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.

A look at Mazunte, San Agustinillo and the window, Oaxaca


On this route along the beaches of Oaxaca there is a place called Mazunte, a magical place of night and day, men and women, mostly tourists, like sunbathing, diving, walking, reading, talking, etc.. Despite being a small town and have few facilities, those who are here are very entertaining and allow the tourist delight the eye with a view to the sea.

Also, here is the Mexican Turtle Center, where you can see turtles of all kinds and where scientists conduct research to increase knowledge about the biology of turtles.  http://www.puertoangel.net/mazunte / tortuga_es.html



Walking through this place, the manager of a crafts store told me about a bar, which could not miss and where I observed that is much visited by tourists, especially those who like reggae, as a group of musicians playing This genre of music made ​​their debut, delighting all present with this type of music and where a young American origin sings in English and Spanish, so after a few good songs all present are encouraged to dance and sing.Finally, the band said goodbye and left behind all started dancing cumbias and music they played at the site, which is run by two people, who by his speech, seemed a Chilean or Argentine. 've also counting, that this place is smoked much marijuana, and as a young man from Italy, I met here told me that everyone here and also consume all the selling.Besides that, this place was very good to meet all kinds of people here are mixed different cultures and travel talk and hear stories of all kinds.


The next day, my companion and I visited San Agustinillo beach, located 10 minutes from Mazunte, which can be reached by a community pickup that charges 5 pesos. This beautiful beach can be done very comfortably a photoshoot both personal and landscape, has magnificent rocks and excellent light cubes for multiple shots, also the color of the sea is very clean and crystalline blue, and you can see some small fish species.
In this site, we met a Chilean-born tourist, she was traveling alone and had around 35 years, told us that she practiced diving in this place and he could see a variety of marine species such as turtles, puffer fish and other fish. He said he loves Mexico and have visited a variety of places, such as Baja California, where he could see close to whales also invited us to visit his country said there tourists can swim with whales. On the other hand, this foreign visitor made ​​some recommendations to visit a place called 'The Window' which is a mangrove area, where you can see alligators, turtles and birds in their natural habitat, which we went to earlier in the day following. Like San Agustinillo Mazunte, is 15 minutes after taking the van collective charges 5 pesos, then you have to walk for about 10 minutes.


'The Window' is run by a cooperative of fishermen engaged in boat tourist walks around the place, however, it is necessary to walk along the beach, which is an extremely hot climate, which use sea turtles to lay their eggs and where the fishermen rescue these eggs so that later they can release the turtles. Under bright sunshine and after walking on that lonely beach, the boats arrived to watch a couple of crocodiles and various species of birds and turtles. At last, we came to a small room where workers have a small stock of animals that have been rescued in this place, like foxes, monkeys and others. Following this visit, the tour was completed by the beaches of this state and we address Pochutla to purchase some products or souvenirs, but what we found was food like grilled fish, then went to a church, which had a bell that had a perfect view to take more pictures. So this trip is over Oaxaca, with wonderful places, accessible accommodation, economical and practical transportation, and a myriad of people to meet.

Hola.
There is also a bicycle store on Calle Carrizal (in La Crucecita) near to the HCBC Bank and the bicycle shop may also have some air to spare.
Hope this helps. Your questions are always welcome.

How about bringing a step pump?? The pool at VB is on the small side, and shallow to boot. If you opt to hang around the hotel during the day, chances are the pool is yours.. Most folks are up early, skedaddling to one of the many beaches to lounge the day away.
If the step pump is not an option, and you're not in a hurry.. I'm sure one of the staff will track down what you need... VB's staff are exception!! It may take a day at the most!

If you are talking about an individual air mattress that you buy at a dollar store then I agree with Waldo. If you are bringing your water bed mattress, then thats a different story..lol
