State of Oaxaca (South Pacific 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.
Zicatela Beach, the international mecca of big wave surfing in Puerto Escondido.
Punta Cometa (Mazunte), a mountain jutting out to the sea considered a pre-Hispanic ceremonial center and a natural observatory for whales and sunsets.
Huatulco Bays, a system of nine bays and dozens of sheltered beaches ideal for snorkeling and sailing.
La Ventanilla, a protected mangrove lagoon where you can spot crocodiles, exotic birds and turtles in their natural habitat.
Carrizalillo Beach, a beautiful protected cove with turquoise waters in Puerto Escondido ideal for swimming and learning to surf.
