Corners of Oaxaca/ Mazunte, magical place of Oaxaca
Text and photos: José Pérez Camacho.
Oaxaca.-Without a doubt, our state, as I have already indicated, and continuing the tour through the "Rincones de Oaxaca" is privileged for its diversity of climates, ecosystems, nature and cultures, which offer tourists a natural and incomparable experience.
Another example of these natural beauties is undoubtedly Mazunte - which belongs to the municipality of Santa María Tonameca - and its beautiful beaches. The sand is golden with a medium grain, the water is warm and crystalline with green and blue tones. The slope and the waves are moderate, and that tranquility makes it a favorite for tourists.
Some of the first inhabitants of the town say that the name of Mazune was awarded, rather due to the abundance of a crab known by that name and that for a long time occupied an important place in the diet of the population.
A sanctuary for meditation and fun can be found on Mazunte beach, which stands out for enjoying beautiful sunrises and sunsets and where it is possible to watch the olive ridley turtle spawn, as well as being a spiritual site since pre-Hispanic times.
A paradise is undoubtedly, Mazunte, with colorful sunsets and highlights the beauty of Cerro Sagrado, also called Punta Cometa.
For decades, in my Corners of Oaxaca, I have pointed out Mazunte as a magical place. Since ancient times it was a reason for admiration and veneration. Numerous pre-Hispanic vestiges have been found. The hill is protected by a very old stone wall. rarely spread and unknown, which we observe in my photo. Undoubtedly, the "old stone path", known by the inhabitants of the region, is impressive. I appreciate the attention of Max Ramírez Reyes, a resident of Puerto Ángel, in taking me to that mystical place. It can be reached by a cliff or by the path of the pantheon.
Mazunte, in addition to its main beach, has other very attractive ones, such as Rinconcito and Mermejita beaches and near these, the beaches of Aragón, San Agustín and Ventanilla.
Undoubtedly, no visitor should miss climbing Punta Cometa, a hill located fifteen minutes walk from the beach and considered, along with Mermejita beach, cosmic places.
In Mazunte there is also the Mexican Turtle Center, which I will present in another installment, and nearby, other beautiful places such as Zipolite and Puerto Ángel, all of them are, without a doubt, "Rincones de Oaxaca" worth visiting and even more so, as a pretext for our Guelaguetza festivities.
