Travel Vlog #104 | Puerto Escondido, Oaxaca, Mexico
We’re BACK in Puerto Escondido! Today we're putting together a travel guide of some of our favorite experiences in the area. We started our day out on the southern coast of Mexico by getting up before sunrise to catch a boat out to the ocean! We had a goal to see some whales and dolphins when we booked this, and the boat tour far exceeded our expectations! We were lucky enough to see over 8 whales and 30-40 dolphins in total. There is truly no better way to start the morning in Puerto Escondido with some whale and dolphin watching! We were on our tour for about 3 hours in total, which was the perfect amount of time.
After arriving back at our hotel in Puerto Escondido, Hotel Rockaway, we took advantage of an included breakfast, AKA the best kind. If you get motion sickness from being in boats, I'd recommend taking some anti motion-sickness medicine before the boat ride, it was SUPER bumpy! After breakfast, we hopped in a taxi (really cheap in Puerto Escondido) toward La Punta. La Punta is the very young and trendy side of Puerto Escondido that reminded us a lot of Tulum (but we like this a lot better than Tulum). We grabbed an acai bowl before walking along the beach. Like Zicatela, La Punta's beaches aren't the best for swimming, but awesome for surfing!
After we were done at La Punta, we hopped back in a taxi towards Bacocho beach at the exact other end of the town. This is one of the less popular beaches in Puerto Escondido. It's much less organized and is a huge stretch of beach. We didn't visit for the beach though, but the turtles!
There's a very famous sea turtle rescue at Bacocho! It's called Campamento Tortuguero"Vive Mar" Liberación de tortugas on Google Maps. For only 100 pesos, or 5 US dollars, you can release your own baby turtle into the ocean! This organization helps preserve the sea turtle population by helping to release turtles each day. If you want a truly unique experience (and beautiful sunset), this is a must do while in Puerto Escondido. We have a TON of Puerto Escondido and Oaxacan coast exploring to do, so make sure you subscribe to see the rest of our Mexico Travel Vlogs, and where else we go in the world!
