Puerto Escondido and Zicatela, on the Oaxaca coast, is home to the Mexican Pipeline, famous for its surfing competitions every year in November.
It’s a laid-back town with small restaurants and hotels. Think surfing, dreadlocks, seafood and beach.
Puerto Escondido is close to 3,000 km (1,760 miles) from Nogales, or under 200 km from Oaxaca City. The name means “hidden port,” and it’s a relaxing haven.
