Zona Arqueologica de Monte Alban

The ruins of this ancient Zapotec capital make up one of the most important archaeological sites in all of Latin America.

Reviewed By zantb003 - Sybertsville, United States

Great site!! Great prehispanic temples and observatory. It’s a part of Oaxaca, Zapotecs. I enjoyed it, of course, we’re into history and archeology. It’s impressive-grand.

Punta Cometa

Reviewed By Natasha0606 - Marburg, Germany

It's a small hike up to a marvelous sunset point. Well worth the climb. The scenery is a dream and sometimes there are people up there plying music. A definite plus.

Yaxchilan Arqueological site where the only way to get there is by taking a boat in the river Usumacinta and it is a 30min. ride and it is beautiful and also you can see the howler monkeys , spider monkeys, Toucan birds and parrots. Beautiful place.

A must visit archaeological site in Mexico!! Located in the heart of the 'selva', it's worth taking a guide to fully grasp the majesty of the Mayan civilisation in Palenque. Our favourite :)

Playa Carrizalillo

Small, lesser-known cove that isn’t usually crowded.

Reviewed By nhbezerkeley

We were lucky enough to stay at a hotel on this gorgeous beach, so spent a lot of time there. The water was warm and beautiful and great for swimming or bobbing in the gentle waves. Renting loungers is a must to get some shade (the place with blue loungers was 250 for two, the next door place with orange loungers was 150 each), or claim a restaurant table and order food.

Playa Bacocho

The westernmost beach in Puerto Escondido.

Reviewed By blumtnguy - Blue Mountains, Canada

Unrivalled in the area for its thunderous waves on a virtually deserted beach that seems to go on forever Playa Bacocho is the gem in the crown of Puerto Escondido (secret port). Easily accessed by taxi and through either of the two beach clubs at the southern end. Every day at sunset the turtle rescue center releases baby turtles to the ocean ... a must see for the children in your group or even for the child in you! Pez Gallo Restaurante at Playa VillaSol Beach Club provides excellent cuisine as well as an amazing view of the beach as the waves crash onto the rocks.

Tangolunda Bay

Reviewed By 59ML

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.

Bahia San Agustin

This beach is perfect for snorkeling and diving and features fresh-seafood restaurants.

Reviewed By CasaHoffa - Huatulco, Mexico

Playa San Augustin is among our 3 favorite beaches in Huatulco for snorkeling, swimming and EATING. The reef here is filled with colorful fish of every size and the restaurants serve-up fresh fish pulled out of the waters (try the Huachinango restaurant!!)

Laguna de Manialtepec

Lagoon a few miles away from Puerto Escondido featuring lush plant life and pristine beaches.

Reviewed By 98chips - Calgary, Canada

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.

Playa Zicatela

Beachfront in Puerto Escondido.

Reviewed By Bibliokos - Jalisco, Mexico

Amazing beach right south of Puerto Escondido. Great for riding the waves or hanging out on the beach and taking a quick dip in the ocean. This is not a beach for swimming or hanging out in the ocean unless you have a surf or bodyboard. The surf and undertow are dangerous along this beach. Also, stay away from the over-priced and mediocre to poor quality food that is offered at the restaurants along the main drag of Av del Morro. If all you want is a cold drink and some guacamole and chips that's fine... but don't waste your money on dinner at these places. Take the beautiful walk to the southern area.... La Punta/Brisas (keep reading) The only place you can really just sit in calm waters is at the far south end near the lighthouse. There you can relax and sunbathe and wade out into the water to cool off. This is also where you find the kids who are learning to surf. It's really quite fun watching them tackle the mini waves. This Brisas de Zicatela neighborhood is also the place to stay if you want a younger and more hip and lively bunch to hang out with. Plenty of lodging and good restaurants and the best coffeehouse are down there.
