A little about Playa Zipolite, The Beach of the Dead . . .

Playa Zipolite, Oaxaca, Southern Mexico, on the Pacific Ocean. A little bit about my favorite little get-away on this small world of ours.

Zipolite, a sweaty 30-minute walk west from Puerto Angel, brings you to Playa Zipolite and another world. The feeling here is 1970's - Led Zep, Marley, and scruffy gringos.

A long, long time ago, Zipolite beach was usually visited by the Zapotecans...who made it a magical place. They came to visit Zipolite to meditate, or just to rest.

Recently, this beach has begun to receive day-trippers from Puerto Angel and Puerto Escondido, giving it a more TOURISTY feel than before.

Most people come here for the novelty of the nude beach, yoga, turtles, seafood, surf, meditation, vegetarians, discos, party, to get burnt by the sun, or to see how long they can stretch their skinny budget.

I post WWW Oaxaca, Mexico, Zipolite and areas nearby information. Also general budget, backpacker, surfer, off the beaten path, Mexico and beyond, information.

REMEMBER: Everyone is welcome at Zipolite.

Puerto Escondido: Massage Central

We know that Puerto has world-class waves, turns out we may also have world-class massage therapists, if reports from international travellers are to be believed. A 60-something lady from Ireland says Estela made her feel better than any of the Dublin masseuses she sees, while her daughter swears byAaron. Don’t even think of getting an appointment with Nora, the most popular Puerto masseuse, during high season; people book their sessions with her months in advance.

Fortunately, there is no shortage of highly skilled practitioners, and visitors can experiment with a variety of techniques. If you like deep massages, Nora and Rufina are the people to see. At a recent session with Rufina I felt like my back was being pushed through my rib cage, nonetheless I fell asleep. If you prefer a softer more relaxing touch, check out the masseurs and masseuses atTemazcalli. A massage there with Aaron includes acupressure, and he also offers acupuncture as well as other therapies. Another advocate of the relaxing, softhanded technique is Rosa María of the Flor de Jamaica Spa and the Hotel Ines. Polish-Canadian Beata Jesionowski falls somewhere in between.

Massage therapists do not only have their hands full with tourists and snowbirds, as they also treat surfers, who like any other athletes, suffer from sports-related injuries. Local people also come seeking relief from stress. If I’ve learned one thing from researching this article, it is that I need to get more massages and there are many practitioners to try out.
