Puerto Escondido Travel Blogs

Background: The site of advanced Amerindian civilizations, Mexico came under Spanish rule for three centuries before achieving independence early in the 19th century. A devaluation of the peso in late 1994 threw Mexico into economic turmoil, triggering the worst recession in over half a century. The nation continues to make an impressive recovery. Ongoing economic and social concerns include low real wages, underemployment for a large segment of the population, inequitable income distribution, and few advancement opportunities for the largely Amerindian population in the impoverished southern states. Elections held in July 2000 marked the first time since the 1910 Mexican Revolution that the opposition defeated the party in government, the Institutional Revolutionary Party (PRI). Vicente FOX of the National Action Party (PAN) was sworn in on 1 December 2000 as the first chief executive elected in free and fair elections.

Hej folkens. Vi har virkelig oplevet meget siden sidst. Vi vil proeve at give en kort vaersion, men den bliver nok lang alligevel. Foerst og fremmest var vi paa 2 spaendende ture i Oaxaca, hvor vi selvfoelgelig saa flere ruiner!! Hvis du paa nuvaerende tidspunkt er traet af ruiner og gamle indianere, saa skal du springe naeste afsnit over. Vi besoegte et rigtig stort og flot omraade, som var blevet forladt da spanierne kom, og derfor fandt de det ikke med det samme og foelte ikke den store trang til at oedelaegge det og bygge en kirke. Derfor er hele den [View Full Entry]

Weiter ging es dann zum Pazifik Hier habe ich ein paar wunderschoene Tage am Strand verbracht sowie eine Lagune besucht. Dieser Besuch fiel etwas problematisch aus. Ich war mit zwei deutschen Maedels unterwegs und wir haben die falsche Haltestelle genommen, so dass wir ein ganzes Stueck zu laufen hatten, um dann festzustellen, dass der Weg an einem Fluss endet. Nun ja, nach ein wenig Wartezeit kam eine Einheimische mit einem Kanu, die uns auf die andere Seite gebracht hat. Dort war dann das PARADIES! Ein ganz einsamer Strand. Hier wohnen zirka 10 Menschen, unter anderem die Frau, die un [View Full Entry]

Puerto Escondido is a small surfing town on the Pacific coast. We had an amazing room with an ocean view and private balcony (quite an improvement from most of our living arrangements). I spent these few days reading and relaxing while Dana surfed the world-renowned, Mexican Pipeline. For a 2 day side trip we went to Chacawa, a very isolated village of <100 people reached by bus, taxi, boat, then truck. We stayed in a little wood shack close to a surf break and Dana spent his time out surfing again while I chilled in a hammock. All of a sudden [View Full Entry]

Tirsdag morgen gik jeg i gang med at tage et dykkercertifikat. Vi startede med nogle timers teori, hvor Signe også var med, selvom hun allerede har et certifikat. Hun ville gerne lige have genopfrisket lidt af det. Vi lærte en masse om hvordan man monterer udstyret osv. Efter nogle timers teori blev jeg smidt ud i det, og vi sejlede et et lille stykke ud med en båd, og så var det ellers bare at hoppe i. Derefter fulgte vi ankertorvet sammen med en instruktør ned til bunden, som var ca. 12 meter nede, hvorefter vi lavede forskellige øvelser, blandt andet [View Full Entry]

I´ve just got back from a brilliant way to wake up - a breezy boat trip to see the local dolphins. Despite both feeling pretty incredibly sleepy having got up before sunrise for once, we still managed to enjoy the morning, and arrived to see the sun coming up somewhere inland, casting a purpley haze over the beach, where ten or so men were pushing fiswhing boats into the water. We were chatting to a man called Shaun, who asked us first if we had our wallets, then if we knew Carol (I have discovered it is withoute -e) - she´d [View Full Entry]

Don´t you just hate it when Belgians are right? We took the bus from Oaxaca to Puerto Escondido on Tuesday night, arriving quite early at the bus station, but managing to check in and check our baggage with minimal fuss. To while away the time before departure, we had a delicious Oaxaqueno hot chocolate - they heat the milk, break the special chocolate in and whisk it, and it´s beautiful, chocolately and spicey and just the think to get you thinking about sleep. While we drank it, we marvelled at the guy opposite who had a moustache the went from his [View Full Entry]

Hola Amigos Puerto Vallarta was a great way to ease us into Mexico. A very tourist orientated city, third most visted in all of Mexico. Lots of cruise ships and resorts and the Gay capital of Central America. Nothing like hairy men in speedos! It was also a refreshing change to be in such a cheap place after Argentina and USA. We were also lucky enough to meet a great group of people which made the stay even better. Who would have thought 2 Californian Probation officers and a Canadian from the middle of nowhere could be so much fun. We [View Full Entry]

We arrived bleary eyed in Puerto Escondido after completing our thirteen hour overnight bus journey from San Cristobal. Having had a decent amount of kip between us on Mexico’s comfy, albeit a little pricey, first class bus service followed by a quick stop for breakfast and we felt ready to commence the accommodation search. Not wooed at our first stop with its brash American owner trying to pressure us with promises of ‘nice sheets’ and ‘a great time’ instead we plumped for our second stop which looked to fit the bill. Hostel Puerto Escondido was a pretty barebon [View Full Entry]

Tim Version: * Searched longer than ever before for a good hostel and still didn't find one! * Checked out the wave and while it was just OK it really needs the right season to work. * Bit disappointed by the place really.... The version that entered with a jittery excitement, and left with a bad taste in its mouth: Puerto Escondido! While this isn't a surfing trip, and every time I surf I find I suck more and more as what little skill I had drains away, I still get little-kid-at-disney-land excited by a chance to surf, or really just [View Full Entry]

It was great to see the sea again and those long white beaches and most of all feel the warm air early in the morning. I got of the bus at Puerto Escondido and I made my way to the mayflower hostel close to the bus station. This is a little beachside village situated on the pacific coast. The place is well liked amongst tourists and is great for surfing apparently. It had a long bay and stretch of white sand with areas of shallow calm waters and some areas better for surfing. The little town offers lots of great places [View Full Entry]
