I lived near Puerto Escondido, Oaxaca, Mexico for over a year. The ocean is breathtaking. The people are warm and welcoming. The culture rich, and the food even better. Don't miss the opportunity to visit the coastal area of Oaxaca, and see Puerto Escondido, too.

I had never heard of the place until I was invited to go for spring break in March. I can ramble on about how much I loved it but I can sum it up by saying that I cant wait to go back.

Think about holidays in the 60's. A great beach, people friendly, not too much to do at night, good restaurants... backpackers from Europe, different beaches each day and... no stress!!

I love escondido! We arrived with bus from San Cristobal and at the bus station a little mexican lady stood and tried to make us her visitor at her house - very cheap. We agreed and went with her, and it turns out she had a great house on a rock with the coolest view right on the Zicatella beach. And it was with a total clean pool outdoor kitchen ...
