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.

Travel Tip: How To Get The Best Flight Prices Possible

Does this always happen to you?  You think you got a good deal on your flight, but then you find out that someone else got a cheaper flight than you.  If you are wondering how to get the best flight prices, this article shows you how to find the cheapest flights so that you can have money to spend on the rest of your vacation.  Just follow these tips, and you will be the one bragging about having found the cheapest ticket.

How To Get The Best Flight Prices:

1.  Sign up for fare alert newsletters.  

Many travel websites offer a newsletter, so they can alert you to the destinations that are on sale.  I sign up for as many of these as I can.  If you are flexible about where to go on your next vacation, you will save money if you pick your next destination based on what area is on sale. I once booked a round-trip ticket to Belize for $300 from Portland, OR because I found out about the discount through a newsletter. You will sometimes receive promo codes that you can use for discounts in these newsletters, too.

2.  Be flexible with your travel dates.

Airlines tend to offer the best travel deals in January and February.  Most people are tired of traveling after the holiday season, so airlines tend to drop their ticket prices during this time.  This is the perfect time to book your tropical vacation getaway.  Also, keep in mind thatTuesdayWednesday, and Saturday are usually the cheapest days to fly.  Tuesday and Wednesday tends to be the best days to buy your airline tickets because these are usually the days that discounted flights are posted on the websites.

3.  Follow travel websites on social media.

Some travel discounts only last for 24 hours.  The best way to make sure that you don't miss these travel discounts is to follow travel booking sites on Facebook and Twitter.  Then, you are sure not to miss out on the best travel deals.

4.  Use travel booking websites rather than trying to search each airline's fares individually.

You will wind up exhausting yourself if you try to look up each airline on its own.  Plus, sometimes travel booking websites offer discounts that you won't get by booking directly through the airlines.

5.  Sign up for frequent flier programs.

Signing up for frequent fliers is easy and costs nothing.  There is no reason not to take advantage of the miles you accumulate by flying to use for free or discounted flights later. I am about to fly to Europe for free from miles that I have accumulated.  And the first time that I signed up for United's frequent flier program, they upgraded me to first class when I was flying to the Dominican Republic just because I was a frequent flier!  Also, many airlines have travel apps that you can now install on your phone which are great for letting you know who is having the latest sale.

Now that you know how to get the best flight prices, where are you planning on going?   Comment below and let me know!

Toluca bikers gear up to pedal to Acapulco Category: Living Published on Friday, 04 October 2013 01:10 BY TED CAMPBELL

Toluca bikers gear up to pedal to Acapulco

BY TED CAMPBELL
Special to The News
For the second straight year, a group of 70 bicyclists are slated to ride from Toluca to Acapulco in a grueling, one-day, 390-kilometer trek on Friday, Oct. 11.
The group, known as the Escarabajos Toluca (Toluca Beetles) Cycling Club, will depart from downtown Toluca at about 5 a.m. Friday and arrive in Acapulco between 10 p.m. and midnight later that night.
The Acapulco Bike (Aca Bike) trek constitutes the biggest challenge of the year for the Escarabajos, according to the event’s organizer, Luis “El Gallo” Hernández.
“Aca Bike isn’t a competition, but a personal challenge, with each one of the participants striving to complete the most kilometers and stay on their bicycles as long as possible,” Hernández told The News last month.
Hernández went on to explain that six support vehicles with two staff members each will follow the riders, carrying water, fruit and bicycle repair tools.
Equiped with bike racks and caution signs, a caravan of trucks and passenger vans will also provide transportation for exhausted cyclists and broken bicycles.
Last year, 67 participants from Toluca, Mexico City and elsewhere in central Mexico participated in Aca Bike.
Many of those riders – male and female, athletes and enthusiasts, teenagers and retirees – are set to return this year.
Javier Suárez, a student and bicycle mechanic, started mountain biking two years ago at Sierra Morelos Park near his home in Toluca.
He said that Aca Bike 2012 was “the greatest challenge I’ve ever done, as well as the most fun.”
“I’d love to do it every year,” he added.
“Bicycles are my passion, and in this ride I can test my stamina to the maximum.”
While most riders agree that the hardest part of the trek is the long uphill highway to Taxco in the mountains of Guerrero state, Suárez said that crossing from Iguala to Chilpancingo (100 kilometers from Acapulco), presented his biggest challenge, “not because of the terrain, but the heat.”
“The whole ride was fun, but especially when we got to the tunnel in Acapulco,” he said.
“Everyone was cheering and going crazy. Then there was another downhill and we arrived at the statue of Diana in downtown Acapulco.”
For Victor Sosa, an agronomist from Metepec, last year’s ride was both a physical and mental trial.
“You have to be physically and mentally prepared,” he said.
Sosa had knee-replacement surgery seven years ago, so the Aca Bike trek was particularly demanding for him.
“I can’t run or participate in long-distance races like marathons,” he said. “So I started mountain biking five years ago. This ride is a great challenge against myself. It’s also a great life lesson for my two children. They are younger and in better physical condition than me, but they don’t exercise.”
Like Suárez and Sosa, many participants are mountains bikers who have since picked up road riding.
In fact, Escarabajos Toluca, founded by Hernández, began as a mountain-biking club, exploring trails in the wilderness around Toluca, such as the massive, extinct Xinantecatl volcano.
“I began mountain biking in 2000, and from then on it has been total discipline,” said Hernández, who in addition to his day job at Petróleos Mexicanos (Pemex) also owns a bike shop and offers spinning classes twice a week.
“It was a way to test my will and fighting spirit.”
In 2010, Hernández and his friends attached reflectors and flashing lights to their mountain bikes and met on Thursday nights in the center square of Toluca to take night rides through the city, passing through nearby mountains and small towns.
Now Jueves de Bici (Bicycle Thursdays) attracts between 10 and 30 participants each week and has police escorts on motorcycles and ATVs.
ACA Bike is one of many regular road rides organized by Hernández and friendly groups like Ciclismo Para Todos (Cycling for All) from Mexico City, including twice-yearly rides from Mexico City to Toluca across the Marquesa mountain range and 100- to 150-kilometer trips to places like Villa Victoria, Cuernavaca and Taxco.

