THE TOWNPuerto Escondido is a Pacific port town and coastal gem best known by surfers from all over the world for its first class “break.”
It’s easily reachable from Oaxaca City by a short flight or a longer but scenic mini-bus ride. The town offers a laid-back yet buzzing local scene for shopping, dining and partying—or just taking in daily life. Gastronomic options include an abundance of fresh and delicious seafood dishes as well as international cuisines. With something for everyone, no wonder it’s been named a must-visit spot by the New York Times. And the bonus: it’s affordable, too! |
THE CLIMATEPuerto Escondido is almost always warm and sunny, with temperatures typically between a low of 18℃/64℉ and a high of 45℃/113℉ and averaging 30℃/86℉.
Although it’s located in the tropics, the coastline is mainly arid making it a comfortable place to stay. The rainy season is generally July to October, with September typically being the rainiest month, but it doesn’t usually rain too much or too often. Beyond the alluring surf and sand of its many beaches, the town is surrounded with a beautiful tropical landscape for exploring. There is an extensive menu of outdoor activities and excursions from which to choose. |
