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.

MAGIC WATERFALLS

CASCADAS MÁGICAS
Situées à environ 2h00 de Zipolite, (a 1h15 de Huatulco) dans la communauté de San Miguel del Puerto au milieu d'importantes plantations de café. La rivière Copalita alimente l'affluent qui traverse la jungle et forme les “cascades magiques”.
La section que nous avons explorer nous offrait la possibilité de nager dans huit piscines naturelles d’eau turquoise, cristalline et rafraîchissante, suffisamment profondes pour plonger depuis les rochers ou s’élancer sur des “cordes à Tarzan”.
Les lagons sont réunis par de magnifiques cascades naturelles, entourées d'une végétation épaisse et d'abondantes et d’oiseaux colorés.
Nous avons escaladé les dernières cascades en nous agrippant à une corde donnant accès à deux grottes et aux derniers lagons.
Une autre journée mémorable à conserver précieusement dans parmi nos meilleurs souvenirs de voyage.
MAGIC WATERFALLS
Located at about 2:00 from Zipolite, (1:15 from Huatulco) in the community of San Miguel del Puerto amidst important coffee plantations. The Copalita River feeds the flow that crosses the jungle and forms the "magical waterfalls".
The section we explored offered us the possibility to swim in eight natural pools of turquoise, crystal clear and refreshing water, deep enough to dive from the rocks or jump on “ropes in Tarzan”.
The lagoons are brought together by beautiful natural waterfalls, surrounded by thick vegetation and colorful birds.
We climbed the last waterfalls by clinging to a rope giving access to two caves and the last lagoons.
Another memorable day to treasure among our best travel memories.
