Huatulco is a scenic town in the southern Mexican state of Oaxaca, which has been recently dubbed “Mexico’s culinary capital.”
The historic town of Santa Maria Huatulco is surrounded by the foothills of the Sierra Madre del Sur Mountains, which meet the Pacific Ocean approximately 500 km south east of Acapulco.
Traveling north, the terrain rises quickly becoming a lush tropical jungle where crops such as coffee, bananas, cashews and agave for Mezcal are grown. Sunshine can be expected 330 days of the year with an average temperature of 28 C.
The original inhabitants of the region were the Zapotec people, who built their civilization on the cliffs and hills of Oaxaca’s dreamy paradise coast.
Oaxaca’s sun-soaked coastal region is conveniently serviced with direct flights from the US and Canada. You can enjoy Huatulco’s charms at an all-inclusive resort a short drive from the airport or road trip west to gay-friendly Playa Zipolite or the gorgeous surf town of Puerto Escondido.
Be sure to take a break from sipping salty margaritas by the pool at Secrets Huatulco to enjoy tours to nearby attractions like coffee and cocoa plantations, refreshing waterfalls, snorkel cruises and kayaking adventures.
