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.

Mexican Coins
According to the Bank of Mexico there are more than 360 billion pesos in coins and bills in circulation, which works out at about 3,600 pesos for each of the country’s just over 100 million inhabitants. Why then does it seem that no one ever has any change?
¿No tiene cambio? (haven’t you got change?) is an expression you will soon get used to hearing whether it’s in offering up a 50-peso note for a 30-peso cab ride, or a 100-peso note for a 20-peso coffee. And it’s not only at street stalls, outdoor markets, or in taxis. The “no change” response is as frequent at convenience stores and other local shops, restaurants, and even occasionally at the supermarket checkout.
With a large informal economy, most of the country’s daily transactions are paid for in cash. But even in the formal economy, cash is the preferred method of payment. Bankers estimated last year that of all the transactions conducted with debit cards, nearly 90% were to withdraw cash from ATMs. People prefer using cash, even at filling stations, which by the way are among the best places to get change if you’re stuck with nothing but a 500-peso note, which can be as frustrating as having no cash at all.
With so much currency around, it’s a wonder people can be so reluctant to give change. Some have change, but don’t want to break a large bill for fear it will leave them without change. One infuriating twist: people with notes in the till will at times hand you all your change in coins.
Mexican money is colorful and varied, and the central bank has added to the variety over the years with a number of commemorative series.
In 2000 and 2001, the bank issued about 17 million each of two 20-peso coins – one bearing the image of late Nobel literature prize winning writer and poet Octavio Paz and the other the image of Xiuhtecuhtli, the Azteca god of light and fire. Both are legal tender, although it’s rare to come across them since people prefer to keep them. The Millennium issuance also included about 70 million 10-peso coins bearing the image of the Aztec sun god Tonatiuh.
Last year, some senators asked the central bank to introduce silver coins as legal tender, what with Mexico being the world’s biggest producer of silver. The bank declined for a number of reasons, particularly cost. But the bank has been issuing many commemorative coins in recent years, notably a series of 100-peso coins – one for each of the 32 states, and also issued two commemorative bank notes to mark the centenary and bi-centenary of the country’s revolution and independence, respectively.

Oaxaca Mexico, Colors Galore

Posted: Updated: 
Last week, I spent four amazing days in Oaxaca. It was my first ever trip to this city of 400,000 people -- a city located right in the southern indigenous heartland of Mexico. In contrast with the marathon madness and 95-degree weather that I left behind in LA, Oaxaca welcomed me with mild weather and the soothing splendor of its sprawling landscapes.
2015-03-24-1427238483-9206046-HP_1_Oaxaca_Colors.jpg
I was invited to participate in The Second Triennial Oaxaca Museum Conference, with representatives from a wide variety of museums from Mexico, Venezuela, Chile, Canada and the United States. Director of USC Fisher Museum of Art, Selma Holo, and Director of the University Museum of Contemporary Art in Mexico City, Graciela de la Torre, were the brains behind the whole operation, with additional support and participation from The Alfred Harp Helú Foundation in Oaxaca.
For two days, we discussed a variety of issues that museums are dealing with today. Even more importantly, we talked about what museum leaders have to do today to remap, to recalculate, and to realign their museums for tomorrow. I had the honor of moderating one of the panel discussions, and did my best to push buttons by asking the museum directors naughty questions like: "What kind of major mistakes have you and your institutions committed? If you believe in the wisdom of never letting a crisis go to waste, what invaluable lessons have you learned from them?"
2015-03-24-1427238520-8153723-HP_2_Composite_Oaxaca_Monte_Alban2.jpg
One can spend days exploring the layers of history and culture wrapping Oaxaca in the most colorful and friendly "shawl." Being busy with the conference, we had just a few hours to get to know the city. As an archaeologist by training, I've seen my fair share of ancient ruins, but Monte Albán, at a mountaintop above Oaxaca, is a particularly amazing architectural treasure. The city flourished between 600BC and 800AD. Lucky for us, we went there in the late afternoon, and were virtually the only people at this sprawling vista. I swear, we could hear the mysterious, rumbling echo of the ancient Zapotec tongue weaving ancient and modern stories of its land.
2015-03-24-1427238564-4546326-HP_3_Oaxaca_Rufino_Tamayo_Museum.jpg
There is an interesting variety of small and medium sized museums in the city -- and most of them surprise visitors with not only a good quality collection, but also with an elegance and sophistication of presentation that some major museums can learn from. Rufino Tamayo, the great Mexican artist and one of the most famous sons of Oaxaca, gave to his city the remarkable gift -- a large, important collection of Pre-Columbian ceramics. The collection is exhibited with flair, color, and theatricality, as well as a surprising sense of restraint.
2015-03-24-1427238613-6518779-HP_4_Oaxaca_Alfredo_Harp_Helu_Foundation.jpg
The local craftspeople demonstrated for us their skill -- passed down from generation to generation. After watching a beautiful young woman elaborately weaving colorful threads, I step outside and couldn't help but notice an outdoor plaza as Mother Nature's version of a woven tapestry with climbing plants clinging to high walls and green grass stitched into the elaborate brick pattern on the ground.
2015-03-24-1427238651-3326747-HP_5_Oaxaca_Laurie_Litowitz_Home.jpg
Local artists invited our group to visit their homes. And let me tell you, not many houses in Malibu or Beverly Hills can compete with what we saw there. The architecture, the landscaping, the interior planning -- all show a unique combination of modernity and historical tradition that goes centuries back.
2015-03-24-1427238687-7900121-HP_6_Oaxaca_Sergio_Hernandez_House_2.jpg
And yes, guilty as charged, we ate a lot. After all, Oaxaca is famous for its delicious food. And it was the first time that I drank Mezcal. Boy, it's so damn strong. It makes my Russian vodka, in comparison, taste like a baby's drink...

Do I Need a Visa to Enter Mexico?

Mexico Visa
Whether you need to apply for a visa before traveling to Mexico depends on which country issued your passport, or where you have legal residency, or whether you have APEC business travel privileges.  This article explains who, and who does not, need to apply for a visa before traveling to Mexico.

You do NOT need to apply for a visa before traveling to Mexico if:

1) Your passport is issued by one of the countries on the  ‘exempt’ list and you intend to travel to Mexico for leisure and business trips of 180 days or less; OR
2) If you don’t hold a passport from one of the countries on the ‘exempt’ list, but you do hold a current legal residency permit for the United States, Canada, Japan, the United Kingdom, or any country that is signatory to the European Schengen Area; OR
3) If you don’t qualify under 1 or 2 above, but you do hold a current APEC/ABTCbusiness traveler’s card with pre-clearance approved by Mexico.
You will need to carry your current residency permit or APEC cards with you in addition to your passport in order to be granted entry into Mexico without a formal visa. Note that you must hold legal residency, not a visa or tourist visa to qualify for the exemptions described above.

You DO need to apply for a visa before traveling to Mexico if:

You don’t hold a passport from one of the countries on the ‘exempt’ list, and youdo not hold a legal residency permit in one of the countries listed in 2) above, ordo not have an APEC business travel card as described in 3) above.
If you need to apply for an entry visa before you travel to Mexico you should contact your nearest Mexican Consulate for further information and application details.
You can find detailed information about passport requirements and required permits for visits on our Mexico Entry Requirements guide.