Huatulco: Mexico’s most pristine coastline By Colleen Besman

Huatulco: Mexico’s most pristine coastline

By Colleen Besman
Huatulco
The Pacific Ocean along the Oaxaca coastline laps the shores of Huatulco’s 36 stunning beaches, spread across nine bays boasting warm waters and golden sands. In these bays live the most important coral communities of the Mexican Pacific. More than 700 species of animals live in the Parque Nacional (National Park) Huatulco, including numerous species of colorful fish. The park provides opportunities for snorkeling, bird-watching and hiking. Its biodiversity and pristine landscapes make Huatulco a favorite destination for nature lovers.
Trip to Huatulco
Audubon Eco Journeys
Dec 6-11
viajesconaudubon@gmail.com
or by phone at 415 152-3644
The park, a protected area, was created in 1998. It contains 6,375 hectares of lowland jungle and 5,516 hectares of marine areas, encompassing four of Huatulco’s bays. Members of the tour will sail in a private yacht to view and enjoy the coastline. The bays are calm and clear in early December, allowing for excellent snorkeling. There are no sharks in these waters, so the snorkeling will be carefree.
The tour will include a visit to Rio Copalita, which forms the western border of Huatulco. It is the largest river in the region and has paths for hiking and enjoying its extensive bird life with an expert guide.
La Crucecita is a small community located just a few minutes drive inland from Santa Cruz, the town on the main bay for this region. Although it is a new town, it has developed the feel of an authentic small Mexican village, but with many restaurants and interesting shops.
The Hagia Sofia is an agro-ecological development of more than 130 hectares in the hills above the ocean. Here there will be an opportunity to see different phases of the cultivation of fruit, vegetables and timber, as well as to observe a great diversity of flora and wildlife.
In 2005, Huatulco was awarded the Green Globe International Certification as a sustainable tourist area, and in 2010 Huatulco received an Earth Check Gold Certification; it is the only destination in the Americas to achieve this distinction.
Join Audubon Eco Journeys for an inside look at Huatulco’s pristine beaches, abundant forests, and diverse wildlife. Travel with a small group in comfort with knowledgeable guides, and enjoy visiting this remarkable seldom-visited area of Mexico.
The price of the trip, US$1,325 (a little less for Audubon members), does not include air fare, for which participants must make their own arrangements; however, there will be a van leaving San Miguel for the Mexico City airport at 7am on December 6 to catch a 2:35pm flight to Huatulco.

Reservations and full payment have been requested by October 21. Colleen Besman can be contacted for reservations at viajesconaudubon@gmail.com or by phone at 415 152-3644. Full details of the trip can be found at www.travelian.com.mx/huatulco.

