Huatulco / Zipolite
http://www.todohuatulco.com/zipolite.html
In Zapotec means "Beach of the Dead." Nudist beach located in the State of Oaxaca, southern Mexico Profundo.
Zipolite became famous in the 70s when whole colonies of hippies came to enjoy this beach was the only nudist beach in Mexico.
In low tourist season is a little more quiet, just in case the weekend is a bit more movement.

Additional notes: - THE MAGICAL WATERFALLS! November 20, 2014 waterfallfix When Lindsey asked if we wanted to go to camping at the Cascadas Magicas (magical waterfalls) our answer was a solid…heck yes! But we had no idea exactly how incredibly magical and out of this world these waterfalls would be. First, imagine taking a 3 hour drive through thick green jungle along a bumpy, gravelly dirt road in hot, humid weather.

THE MAGICAL WATERFALLS!
When Lindsey asked if we wanted to go to camping at the Cascadas Magicas (magical waterfalls) our answer was a solid…heck yes! But we had no idea exactly how incredibly magical and out of this world these waterfalls would be. First, imagine taking a 3 hour drive through thick green jungle along a bumpy, gravelly dirt road in hot, humid weather.
Then imagine parking next to a mystical, turquoise, mineral rich pool, jumping into said pool, splashing around, and even swimming beneath a waterfall. After cooling off, you would set off on the hike to the cascadas magicas, thinking to yourself, “wait these aren’t the magical waterfalls?”. Hiking along the clay trail lined with moss, twisty trees, and big green leaves in every direction, you stop when you see a rope swing hanging from a tree! Jon tests it out first of course.
Keep on hiking and you reach the Cascadas Magicas. You pause and take in the breathtaking beauty of nature. A man-made wooden railing and some rope guide you up the waterfall (like literally through the rushing water) and into a cave (that’s right, a cave). Jon goes through the cave first without hesitation. Carolyn yells, “Jon what are you doing!? You aren’t going in there, are you!? Wait for me!” Lindsey follows like a champ. We are lowered into a small and surprisingly clean and bug-less dark ravine where we follow the water out a hole that takes us back to Edgar who is playing with their dog Maya in the pool below.
You might decide to stay for a bit in the cool water, then hike back to the campground, make some rabbit for dinner, play some cards with hot cocoa. Then sleep to the sound of rushing water.
Breakfast at camp
You’d likely wake up the next morning slowly with coffee and scrambled eggs, play some more cards, and then head to the “big” magical waterfalls, thinking to yourself “wait, there are bigger waterfalls!?”. What better way to spend a weekend than among nature’s two most incredible wonders- waterfalls and good people. Here are more magical pictures:
And the icing on the cake this weekend was picking up Carolyn’s sister, Julia!!! She has stopped by to spend a few days with us on her way back home to San Francisco after a two week work trip in Nicaragua. More on our reunion in the next post. Hasta luego!

Hurricane Marie, which briefly reached the highest possible category five destructive
power, is still potent but weakening in the Pacific off Mexico, weather officials said Tuesday.
It is far off land, about 750km (475 miles) off Baja California Sur moving west-northwest.
Some 10,000 people in and around Oaxaca, one of Mexico’s poorest states, sustained damage to their homes
from Marie, officials said.
Meanwhile, the marines continue to search for three fishermen who have been missing since their boat sank on
Sunday off the resort of San Jose de los Cabos.
Officials there declared an emergency in ten municipalities due to the effects of the storm, which included
massive flooding.
