If you would like to know a divine place ....
come to Zapotengo !
About 10 minutes away from San Pedro Pochutla heading towardsBahias de Huatulco on highway 200, after the bridge Puente el Aguacate (km 217) you have to turn right. A 2 miles long dirt road leads you to the village.
Besides of its far reaching beaches Zapotengo offers an almost 1 mile long lagoon with diverse kinds of mangroves, fauna and flora. The locals propose a good price for excursions by rowboats: Adults 40 pesos Students and kids the half price. The round trip lasts about 2 hours in which you definitely woun't get bored. Even if you don't face any crocodile, the huge amount of birds and plants will overhelm you. |

It would be a good idea to order your dinner in one of these little "palapa" style restaurants before the excursion starts. So it will be ready to eat when you come back.
Local specialities cooked over open fire are offered and of course served with handmade tortillas. If you feel a little exhausted after all and want to take a "siesta", there are hammocks available. So you can indulge in your dreams hanging between palmtrees, swinging in the breeze. |
|
Zapotengo is still an untouched village without any big stores or supermarkets. Therefore you should carry your sun cream, films (don't forget your camera - it's worth it !!), etc. with you.
In the year 2004 the villagers decided to open up Zapotengo for tourism and built a cooperative alike the one in Ventanilla. Their purpose is protection of species and ecotourism. In this manner jobs have been created. Now the villagers don't have to send their family members to the USA as illegal laborers for surviving.
It is a good system because it helps nature and the locals.
So....with your visit you support both !!

If you don't travel by car, you can take a Pesera. They depart at 5:00 am in front of the supermarket Elektra in San Pedro Pochutlaand leave Zapotengo around 6:00 pm.
A taxi charges around 70 pesos. If you don't mind hiking, just pick up any bus to Huatulco, drop off at km 217 (behind the bridge Puente el Aguacate) and walk the 2 miles to the village. |

New Music Spotlight: Sarah Darling – “Home To Me” December 4, 2012 2:44 PM
New Music Spotlight: Sarah Darling – “Home To Me”
December 4, 2012 2:44 PM
Sarah Darling
Introducing Sarah Darling. Sarah hails from the small town of Mitchellville, Iowa, and took the leap to Nashville after a top music executive overheard someone praise her singing voice as she stood in line for an after-concert autograph in Des Moines. In 2011, she was introduced on the stage of the Grand Ole Opry by Vince Gill, and since then has enjoyed success with a #1 video hit on CMT.com with the video to her 2011 single, “Something to Do With Your Hands.” She’s presently working on her third album for Black River Entertainment. Her new single “Home To Me” is, according to Taste of Country, “a sweet southern love song that just might break an artist who’s been working for a break since releasing ‘Jack of Hearts’ in 2009. The lyric has a girl-next-door feel, which is a good fit for the 30-year-old Darling.”
Watch the video below, then tell us what you think of “Home To Me” by Sarah Darling in our New Music Spotlight survey.
You look like Georgia
On a cool summer day.
Your smile hits me like
A breeze blowin’ off the lake.
On a cool summer day.
Your smile hits me like
A breeze blowin’ off the lake.
You talk like Kansas
You can see to the horizon
There’s no place for
The words to hide
‘Cause you mean what you say
Mean what you say
You can see to the horizon
There’s no place for
The words to hide
‘Cause you mean what you say
Mean what you say
Got a heart like Indiana
Laugh like Louisiana
Take me down to Alabama
Show me some of that laid back vibe
Kissin’, while we’re Fishin’ in the moonlight
Shine like California
High like an Arizona noontime
Baby when you’re all mine
Anywhere, any place I go
Laugh like Louisiana
Take me down to Alabama
Show me some of that laid back vibe
Kissin’, while we’re Fishin’ in the moonlight
Shine like California
High like an Arizona noontime
Baby when you’re all mine
Anywhere, any place I go
You feel like home to me.
You feel like home to me.
You feel like home to me.
Love’s taken me across the map,
All the way to hell and back.
Gave everything I had and
I Lost my mind a couple times
Met you and I was sure
I found the center of the universe
Hit the interstate fast and
Now I’m never looking back, no
Lookin’ back, lookin’ back oh no…
All the way to hell and back.
Gave everything I had and
I Lost my mind a couple times
Met you and I was sure
I found the center of the universe
Hit the interstate fast and
Now I’m never looking back, no
Lookin’ back, lookin’ back oh no…
Got a heart like Indiana
Laugh like Louisiana
Take me down to Alabama
Show me some of that laid back vibe
Kissin’, while we’re Fishin’ in the moonlight
Shine like California
High like an Arizona noontime
Baby when you’re all mine
Anywhere, any place I go
Laugh like Louisiana
Take me down to Alabama
Show me some of that laid back vibe
Kissin’, while we’re Fishin’ in the moonlight
Shine like California
High like an Arizona noontime
Baby when you’re all mine
Anywhere, any place I go
You feel like home to me.
You feel like home to me.
You feel like home…
You feel like home to me.
You feel like home…
Got a heart like Indiana
Laugh like Louisiana
Take me down to Alabama
Show me some of that laid back vibe
Kissin’, while we’re Fishin’ in the moonlight
Shine like California
High like an Arizona noontime