PUERTO ESCONDIDO AND MAZUNTE

IMG_8530
The road from Oaxaca to Puerto Escondido is a windy eight-hour trip over a mountain pass in a mini van, locally referred to as the Vomit Comet. It’s so bad that people consider taking an overnight bus or a plane to avoid that road.  Arriving in the evening, having survived the turns and churns,  I went straight to my room and hit the hay.
I stayed in a rustic ramshackle of a hostel on the far side of the main beach called Zicatela. The suburb was called La Punta, which literally means, The Point. The surf break on La Punta is famous amongst local and international surfers alike. As it appeared to me walking down to the beach that first morning, the general vibe that permeated from the surfers was like a Mexican version of Point Break. Bronzed guys riding scooters, surfboards slung across bare torsos, over emphasised knuckle-smash greetings, hands flicking long hair in the air, bright sunglasses and a particular type of slow groove walk. Puerto Escondidio felt like being on a surf movie set, staring local Mexicans and countless cameos by board-short wearing gringos.
Following the advice of the hostel owner I took a collectivo to the market for lunch. Collectivos are essentially taxis that run a certain rout and will pick up and drop off people on its way, squeezing in more passengers than seats. The etiquette is three passengers riding in the back, and two up front with the driver. And yes, my first thought was to avoid the front seat, to dodge taking a trip squeezed between two sweaty men and a hand break.
While I waited for the collectivo, I befriended a 40-year old woman who was heading in the same direction. We got talking, she quickly asked me how many kids I had – none. She asked me where my wife was – I don’t have one. She looked confused, then said that only ugly guys aren’t married.  Somewhat befuddled,  I switched the topic back to the food at the market.
As we left the collectivo the lady walked me over to the restaurant section of the market, went up to her favourite kitchen and ordered me her favourite dish, telling me I would love it. It was a dish I had tried before, the one and only dish in Mexican cuisine I can’t handle. Essentially it’s a spicy soup with slimy gelatinous pieces of pork fat throughout. I like spice, but it is pork jelly floaters that make me heave. Trying to be the polite, ‘culturally sensitive’ traveller, I forcibly slurped it down, aided by big washes of beer. Until I figure out the name of this dish, I am sure I will have it again.
Following my local culinary delight, I headed down to the populated end of Zicatela and walked along the beach with my feet in the water. Along the beach there were red flags warning of the danger of swimming, even translating the international colour of red for danger into written English for the tourists. I’m no surfer, hence only dipping my toes in the water, but it was easy to see that there was a strong rip.
I spent a few more days in Puerto Escondido, and ended up hanging out with two travellers, Luca (Italy) and Kevin (France). While they both spoke a bit of English, Spanish was their preferred common language. I decided to follow them down to Mazunte, an even smaller fishing town roughly an hour south of Puerto Escondido.
IMG_8552
IMG_8546
The main beach in Mazunte is a small bay that is overlooked by a bar and a few hotels. I can only say that it could be a peaceful location, except that when I was there the locals had set up a PA that was blasting cheesy Mexican music across the bay. To be fair, I was there during their annual fishing festival.
IMG_8565
That evening, I slept in a small beachside bungalow. There where lots of chatty Spanish speaking travellers and the hostel was run by a German mum and daughter team who were your enviro- new-age types. The atmosphere was nice, the food was great, but the beachside bungalows where not as cute as they sound. During the night I didn’t get much sleep, it was more like hiding under a hot sandy mosquito net.
Prior to leaving I had read up about any dangers of Puerto Escondido and the surrounding coastline. I found many articles on Puerto Escondido, which basically pointed to the undertow as being the big killer. However, I stumbled upon one CNN article, stating Puerto Escondido was the crossroads of drug trafficking for the Zetas gang, a group that indiscriminately behead other gangs and civilians alike. But in reality, Puerto Escondido is a relatively peaceful and quiet town by Mexican standards. While Puerto Escondido may not be so hidden anymore, it still retains a sense of authenticity. l’m sure the surfers are thanking CNN for keeping people off their waves.
IMG_8529
Leaving Mexico
In total, I spent about three and half weeks in Mexico. I had decided to leave as I had booked myself into a CELTA course in Thailand and the idea of travelling south through Central America seemed a bit of a squeeze. It had dawned on me in Mexico, that while I loved travelling, the money wouldn’t last forever and I had to do some proactive steps to avoid ending up selling quesadillas on the corner.
The highway north to Mexico City was a stark reminder of the troubles Mexico is facing with the drug war. As cocaine is taken up to the northern border, there are certain checkpoints where army officials with their large guns stop and search cars. As I took in this  war zone  scene, I realised I hadn’t actually observed the face of the drug cartels in any of the places I had been to in Mexico. Only the military and the their guns, which made you feel like the baddies were nearby. Oaxaca is not like other places I have visited, such as parts of Europe, where it is common for the dealers’ advertising jingle to be a rendition of the Queen’s of the Stone Age’s ‘Feel Good Hit of the Summer’ –  Nicotine, Valium, Vicotdin, Marijuana, Ecstasy, Alcohol, Cocaine. Not to say there isn’t significant conflict in the north of the country, but I can’t say the sight of soldiers and their firepower made me feel any safer in Mexico.
IMG_8588
At some point during my time in Mexico I wrote the following lyrics. Something I do from time to time, hoping they will inspire some vocals out of a friend of mine. While it wasn’t meant to be about Mexico, reading back I think I couldn’t help but be influenced by my surrounds.
Collarless
Untied and free
Stray dog
Learns a wild walk.
Mother of the Children
Power and pride
Blind, open and armed.
Young hound
Climbed a mountain
saw it green
Stole an axe
drove it down.
Tribal chief
Born to raise
The civil
enchained.
Doctor left to his Office
Hands to the ceiling
Sews his mouth
From the 6th floor.
Children scrounge the street
As the mother of the tower
ties her nooses
The chief bangs the drums
Paper gun to head
the doctor prescribes it all
Leaves the man of the hour
Alone to wrestle
In the Isle of Power

