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.ivan

Low-cost airline Volaris announces 14 new domestic routes
5 of the routes will link Guanajuato with other cities around Mexico
Friday, June 15, 2018
Low-cost airline Volaris announced it will introduce 14 new domestic routes before the end of the year.
From Mexico City, the airline will open new routes to Cozumel, Puerto Escondido, Colima, Guanajuato, Aguascalientes and Tepic.
Five routes will link the Bajío airport of Guanajuato to the cities of Mexicali, Mérida, Puerto Vallarta, Huatulco and Los Cabos.
Two routes will connect the city of Tijuana with the southern Mexico destinations of Zihuatanejo and Tuxtla Gutiérrez, while a new Guadalajara-Puerto Escondido route will round out the list.
The new routes will begin operating during the second half of the year.
Volaris CEO Enrique Beltranena said that the new routes “will contribute to a more united Mexico, one that can enjoy the best benefits: connectivity with no layovers, excellent customer service, punctuality and, above all, the best prices.”
The airline’s pricing manager, Omar Carrera, said the new routes “strengthen the point-to-point business model, allowing more Mexicans to connect in a direct manner, at the lowest prices, with the destinations they are most interested in.”

Advierten sobre daño a manglar en Zipolite por instalación de gasolinera
Published on junio 13, 2018 with No Comments
Ntx. Ecologistas de distintos colectivos advirtieron durante una protesta realizada en la ciudad de Oaxaca, a los gobiernos estatal y municipal, sobre la contaminación que podría sufrir un manglar en Zipolite por la instalación de una gasolinera.
Los manifestantes colocaron frente a las letras turísticas de Oaxaca, ubicadas frente al templo de Santo Domingo de Guzmán, una pancarta en la que exigen al gobernador del estado, Alejandro Murat Hinojosa, intervenir para que el presidente municipal, Víctor Cruz, evite la construcción.
Cabe destacar que el pasado fin de semana, la asociación Piña Palmera denunció ante la Procuraduría Federal de Protección al Ambiente (Profepa), así como a la Secretaría de Medio Ambiente y Recursos Naturales (Semarnat), el potencial daño ecológico.
Asimismo, se presentaron los hechos ante la Defensoría de los Derechos Humanos del Pueblo de Oaxaca (DDHPO), que emitió medidas cautelares.
Al respecto, Nazario García, integrante del Colectivo de Organizaciones Ambientalistas de Oaxaca (COAO), afirmó que la gasolinera que se pretende instalar a 200 metros de un manglar y a 300 metros de las playas de Zipolite, “evidentemente van a dañar el mar”.
A la protesta también se integraron personas que habitan en el Barrio de Xochimilco, quienes denunciaron el derribo de arbolado en la construcción de una tienda de autoservicio.
Esta acción, detallaron, tuvo como contexto la conmemoración por el Día Mundial del Medio Ambiente, por lo que los activistas, entre éstos los de Salvando Vidas Oaxaca, levantaron cartelones para llegar a la conciencia ciudadana.
“La naturaleza cobra la factura del daño que le hagas. Tus hijos y nietos la pagarán”, leyeron.

Official recognition for new turtle species in Puerto Vallarta
Vallarta mud turtle was first discovered 20 years ago
Wednesday, June 13, 2018
A small mud turtle first discovered by residents of Puerto Vallarta 20 years ago was recognized as a new species last month, but now it is also considered one of the most threatened freshwater turtle species in the world.
The distinct looking turtle became known in the Jalisco city as casquito de Vallarta, or little Vallarta helmet, due to the shape of its shell.
Residents alerted experts some 20 years ago about the find, but they decided they were nothing more than juvenile specimens of another species.
But five years ago they gave another look at the diminutive turtle, the results of which were published on May 16 in a study entitled A Distinctive New Species of Mud Turtle from Western México in the journal Chelonian Conservation and Biology.
Studies performed on nine turtle specimens, five of them dead, led by a team of scientists from research institutions in the states of Tabasco, Jalisco, Mexico City, Guanajuato and Veracruz found that the turtle indeed belonged to a new species, Kinosternon vogti.
The Vallarta mud turtle, the largest specimens of which are 10 centimeters long, has only been found in a few human-created or human-affected habitats such as small streams and ponds found only around the resort town of Puerto Vallarta. All of the mud turtle’s currently known habitats have been damaged by urban growth.
Of the four known living specimens only one is a female. It was sent along with a male to a reproduction center in Tabasco, while the two other males remain in Puerto Vallarta.
The five turtles found dead have been deposited in a collection at the National Autonomous University of México, where they will be subject to further studies.
The Chelonian Conservation and Biology paper said “an urgent conservation program is necessary as well as explorations in the area to find viable populations of the species.”
The name of the new turtle species pays homage to Richard Vogt, a herpetologist and turtle conservationist who has studied the reptile for 40 years.

Transport around Puerto Angel
Jun 11, 2018, 10:28 AM
Hi
We're staying in Puerto Angel for a few days in early November and would like to explore the coast and surrounding area. We'd definitely like to visit Mazunte and Zipolite but I think it would also be nice to take a day trip to Puerto Escondido.
What I'd like to know is how easy it is to navigate this area using the camionetas and colectivos? A bit of googling has revealed that from Puerto Angel the camionetas run up to Pochutla rather than west along the coast, so we'd have to change there to get to Mazunte etc. Any advice as to how well served Puerto Angel is by the colectivos would be really helpful.
Thanks!

Colectivos run between P.A. and La Ventanilla including Zipolite, San Agustinillo and Mazunte on the lower road (175). You can take one to San Agustinillo and walk 10 minutes to Mazunte. You might find it's a few short rides with different drivers. Easiest to Puerto Escondido is colectivo to Pochutla and jump on the bus for the main road (200). You can also have a taxi give you a colectivo rate and pick up other fares along the way. Colectivos are not the combis or vans of the east coast. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=heI2iypyJuI
