Day Trip To Mazunte, Mexico

Mazunte is a small, laidback bohemian town on the coast of Oaxaca. We spent a weekend here [which is a perfect amount of time!] between our longer stays in Oaxaca Centro + Puerto Escondio. Mazunte is an eclectic scene — mostly young, free spirits with a hint of grunge. It’s totally worth a stop… especially if you are in Puerto Escondido — it can easily be a day trip.

Coffee: Cometa Cafe — they roast their own beans, which is always a good sign : ). Loved their cold brew!

Eat: TRIBU for tacos + CoCuCo for a hip dinner.

For Next Time: Kafe Nagaad, Icaro Cafe, Cafe Panchatantra, Motek

Explore:

• BEACH! Obviously : ) You can buy a chair with an umbrella for $5 USD + relax on the beach all day
• Watch the sunset at Punta Cometa
• Visit the National Mexican Turtle Center
• Yoga class at Hridaya

Stay: We stayed at Cocolia Hotel — while the vibes were amazing, the open air concept led to A TON of mosquito bites + it was uncomfortably hot at night, which made it hard to sleep. Plus… the service was *very* slow. I’d recommend staying at this Airbnb.

Pro Tips:

• Watch your step! I sprained my hand bad walking from our hotel to the coffee shop on a steep, dusty road.
• Bring bug spray
• Definitely do not expect good wifi : )
• IT’S HOT — pack light, breezy clothes

Have you been to Mazunte?! What did I miss?
