Why visit Huatulco?

Huatulco is a coastal resort area on the Pacific coast of Oaxaca, in southern Mexico. It is made up of nine bays with dozens of beaches, many of them inside Huatulco National Park. Developed as a planned tourist destination with a focus on low-rise building and protected nature, it feels calmer than most large Mexican resorts.

Spend your days moving between bays such as Santa Cruz, Chahue, Tangolunda and the more remote Cacaluta and San Agustin. La Entrega beach has calm, clear water that is good for snorkeling over coral. Take a boat tour along the coast to reach beaches that are hard to access by road. In the town of La Crucecita, visit the main square and the church whose ceiling is painted with a large image of the Virgin of Guadalupe. Explore the Copalita Eco-Archaeological Park, with pre-Hispanic ruins, jungle trails and ocean views. Coffee farms in the nearby Sierra Sur mountains offer tours and cooler air. Oaxacan food is the highlight here, from tlayudas and mole to fresh seafood and mezcal.
