Puerto Escondido Centro Travel Guide

San Pedro Mixtepec

We have never seen as many dolphins as we did when off the coast of Puerto Escondido. We saw both white tail and spotted, and literally HUNDREDS of them just playing all around us.

A morning tour with Deep Blue Divers took us up and down the coastline to see dolphins, sea turtles, and even a 25 ton humpback whale with her baby.

Conversely, cost of living concerns e.g. no more chips & salsa when consuming beverages at said 2nd floor patio, reduced quality of what used to be pretty ...

Central location walking distance to restaurants and shops. But a bit of a hike to get to the beach or marina (20+ minutes). Spacious room and bathroom.
