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.

Mpox emergency among festival-goers in Zipolite, Oaxaca, all the details of this outbreak here in PueblaNews.

An outbreak of Mpox (monkeypox) has been identified among festival-goers in Zipolite, Oaxaca, prompting a health clinic to issue a health emergency notice.

The Condesa Specialized Clinic , based in Mexico City (CDMX) , issued a statement warning about cases of Mpox detected in people who attended a festival in Zipolite, Oaxaca , between January 31 and February 3, 2025 .

💡 Mpox (formerly known as monkeypox) is a viral disease that is transmitted primarily through close physical contact , such as kissing, hugging, and sexual intercourse.

The incubation period for Mpox is up to 21 days . If this time has passed since the festival and you have not shown symptoms, there is no risk associated with this exposure .

⚠️ Although the situation does not represent a serious alarm, the clinic emphasizes the importance of monitoring sexual health and self-care.

Hola my Mexico-loving friends!


This month's email comes to you as I prepare to return to beautiful (and warm and sunny!) Mexico in a few days.


I'm headed to a new-to-me city and state, Veracruz (my 22nd Mexican state!). I'm excited to spend a few days there before I begin a bigger adventure that will take me around some off-the-beaten-path spots around the state of Oaxaca, finishing in the beautiful capital city of the same name.


I haven't been to Oaxaca since 2018. I'm intrigued to see how much it has changed and to enjoy the incredible food culture of Mexico's culinary capital.


Of course, I'll be sharing live updates from the road on Instagram and Facebook and once I'm home I'll be writing about it on my blog and sharing videos on YouTube. I can't wait to explore more of this magical country!

Huatulco police implicated in murder of four young men from Tlaxcala

Puebla, Pue., Municipal police from Huatulco could be linked to the disappearance and murder of four young people from Tlaxcala, whose bodies were among nine found last Sunday in an abandoned vehicle on the Cuacnopalan – Oaxaca highway, near the Puebla municipality of San José Miahuatlán, reported sources close to the case.

They explained that Brenda Mariel Salas, 19 years old – who was part of the group of travelers sought in Oaxaca since February 27, and who was found alive on a highway in Puebla last Monday – declared that she and Angie Lizeth Pérez García, 29 years old, were deprived of their liberty by alleged agents of Huatulco, who beat them, and then abandoned her alone on a road.

According to this version, both women would have been picked up when leaving the Jocha Lodging, owned by José Alfredo Lavariega Canseco, who in 2021 ran for mayor of Huatulco under the banner of the Social Encounter Party and last Sunday morning was shot while driving his private vehicle.

Oaxaca Governor Salomón Jara Cruz announced that next Friday there will be a meeting between prosecutors and heads of Public Security areas of that entity and Puebla in order to advance the investigation of the case.

According to ministry sources, four of the nine bodies found in Puebla on Sunday night correspond to the Tlaxcalans reported missing while vacationing on the beaches of Huatulco and Zipolite.

They are Raúl Emmanuel González Lozano, 28 years old; Lesly Noya Trejo, 21; Angie Lizeth Pérez García, 29, and Jacqueline Ailet Meza Cázares, 23, originally from the municipalities of Yauhquemehcan, Tzompantepec and Apizaco.

Investigating the whereabouts of 4

Meanwhile, the whereabouts of Noemí Yamileth López Moratilla, 28; Rolando Armando Evaristo, 22; Rubén Antonio Ramos Flores, 22, and Uriel Calva, 22, reported missing in the same area, are still being investigated.

Authorities are conducting the respective studies to confirm or rule out the possibility that the remains of any of them are among the bodies found in San José Miahuatlán.
