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.

Apple, Aeromexico betting on potential of sleepy Huatulco By Michelle Baran

Apple, Aeromexico betting on potential of sleepy Huatulco

By Michelle Baran

Secrets Huatulco is situated along a quiet cove on the Oaxacan coastline.

HUATULCO, Mexico — This month, Apple Vacations partnered with Aeromexico to charter the first-ever nonstop flight from Los Angeles to the emerging southern Mexico resort area of Huatulco.

The move is part of a larger strategy to develop tourism along this stretch of Oaxacan coast at a sustainable pace.

"We would love to see more development, but in a very controlled way," said Mark Noennig, Apple Vacations vice president and general manager.

Noennig said Huatulco, which is much less developed than the popular Mexican resort areas of Cancun, Riviera Maya, Yucatan, Baja and Acapulco, "is a more authentically Mexican destination offering beautiful scenery," with ocean and mountain backdrops and "more laid-back than other resorts."

Huatulco was established as a resort development area by the Mexican government in the 1980s.

But unlike some of Mexico's densely developed areas, this stretch of coastline has developed slowly, giving it a quieter, more detached feel.

It has also been developed with an eye toward environmental preservation of its rich, hilly jungles that end in rocky cliffs and sandy beaches along the Pacific Ocean.

The challenge is maintaining what differentiates this place from other Mexico beach areas while continuing to increase tourism, which has become the dominant industry in this sleepy corner of southwestern Mexico.

For now, Huatulco presents greater value than other Mexico resort towns, Noenning said, in part because there is less airlift, meaning hotels in Huatulco are more aggressive with their rates.

Apple Vacations is committed to finding the right supply-and-demand balance.

Huatulco has only a handful of larger resorts — Dreams Huatulco Resort & Spa, Hotel Barcelo Huatulco, Quinta Real Huatulco and Camino Real Zaashila Huatulco — in addition to smaller boutique hotels and vacation condos and villas.

A year ago, a new Secrets Huatulco Resort & Spa opened, helping to boost capacity and giving Apple the incentive to create the Los Angeles charter. (Apple Vacations' parent company, Apple Leisure Group, also owns AMResorts, which owns the Secrets and Dreams resort properties.)

For the slower summer season, Apple has contracted a partial charter with Aeromexico for a weekly Los Angeles-Huatulco flight that runs from June 7 to Aug. 9, joining direct flights from Chicago and St. Louis. This winter, Apple will fly here from Chicago, Minneapolis and St. Louis.

To further develop, Huatulco needs more resort properties and more and fuller flights arriving, but almost everyone in the trade here agrees that growth should be slow and steady.

A property manager for My Huatulco Vacation, a company that manages and rents vacation homes and villas here, said she was happy that, for instance, there are restrictions on how tall resorts can be — something that keeps the coastline from looking like the string of hotel towers that other popular Mexico beach destinations have become.

That said, "the biggest issue preventing aggressive risk expansion to Huatulco is the limited number of available hotel rooms," Noennig said. But, he cautioned that "Huatulco does not need 20 or 30 more resorts but rather a handful of new hotels from popular brands [that] would boost demand even more."

Ultimately, Apple would like to make Huatulco a year-round destination.

Indigenous gays celebrate traditions in Mexico

In this June 29, 2013 photo, a person known as a muxe, center, poses for a photo at a party in Mexico City. Zapotec indigenous homosexual men known as muxes gathered last weekend for a "vela," as community parties are called in the Zapotec city of Juchitan in the southern state of Oaxaca, to share their traditions with people in the Mexican capital. According to anthropological studies, some women in Juchitan encourage sons' muxe leanings because they tend to stay home and care for their parents rather than getting married.

MEXICO CITY Wearing a long skirt, headdress and loose blouse embroidered with bright flowers, Mariana de la Noche road on a float in Mexico City's recent gay pride parade. The float was for "muxes," Zapotec indigenous men who dress and behave in ways associated with women.

The 33-year-old restaurant cook was picked as queen of the "muxes" (pronounced MOO-shays) living in Mexico City, where for the first time Saturday they celebrated a "vela," as community parties are known in their hometown of Juchitan, a city of Zapotecs in the southern state of Oaxaca.

Gay men, transvestites and transgender people are generally accepted in Juchitan and often work as home helpers, embroiderers, decorators, cooks and entertainers.

Like Mariana, most of the muxes at her crowning wore Tehuana dresses from the Juchitan area, popularized around the world by Mexican artist Friday Kahlo, along with the region's traditional large gold earrings and necklaces and "resplandor," headdresses made from a starched veil worn around the face like a halo.

It was a party to have fun but also an opportunity to reaffirm the muxes' presence in the capital and celebrate their traditions from back home, said David Kelvin, who organized the event.

"We want to bring the party here, but through the party we want to have a (message) about exercising our rights, of respect, of dignity, of culture," Kelvin said.

The contact between muxes and the gay men from Mexico City has led to the fusion of urban and indigenous cultures, said Kelvin. The gathering was important "to rescue our culture, to rescue who we are and show the rest of the people in this city how we live our sexuality, how we exercise our rights," he said.

According to anthropological studies, some women in Juchitan encourage sons' muxe leanings because they tend to stay home and care for their parents rather than get married.

"Muxes are a blessing from God because they look after you when you are sick more than a woman would," said Vicenta Toledo, who attended the party with her gay son. "They are a very important part of life."
