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.

Renew your FM3 Visa by TC


Renew your FM3 Visa

by TC

If you are working in Mexico as a non-immigrant, then every year you must renew your FM3 visa. If you are looking for information on how to get it in the first place, go here.
The renewal process is much simpler than getting the visa in the first place. You can apply to renew the visa 30 days before your visa expires. Make sure that the dates on the application and letters are from within 30 days, not before. For example, mine expires on May 31st, and if I brought in an application and letters dated in April it would be rejected.
Expect to go a minimum of two times. Bring everything you can the first time. They can check it and tell you if anything is missing, and you can get the form for the payment and any other forms you are missing.
Here's what you need for the renewal:
1. Your FM3 card and passport.
2. A payment of $2,356 pesos. First get the form and instructions from the office. You can pay at any bank. Bring your passport for ID.
3. A form called "Formato Basico" that they will give you at the office. It is simple personal information and you can fill it out there. Make sure you know your height and weight in metric.
4. The application. Fill it out online and print it. Do this within 30 days of the expiration date of your FM3, not before. Here's the link: http://www.inm.gob.mx/index.php/page/Solicitud_de_Estancia
5. A letter from your company stating that you will continue working under the same contract. They should also give you the form they have from the government to hire foreign workers. Unless you are their first foreign worker, they will know exactly what to give you.
6. Copies of your last three pay stubs. On the official list of documents you need it says just one, but they asked me for three. It is better to bring more than fewer documents.
7. A letter from you stating that you want your FM3 renewed. Here, you can use mine:
Instituto Nacional de Migración
Subdelegación Local en xxx
Re:
Mi nombre es xxx, y mi nacionalidad es xxx. Solicito mi prorroga de calidad de no inmigrante y manifestó que subsisten las condiciones bajo las cuales me fue concedida la característica migratoria, así como confirmo las mismas actividades en las que me encuentra realizando. Soy xxx (your profession).
De antemano, agradezco puedan llevar a cabo mi solicitud de manera positiva.
Saludos cordiales.
xxx
8. Five photographs in color and in "infantil" size: three from the front, and two from the sides. If you have doubts, you can get a paper that explains it all in the office.
Good luck! It should take between one and two weeks. Remember to dress nice, be polite, and make copies of everything.

2012 Huatulco World Cup press conference highlights

By Erin Greene on 04/05/12 at 10:13 pm
Past world champion Ivan Rana (ESP) and 2011 Pan Am Games bronze medallist Pamela Oliveira (BRA) joined Mexico’s Claudia Rivas and Crisanto Grajales in the Huatulco heat to speak with the media ahead of the third stop of the 2012 ITU World Cup season. The athletes made one thing clear on Friday: qualifying for the Olympics is everyone’s top priority.
Claudia Rivas (MEX)
On the importance of the race
“The competition on Sunday is very important for us. Many competitors are very strong. Many people are here to qualify and earn points for a place at the Olympics. I hope I will be able to continue to maintain Mexico’s standing (in the Olympic rankings).”
On why she enjoys competing in Huatulco
“I like the Huatulco race a lot. I like the bike portion of the race. It is one of the hardest triathlons of the season, not only because of the bike, but also because of the heat. The heat is very intense. It is very difficult. For this reason, it is one of my favorite races.”
Pamela Oliveira (BRA)
On improving her performance from previous years
“My first race here in Huatulco was very bad. It was very hot and hard. The run changed everything. I think this year I am more prepared. I am thinner now and I think it will help me. This year my running has improved. I did my best World Cup finish last year at this race, and I think this year I can finish even higher.”
On her race condition
“I have to take advantage of how well I am racing right now because of the points for the Olympics. I want to secure the place and points for Brazil because I want to go to London.”
Ivan Rana (ESP)
On competing for a spot at the Olympics 
“I think this race is going to be very difficult. We are in the final qualifications for the Olympics and there are many people who are working to gain points for a place at the Olympics. I am just two points out of the Spanish team. But, I like when you have to fight and you are really close to the others.”
On why the race course is beneficial for him
“I think many people came here because, like Claudia, they like the course. In my case, I have a problem with my foot and I think most people will run slowly after such a difficult bike. We will be destroyed after the bike, but that is good for me.”
Crisanto Grajales (MEX)
On why Huatulco is an ideal race for the Mexican National Olympic Committee
“I think, more than anything, many of us came to race here because of the heat and the difficulty of the race. Many countries came to secure a place for the Olympic Games. We have three Mexicans in the men’s race. We all want to go to the Olympic Games. Our main concern is to conserve the places we have for the Olympics because there are just three qualification races left - Huatulco, then San Diego and Madrid.”
Hosting an ITU Triathlon World Cup for the fifth consecutive year, Huatulco is considered one of the toughest tests on the entire ITU circuit. From a standing sprint beach start athletes begin with a two-lap, 1.5km swim in beautiful Santa Cruz bay.  Athletes then embark on a gruelling eight-lap 40km bike course through the centre of town, which includes a punishing 24% grade hill and some technical turns on each lap.  The race finishes with a four-lap 10km run with two hills on each lap.
The elite women start at 08:00 local time, while elite men begin at 10:45 on Sunday 6 May.  Follow the action with live timing and text updates at triathlon.org/live.
