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.

Sunday Post: Landscape

It’s not Sunday yet (thanks God, because I am falling behind on my writing projects, and can use any minute of spare time I can get.) But I will gladly participate in this weekly photo challenge from Jakesprinters. This week’s theme is Landscape.
I took these shots during our trip to Huatulco, Mexico. It’s been one of the most picturesque locations I visited, almost like a photographer’s paradise.

Urgent action: Mexican activist Bettina Cruz faces serious false charges

 0 1
 
25 February 2012
Posted by Kirsty Wright, WDM climate campaigner
I have just had news through friends in Mexico that Bettina Cruz Velázquez, an indigenous Mexican activist who WDM has been campaigning with, has been arrested under a serious and ridiculous charge of kidnapping. Please read on to find out what has happened, and how you can take action to support Bettina.
VIDEO: Bettina talks about her struggle against the privatisation of the air by multinational companies and for energy sovereignty, at the Reclaim Power action in the Copenhagen climate summit in 2009.
On Wednesday, February 22 at approximately 4:00pm, Bettina, an indigenous human rights defender and member of the Indigenous Peoples’ Assembly of the Isthmus of Tehuantepec in Defense of the Land and Territory, was arrested as she left a meeting with the Federal Electricity Commission (CFE). She had been there to accompany and monitor the case of a person who had been run over by CFE workers. Bettina is being held in the city of Matias Romero, Oaxaca, under federal charges.
Shortly after the Cancun UN climate talks, I visited Bettina and learnt about her struggle for justice for the people of the Isthmus of Tehuantepec who are resisting the take over of their lands by multinational corporations and fighting against the privatisation of the atmoshpere. WDM’s Power to the People report, released last December, exposed how UK aid money has been used to finance an EDF windfarm project in the area. This project, run through the World Bank, has not only had a terrible impact on the local indigeions people but all the electricity generated does not go to the people who need it, but to the multinational Wall-mart.  
Please read the press release about Bettina’s case, and find out how you can take action below:

PRESS RELEASE – FOR IMMEDIATE DISTRIBUTION – FEBRUARY 22, 2012
Mexican Attorney General (PGR) detains human rights advocate Lucila Bettina Cruz Velázquez in Santa María Xadani, Oaxaca
Mexico City – The Office of the Mexican Attorney General (PGR) detained human rights advocate Lucila Bettina Cruz Velázquez in Santa María Xadani, Isthmus of Tehuantepec, Oaxaca, at 3:30 pm on February 22, 2012. At the time of this press release her whereabouts and the legal charges against her remain unknown. The State of Oaxaca’s Office of the Human Rights Ombudsman granted Ms. Cruz Velázquez precautionary measures on November 14, 2011.
At the time of her detention Ms. Cruz Velázquez was accompanied by attorney Maribel González Pedro. The PGR did allow either of them to read the arrest warrant and the reasons for the arrest are unknown. To date it has been impossible to confirm whether Ms. Cruz Velázquez has been presented before the relevant federal authorities. Hence there are grounds for concern regarding her security and physical integrity.
Ms. Cruz Velázquez is a well‐known indigenous land rights advocate and a founding member of the Assembly of Indigenous Peoples of the Isthmus of Tehuantepec in Defense of Land Rights. The Assembly has accompanied several campaigns to defend the collective rights of indigenous peoples, including an organizing campaign with members of the Zapotec and Ikoots communities resisting wind projects in the region and a campaign with the Zapotec community against inflated electricity bills imposed by the Federal Electricity Commission (CFE). Ms. González Pedro is also a member of the Assembly.
This is not the first time that the PGR has detained a member of the Assembly. On April 12, 2011, Mr. Filiberto Vicente Aquino, leader of the movement against inflated electricity costs, was detained in Xadani and taken to the headquarters of the Mexican Attorney General in Salina Cruz, Oaxaca. Mr. Vicente Aquino was falsely accused of stealing electricity. The detention of Ms. Cruz Velázquez is emblematic of the insecurity facing women human rights advocates and the criminalization of their activities.
Context:
Since last year the Assembly has accompanied the Unión Hidalgo Wind Project Resistance Committee, which consists of small landowners from Unión Hidalgo who oppose the Piedra Larga wind project. In order to address land rights violations and the absence of free, prior and informed consent for indigenous landowners, in May 2011 the Committee requested a dialogue with Desarrollos Eólicos de México, S.A. de C.V. (DEMEX), a subsidiary of the Spanish renewable energy company Renovalia Energy, and the state government of Oaxaca as mediator.
On October 28, 2011, local henchmen and municipal police attacked Ms. Cruz Velázquez and members of the Committee. These violent acts prompted the precautionary measures issued by the Office of the Human Rights Ombudsman of Oaxaca, which aim to protect and guarantee the physical integrity of Ms. Cruz Velázquez and other members of the Committee.
The dialogue to negotiate the early termination of the land lease agreements signed with DEMEX took place on February 8, 2012. That day both parties agreed to convene a second negotiation for Saturday, February 25, with the purpose of hearing the company’s official response to the demand for early termination of the lease agreements.
Demands:
The signatories to this press release make the following demands of the federal Interior Ministry, the Office of the Mexican Attorney General, and the National Human Rights Commission:
• The unconditional and immediate release of human rights advocate Lucila Bettina Cruz Velázquez;
• That measures are taken immediately to guarantee the security and physical integrity of Lucila Bettina Cruz Velázquez, Maribel González Pedro, and the remaining members of the Assembly of Indigenous Peoples of the Isthmus of Tehuantepec in Defense of Land Rights.
Signatories:
• Assembly of Indigenous Peoples of the Isthmus of Tehuantepec in Defense of Land Rights (in Spanish: Asamblea de los Pueblos Indígenas del Istmo de Tehuantepec en Defensa de la Tierra y el Territorio)
• Unión Hidalgo Wind Project Resistance Committee (in Spanish: Comité de Resistencia al Proyecto Eólico de Unión Hidalgo)
• ProDESC (in Spanish: Proyecto de Derechos Económicos, Sociales y Culturales)
• PODER (Project on Organizing, Development, Education, and Research)
Press contact:
• Valeria Scorza / ProDESC, (52‐55) 5212‐2230, valeriaprodesc@gmail.com

TAKE ACTION!Please write to the following officials from federal Interior Ministry, the Office of the Mexican Attorney General, and the National Human Rights Commission to demand:
• The unconditional and immediate release of human rights advocate Lucila Bettina Cruz Velázquez;
• That measures are taken immediately to guarantee the security and physical integrity of Lucila Bettina Cruz Velázquez, Maribel González Pedro, and the remaining members of the Assembly of Indigenous Peoples of the Isthmus of Tehuantepec in Defense of Land Rights.

Punta Placer San Agustinillo

I'm enthusiastic about some feedback about Punta Placer bungalows. I'm going inside the subsequent month with my partner. Does any one possess a preference around the top rated floor rooms more than the underside floor? Also, could it be improved to become inside the rooms closer for the beach location? Any/all feedback about Punta Placer is pretty
