Playa Zipolite. Welcome To The Beach Of The Dead!: 5 Mexico deal alert: Fly to Puerto Vallarta for as low as $220 round-trip

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.

5 Mexico deal alert: Fly to Puerto Vallarta for as low as $220 round-trip

Mexico deal alert: Fly to Puerto Vallarta for as low as $220 round-trip

While many travelers are always on the lookout for great deals to Cancun, Mexico, the country has plenty of other great destinations full of luxurious resorts and beach access. One such place is Puerto Vallarta on Mexico’s west coast. And right now, you can find some great deals from a handful of U.S. cities that could bolster your fall calendar or allow you to escape to a warmer climate for a few days during the cold winter months.

Airfare from several U.S. cities to Puerto Vallarta is going for under $300 round-trip right now, and in some cases well below that mark: we found a $220 out of New York City, for instance.

There are tons of great places to stay at the Mexican destination, including the Hyatt Ziva Puerto Vallarta, the Marriott Puerto Vallarta Resort and Spa and the Westin Resort and Spa, Puerto Vallarta.

If a stop in Mexico City along the way is of interest, you could fly Mexican flagship carrier Aeromexico, a member of the SkyTeam Alliance, and make a lengthier stop in the capital city, though a long layover is certainly not a requirement to find a good deal.

Thanks to Scott’s Cheap Flights for flagging the bargain airfare to Puerto Vallarta. For memberships starting at $49 annually, you’ll get alerts on economy deals. For a membership starting at $199, you’ll get premium economy and business-class deals.

November and early December are great times to travel with thinner crowds in airports and at destinations, and with the weather getting a lot cooler in much of the U.S., jetting off to a warm location makes it even better.
