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.

I am looking for a portable crib/ playpen, stroller, my daughter will be visiting from Feb 1 to March 6 with her 5 month old . Does anyone know where I could rent these items? Maybe some grandparents have a spare one they would be willing to rent for 1 week?Thank you

We have found it quite difficult getting baby stuff without paying a fortune for it.

If have to buy, one of the better places we have found is on Insurgentes Sur, not sure of the number but it is close to Metrobus stop Olivio and to a Senor Taco bar; between a classy wine shop and a Uruguyan meat restaurant.

it is called Baby Outlet

Huatulco is in Oaxaca so Insurgentes Sur in el DF is a long way away!

It seems that Mexico isn't as big on renting things as in North America. One idea would be to buy a crib from a "muebles rusticos" place - we have seen them for under $2000 pesos - and then sell it after your grand-kid's visit. There are always lots of babies in Mexico and I'm sure someone will buy it from you. The little money you lose between the purchase and resale would be like the rent you would have paid.

That baby basket might just be the answer & also be a fine souvenir of the visit to Mexico.

Great idea, GringoCarlos. Simpler than my idea, probably more economic and, as rvgringo says, would make a wonderful souvenir.
