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.

Hola my Mexico-loving friends!

Welcome back to the monthly Mexico updates!

The World Cup will be kicking off this month across Canada, the US, and Mexico, and Mexico is in full prep mode now. If you are heading to one of the host cities or want to enjoy the game at one of the many fan zones that are being set up, it will no doubt be an electric atmosphere.

Mexico Updates from Around the Web

  • Monterrey is gearing up, quite literally, to create as safe a city as they possibly can for their upcoming World Cup games. Watch the news video here.
  • Next week, Mexico City will host game one of the World Cup, but things are not going to plan. Protests and construction are already causing some logistical problems that will hopefully be cleared up by next Thursday. Read more here.
  • If you are going to be in Mexico City for the start of the World Cup next week, you won't want to miss the parade that will make its way down Reforma on June 13th. Read about it here.
  • There have been talks of creating an Ensenada-to-San Diego ferry for many years, but it looks like they may finally start building it later this year. Learn more about it here.
  • Anyone who has had the pleasure of eating churros from El Moro in Mexico City may wish that they could enjoy it back home. Well, if you live in the Bay Area of California, now you can! They are opening their first international branch later this year. Read about it here.
  • Travel in Mexico is bigger than ever before. It welcomed 26 million international visitors between January and March, a 10.2% increase compared with the same period last year. Tourism revenue surpassed $10.28 billion during the quarter. European tourism is up, Chinese tourism is up, and even cruise ship tourism is up. If your vacation felt a little bit busier than before this year, well, it was. Read more about the stats here.

Hola my Mexico-loving friends!

High season is over, and hot season has begun.

May in Mexico is great if you don't mind higher temperatures, because most snow birds have left and the wet season hasn't quite begun. It's a brief period of time at the beaches and even inland around Mexico City, Guadalajara, and Oaxaca, where you can enjoy a quieter, slightly cheaper experience without worrying about the weather (unless you don't want to be melting in 85 degree days).

Mexico Updates from Around the Web

  • Some of the biggest news in the last month is, unfortunately, a shooting that took place at Teotihuacan two weeks ago. A Canadian woman was killed, and more than a dozen others were injured. It has raised a lot of concerns about whether Mexico City is going to be ready (safety-wise) for the World Cup next month. You can read more about the situation here. In response, the government has stated that it will increase security at tourist sites around the country.
  • Speaking of the World Cup, will the Mexico City airport be ready for the number of people that will come through it in June? They think so.
  • The Mexican government continues to crack down on the Jalisco New Generation Cartel. In April, the military captured one of the cartel's top leaders, only a month after killing kingpin, El Mencho. Read more about it here.
  • If you're a Pacers or a Nuggets fan and want another excuse to visit Mexico City, the two teams will play each other in a regular-season game on November 7th.
  • AeroMexico has launched a "stopover" program, which allows international travelers to visit two destinations on the same ticket, with time spent at each destination in between. Learn more about it here.
  • Starting this winter, there will be four more direct flights between Cabo and Canada, including Edmonton, Toronto, Ottawa, and Montreal. Read the latest on that here.
  • It looks like it's set to be a very active hurricane season along the Pacific coast of Mexico this year. This is how they are preparing for it in Puerto Vallarta.
  • Have you been thinking about Huatulco and whether it's worth the trip? Alex Wittman shared a fantastic video last month of her experience there that reminded me what a special place it is to explore. Watch it here.
  • My favorite food-loving British YouTubers, TopJaw, have finally visited Mexico and made a video about it. For an updated list of some of the best places to eat around Mexico City, check it out here.
