Oaxaca City to the Pacific Coast
Cross the mountains from Oaxaca City to the ocean, connecting Puerto Escondido, Mazunte, and Huatulco.
Start by exploring the valley culture in Oaxaca City, then take the newly opened highway down to the coast. Stay in three different spots along the coast from west to east: surfing and lagoons in Puerto Escondido, sea turtles and sunsets in Mazunte, and boat trips around the bays of Huatulco. The trip relies on buses and local shared transport (colectivos) for a relaxed pace, perfect for those wanting to combine culture with beaches. The more distant Chacahua Lagoon is omitted.
The dry season from December to April is the most comfortable and busiest; lagoon bioluminescence tours are best experienced on dark nights around the new moon.
