7 Reasons to Visit Puerto Escondido
Join me on a tour of this rambunctious jalapeno of a surf town!
To Try Something Crazy
If you’ve ever wanted to try sky diving, look no further. Self preservation be damned, it’s time to test the limits of reason. A few steps off the main strip on Playa Zicatela, you’ll find a gem of a sky diving mecca called Skydive Cuautla.

Skydiving in Puerto Escondido
I can’t think of a better way to get crazy in this loco town then to fly thousands of feet above the earth and jump out of a plane. In fact, it might be one of the most sane things you’ll do on your trip.
After you’ve said your hail mary’s, double checked that your will is up to date, and sent you mom a text that you love her, you’ll be jonesing to make the plunge and kiss the clouds hovering above this sacred beach town. Come on, you have to admit, this is something you’d better check of your bucket list now. The voice in your head telling you to be afraid will only grow louder as you get older. And, as they say, there’s no time like the present to start truly living.

Is there anything better than sitting on the beach and watching the sunset?? There are a couple of beaches to enjoy watching the sun go down. Playa Zicatela and Playa Carrizalillo. Ahhhhh ☀️

There’s more to do here than just ride your surf board.

Many places claim to be the world’s best surfing beach but Puerto Escondido’s Palaya Zicatela would make it to the top ten. Even if you don’t surf,when you see the beach you will want to try it!

If you’re planning to go to a place you’ve never been before, it’s best to do some research first,about reviews, tourist spots to visit and a place to stay. so when you go there you won’t spend too much time looking.
