Coast: Oaxaca Coast

The Oaxaca Coast is a unique coastal corridor where the imposing Sierra Madre del Sur falls directly onto the Pacific Ocean. This stretch of coast offers a great diversity of experiences: from the legendary and tubular waves of Zicatela in Puerto Escondido and the bohemian atmosphere of magical river towns such as Mazunte and Zipolite, to the protected and crystalline ecological bays of Huatulco, all impregnated by the rich culture and traditional Oaxacan gastronomy.