Discovering Music on the Road

I met the same dying man twice once summer in two different places in Mexico – once in Merida on the Yucatan peninsula (near Cancun) and a week later in San Cristobal de las Casas in the deep Mexican south.
He was a tall, white-haired old man with strong dark eyes and a gaunt, bony face. I can’t remember his name. I thought I had written it down in my notebook, but now I’m not so sure. Maybe I figured I would never forget it.
He was European – from Belgium, I believe – and spoke good English and basic Spanish. He dressed how a hippy traveler in his twenties might: baggy pants, loose shirts, small knitted hats and imitation Birkenstocks. Lots of well-worn layers in earth tones. But he was old and looked it. He was much too thin. He had cancer.

Travel 8 kms to Puerto Angel.  3) Once in Puerto Angel you will make a left turn at the white ‘Capitania Puerto Angel’ sign and start to travel up the mountainous trail.  4) Hang a right at the first corner and follow around the stone wall. 5) Turn left at the fork in the road and continue up the hill.  6)  Take your next right at the next fork in the road.  The road will become gravel at this point. 7) Finally a left at the next fork.  Follow this around the house on the right and then the sharp cliff on the right until you reach the Viewpoint gate.  The security guard will be there to let you in.  There is also a bell you can ring should security be away doing their rounds. Sounds simple enough! Please follow the signs and the google map below.
Here is a video showing how to get here from Huatulco by vehicle.  

Getting Around

The taxi has to be the easiest and most cost effective way to get around. There are so many taxis that you don’t have to worry about going to a taxi stand. Simply standing at the side of the road where you are and waiving for a taxi should be sufficient…and you won’t have to wait long. All taxi rates are set in advance based on distance and most local trips should cost you anywhere between $20-$50 pesos. Once you start to stray outside the immediate town expect to barter with your driver on the cost to take you to a destination.

Rental Car Locations

  • Oaxaca Car Rental – their prices tend to be a little less expensive and they are willing to work long term rentals deals if you are down for a longer period of time. Their cars have always been clean, run well, and they have never been late for an appointment or blown a rental deal. For reservations please contact Patricio Hernandez at 958 581 0293 or email him at: reservaciones@oaxacacarrental.com.mx.  You can also visit www.oaxacacarrental.com.mx.  Their address is: Blvd. Benito Juarez s/n, Local 5, Bahia de Tangolunda
  • Hertz – certainly a well know rental company, they have friendly English speaking staff. Their rates are less expensive however I would like to see the company pay a little more attention to detail and the condition of their vehicles. It is certainly an option but I would consider it a second option.  Please contact Angeles Monterrubio  at: 958 103 5396 or email: amonterrubio@avasa.com.mx Blvd.  The address is: Benito Juarez Num.8, Local 1 Int.
  • Europcar – located at the Crown Pacific Bahia de Tangolunda, this is another option.  While I have never personally used them I do hear mixed reviews on their vehicles and service. Please, let me know what you think…www.europcar.com.mx

Suburban

Expect to pay a little more for this service in exchange for total flexibility of your schedule. If you wanted to make a day of going from Huatulco to Puerto Escondido you could expect to pay somewhere around $150 USD for this service. I have drivers that I have used in the past so best to contact me for arrangements.

Bus

There are really multiple levels of buses along the entire coastline but the one that most people will be interested in are the trans-regional buses. The Ado station in Huatulco is the launching point for your journeys to the east or west of Huatulco. These buses are usually very clean with comfortable seats and are consistent with what we would have in Canada or the United States. The fees are very reasonable, and if you don’t mind a couple of extra stops before you reach your ultimate destination, then this is a great way to do it on the cheap. A bus from Huatulco to Puerto Escondido will set you back about $80 pesos.
