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.

Oaxaca-Veracruz highway blockade now in its tenth day

Citizens demand payment of money owed by municipality, accuse mayor of embezzlement

Long lines of trucks waiting on a highway is not a picture exclusive to the northern border.
A political conflict that led to a blockade 10 days ago by an estimated 1,200 citizens of San Juan Mazatlán, Oaxaca, continues to this day on federal highway No. 185, linking Oaxaca and Veracruz.
Residents of at least 16 municipal agencies within San Juan, which is in the north of the Isthmus of Tehuantepec, are demanding the payment of 29 million pesos (US $1.5 million) in funds allocated by the municipality, but the latter has declared it doesn’t have the cash.
Protesters have accused San Juan Mayor Macario Eleuterio Jiménez of embezzlement.
The newspaper Milenio reported that the blockade, located near the community of Boca del Monte, has cost businesses millions of pesos in losses.

Boca del Monte
Trucks carrying perishable goods, fuel and cash have been stranded for the duration of the protest, effectively bringing commercial activity in the region to a halt, and severely affecting trade between Oaxaca and Veracruz.
The movement of private citizens has also been affected, and there have been reports of delivery trucks and private vehicles being set on fire.
Other reports say that protesters have been charging pedestrians if they wish to pass through the blockade.
The Oaxaca government has sent riot police to San Juan Mazatlán, who told reporters that they are only waiting for an order to disband the protest and open the road.
But the state said today it would not use police to break up the protest.

PRESS RELEASE: Transierra Norte

We are psyched to announce that Transierra Norte - Day Of The Dead Enduro is coming back for its third edition with many surprises in store. Coming soon October 30th - November 3rd, 2019.

A multi-day and blind Enduro race taking place in the Northern mountain system of Oaxaca Mexico that delivers a great mixture of culture, local traditions, an amazing culinary experience and a great variety of terrain to race on. Racers are settled at 1900 meters over the sea level in shared cabins up on the mountains where the party starts every day to race 3-5 timed stages.

In the last 2 years, experienced riders from more than 10 different nationalities have tested the Mexican soil and party while we celebrate life riding bikes on some of the most authentic tracks out there. Most trails have existed for hundreds of years, used by communities to exchange goods and services such as food, water and other resources carried by donkeys. Today we work along with the local communities to make these gems a paradise for mountain bikers and to share them with one of the biggest Mexican festivities which is the "Day of the Dead".

A perfect race to wrap the racing season full of GOOD TIMES, people to meet and experiences to live. Let the Mexican riding take you to the limits of an overall lifetime mountain bike experience.

This year we will surprise competitors with new trails full of amazing dirt, rocky sections, tight and loose corners and more than 1000 m of elevation loss. The race is mostly assisted by our Mexican shuttle trucks with some pedal transfers inside of a magic forest with stunning views, aid stations, and mechanical support.

It hasn’t erupted in 37 years but Chiapas volcano considered high risk El Popo is not the only dangerous volcano in Mexico

It hasn’t erupted in 37 years but Chiapas volcano considered high risk

El Popo is not the only dangerous volcano in Mexico

The central Mexico volcano Popocatépetl has been hogging the headlinesrecently, but experts warn that a second volcano also poses a high risk, this one in Chiapas.
Located in the northwestern part of the state, the Chichonal volcano lies in a mountainous region between the municipalities of Francisco León and Chapultenango.
It is just 75 kilometers from the cities of San Cristóbal de las Casas and Villahermosa, the capital of the neighboring state of Tabasco.
There was a major eruption of the volcano in 1982, which left a crater a kilometer across and more than 200 meters deep, and a lake of acidic water.

Chichonal
Yesterday, the Civil Protection office announced that it will start reinforcing its security protocols in five municipalities surrounding Chichonal.
The agency said that given the possible eventuality of seismic and volcanic activity, the surveillance and monitoring of Chichonal should be a priority.
The agency announced that it will soon start to organize drills so citizens know what to do if there is an eruption.
