Ten Adventure Guides to help you make the best weekend plans in and around Puerto Escondido

Find the links to each guide, and a one sentence description on the essence of the location.

Guide #1: West to Puerto Suelo

Puerto Suelo is a palm-shaded secluded beach near a picturesque lagoon, close enough for a coconut-drinking frisbee-throwing day trip.

Guide #2: Southeast to El Puertecito and Tierra Blanca

Two small charming fishing villages full of tide pools, massive rock-lined beaches, surf breaks, seafood, and goats wandering the streets.

Guide #3: West by Land and Lagoon to Chacahua

A slice of National Geographic squeezed between a bioluminescent-rich lagoon and the best surf wave in North America, where everyone eats breakfast at the same place and all the community announcements are made through a megaphone at the town square.

Guide #4: North on the New Highway to Oaxaca City

The ancient capital of the state; bursting with markets, flavors, street art, parks, bakeries, culture, flowers, cathedrals, boutiques, and everything that we humans love most.

Guide #5: East to Mazunte and Zipolite

Mazunte is the friendly vegan hippy cousin of Puerto Escondido, and Zipolite is the weird nudest lesbian aunt. Both are great at yoga and weddings. Both are also great to visit for a quick overnight trip.

I set the yearly membership as low as Substack allows, so thanks in advance if you do decide to upgrade to a paid subscription. It allows for access to all the insider info in each of these guides, along with other exclusive content (like the rest of this curated archive).
