Tropical Vibes, Puerto Escondido, Mexico
There are some places based on photos alone that beckon your name. When researching Puerto Escondido in the state of Oaxaca, the images that popped up had my name written all over them. A beach town with an infamous surf reputation drawing a bohemian crowd, I was intrigued.
Located on the Pacific coast, Puerto Escondido can be 45 minutes by plane or seven hours by car from Oaxaca City. Not wanting to waste any precious time, a flight was in order. We chartered a Cessna and expert pilot to pop us over to the coast.
Carrizalillo beach instantly caught my attention with its white sands and calm turquoise waters. We found the perfect place to hole up. Located on a cliff providing views overlooking this gorgeous beach cove, we booked an incredible townhouse.
Morning meditations and yoga became morning routine as the beach was empty and serene in the early hours. Stairs leading down to the beach provided daily cardio and glute workouts. We sipped morning coffee while watching the sun creep up over the ocean and spent the afternoons tanning with locals.
Adventuring out we hopped on a scooter to hit up other beaches to lounge the day away. Sipping fruity drinks, exploring the town, and soaking up the sun and tropical vibes sums up our experience in Puerto Escondido.
Considering myself a tropi-gal, it's no surprise Puerto Escondido was calling, and I'm ecstatic I answered.
