One Day from Oaxaca Getaway to Puerto Escondido
Overview
Enjoy a full-day escape from Oaxaca to Puerto Escondido, traveling along the new superhighway through the breathtaking Sierra Madre del Sur. In less than two hours, arrive at one of Oaxaca’s most famous beach destinations.
Start with a scenic boat tour along the Pacific coast, discovering beautiful beaches such as Puerto Angelito, Carrizalillo, Manzanillo, Playa Coral, and the iconic Zicatela. Keep your eyes open for wildlife—dolphins, sea turtles, and even whales during migration season (December to March).
Later, relax at Zicatela Beach, world-renowned for its powerful waves and international surf competitions. Visit La Punta, a vibrant area where you can unwind on the sand or enjoy optional activities like tasting local cuisine, taking a surf lesson, visiting a beach club, or renting bikes and ATVs. You may also take part in a memorable turtle release at sunset.
End the day returning to Oaxaca with unforgettable memories of the Pacific coast.
