Beautiful islands in the view of our Barcelo Huatulco.The Bay is particularly beautiful at night with the lights in the distance & stars shining above the palms. We took Jose'Lopez Lopez tour to see the other bays with white sand beaches & variety of wave action. We did see sea turtles, dolphins, & others saw whales on the previous day. Its a great idea to limit resorts to a small area to reserve the natural beaches & habitat.

Look! Look! Look! Wherever you turn, there is a new bird and this was in March, off of breeding season for many species when song activity is not high. It's local folks who are making their living here. Support them and see nature up close. It's the only way to really SEE this extensive mix habitat. Go early. Take the 6:30 launches and avoid the heat. Best for pics, too. Be sure to bring binoculars. Funny how many people think that they'll see everything like on TV.

It was my first time scuba-diving. Virgilio and Carlos offered me the best experience, they were patient, helpful, and very clear in their guidance, both in Spanish and English. I can only recommend this team, whether you are novice or experienced. We had a great time together, saw tons of fishes including rays. Best diving spot in Huatulco!

We took the Lagune tour with a knowledgeable ‘red shirt’. Don’t know all the details about the 2 opposing groups red vs white. Just noticed as we were passing the white tour guide, the men didn’t greet one another. The boot tour was interesting and very relaxing. This was also the place to buy straw hats, honey, teas, chocolate etc. Bought refreshing Jamaica Alma Blanca tea leaves. Prices were very reasonable and good quality with the proceeds going back to the conservation effort. We also had Tlayuda,a typical Oaxacan filled tortilla at a tiny family run restaurant. Definitely worth a visit.

This natural park is huge it is an entire day activity. By 5:30pm it begins to darken so go early. You will need to drive to every lake as they are not within walking distance. However it is worth it! I recommend you go on your own and not a tour bus so you can take time to see and appreciate every wonder. The drive to the park is long however the road is safe. On your way to the Park you will get a lot of con-artist posing as guides DO NOT get anyone people will offer you their kids for 100 pesos, don't do it. Wait until you pay the park fee and enter. Go to the first lake "Laguna de Aguatinta" there is a small parking area with a kiosk, there you will find Oscar. Oscar is a local guide that lives in a town surrounded by a virgin forest. He grew up there and is a certified guide he has received training. He is also extremely humble and very knowledgeable. He does not charge you anything and will stay with you the entire day if necessary, you only pay him what you want, like a donation. Make sure you have space in your vehicle for him as he will be guiding you in the drive to every lake. He will also take you to eat the authentic food that the locals make in that area, delicious! We were so happy to have found him amongst many guides. I will add a photo of him. If you want to reserve him in advance he was nice enough to give me his number I can connect you with him. He only speaks Spanish. He can also take you on a boat canoe, horseback riding, also to the Guatemala border and can help you reserve a cabin if you wish to stay in Montebello, which I recommend. Please feel free to ask me any questions.
