Day Trip to Puerto Escondido
Description
Embark on a fascinating day trip to Puerto Escondido, where you'll immerse yourself in the vibrant local culture while marveling at the area's stunning landscapes and diverse marine life.
Trip Overview
Your adventure begins with a pick-up from your hotel in Oaxaca at the scheduled time. The journey, lasting two hours, offers breathtaking vistas of the Madre del Sur mountain range. As we traverse this scenic route, take note of the diverse flora and fauna that grace the surroundings!
Upon arrival in Puerto Escondido, our first activity is a boat ride that will take us to Puerto Angelito, Manzanillo, Carrizalillo, and Zicatela beaches, all renowned for their surfing culture. We will venture further offshore in search of playful dolphins, majestic turtles, and even whales in the open waters.
Following our aquatic exploration, we will set foot on Zicatela Beach, allowing you time to bask in the sun and enjoy the soft sands. At Punta Zicaleta, you will have the remainder of the day to yourself to participate in various water activities, savor local delicacies, or even take part in a turtle release if you choose. Truly, a memorable experience awaits!
After taking in a spectacular sunset at this paradise, we'll head back to Oaxaca, concluding our journey after approximately 14 hours together.
