the traffic light system here in Mexico and even more changes for Luke and me as we make plans for a very big move.

Traffic Light Changes

For those that are new around here, last year Mexico's federal government created a traffic light system to help businesses and people understand the risks of Covid-19 in each state around Mexico. It was then up to the state governments to decide how to interpret these traffic light colors.

Red means the highest risk of covid and that hospitals are near capacity. It has been interpreted in most states at total lockdown. This past Monday began the 14th straight week with no states in the red here in Mexico.

Orange is a level below red status and means that there is still a high risk of covid-19 and many restrictions are still in place, but for the most part, hotels, restaurants, and shops are allowed to be open with about 30% capacity (again this depends on the state's interpretation). Several states have regressed to orange this week including Baja California Sur, Yucatan, and Tabasco. Quintana Roo also remains in the orange for the next two weeks.

Yellow means lower risk level and most places are allowed to have up to 50% capacity. States in yellow are allowed to have fans at sporting events and bars are allowed to be open (in some states clubs are also open in Yellow). Museums and other tourist attractions can be back open with restrictions. The states currently in yellow are Veracruz, Sonora, Sinaloa, Baja California, Chihuahua,Tamaulipas, Nuevo León, Campeche, and Colima.

For over a month running now, more than half of the country's states are in the green, a huge step for getting kids back to school this coming September. Green means that there is a very low risk of Covid, that many places can have more than 75% capacity and almost all services can resume. Precautions like masks and temperature checks are still taken, especially indoors. The states that are currently green in Mexico include: Mexico City, México state, Zacatecas, Nayarit, Michoacán, Puebla, Coahuila, Durango, San Luis Potosí, Jalisco, Aguascalientes, Guanajuato, Querétaro, Hidalgo, Morelos, Oaxaca, Chiapas, Tlaxcala, and Guerrero.

You can read more about these changes in this article.

Updates From the Road

I have been busy editing and uploading our road trip videos from our trip around Baja California Sur. You can find the most recent videos here:

I'm also working hard on a guidebook for Baja California Sur with a huge focus on sharing all of the best things we experienced during our five months in this incredible state. It is without a doubt the most comprehensive guidebook I have written to date and I have poured my heart into the research and reader experience of this book. I can't wait to share it with you in a few short weeks!

Keep up with what's happening in other parts of Mexico

Mexico's traffic light system is ever-changing, as is the interpretation of these guidelines. This past weekend (the 6th of June), the country had state and local elections, which will no doubt change the interpretation of the traffic light system yet again.

Mexico City is green! This is a huge week that I think will make for some exciting openings around the city. Although much of the city reopened a few weeks ago when things changed to orange, I believe with the city going green small businesses can really look forward to what will hopefully be a prosperous summer of recuperating a small portion of their lost incomes. Museums are open around the city, restaurants and bars are back open. Tours are operating as normal with precautions still being taken. For more updates about Mexico City, as always I recommend following Ubish Yaren on Instagram.

For updates about what's going on in Oaxaca, Susan of Brooklyn Tropicali has been sharing her updates of what's going on around the city and even more of Mexico as she begins traveling the country again (she was just in Mexico City for a month sharing so many great tips!).

For regular updates about life in Merida and around the Yucatan, check out Mexico Cassie who has also recently written a fantastic guide about Traveling Yucatan with KidsThe Yucatan Times is the local English newspaper in Merida that shares local updates and news reports.

To keep up with what's going on in and around Queretaro, follow Alex of the Backpacking Brunette.

Trisha of P.S. I'm on My Way regularly shares updates about life in Nayarit where she balances time between Nueva Vallarta where she lives and Sayulita where she works. Vallarta Daily is the local English news there where you can learn about any changes in the situation.

Claire's Itchy Feet is a great page to follow for updates about life in both Nayarit and Playa del Carmen where she splits her time. Riviera Maya News is the local English newspaper there where you can keep up with changes.

For updates about Acapulco, follow Raphael of Journey of Wonders.

As always, a great place to keep up to date with news about what's happening all over Mexico in English is Mexico News Daily.

Visiting Mexico Soon?

If you are planning a trip to Mexico soon, I hope you'll have a browse of the different locations on my blog to help you plan your trip!

I also have three extensive guidebooks available for Mexico City (updated this year with tons of new content!), Merida, and Guanajuato!

As always, you can find me most often on Instagram with daily updates and photos, but I also post very regularly on Facebook if you prefer following along there.

If you have any other questions, please don't hesitate to email me by simply hitting reply on this email.

Speak soon,

Laura
