Huatulco
Welcome to Huatulco Bays in Oaxaca State. A paradise located on the Southern
Pacific Coast of Mexico, where nine beautiful bays of brilliant indigo waters
were found. With the imponent Sierra Madre del Sur as a backdrop, their 36
beaches offer a paradise secluded from the rest of the world by 21,000 hectares
of lush vegetation. Huatulco offers natural sceneries that invite you to
practice activities related to ecotourism and extreme sports. Your Huatulco
vacations will be full of adventure and beautiful beaches at a calm and natural
ambiance.
Until the early 1980's this group of nine interlocking bays had only an
isolated fishing-village, with no water or electricity and was accessible by a
dirt path. The terrain is formed by the rugged Sierra Madre del Sur, abutting
the Pacific to create sandy coves. The lively services village of La Crucecita
is good for bars and restaurants and budget hotels.
In 1983 the first luxury hotels and a six-lane road network were built, soon
followed by an airport, golf course and marina. But for the moment, Huatulco
remains pleasantly undeveloped. So far, there are three structured bays:
Tangolunda which is the most exclusive, Chahue which is still embryonic and
Santa Cruz, where amenities are clustered around the marina.
Huatulco meets with a high level urban infrastructure that
follows international standards of quality and environmental protection, as
well as great respect for the regional architecture and its natural
surroundings.
Your Huatulco vacations will allow you to be in direct
contact with the purtest nature thanks to the natural sceneries invite to
participate in alternative, extreme, and ecological tourism activities.
Nine bays, no limits.

Discover secret coves and hidden lagoons in and around the
nine sparkling bays of Huatulco (wah-tool-co). As the
hemisphere's first eco-tourism resort, this unspoiled hideaway
remains pleasingly primitive, yet warm and welcoming. With no resort taller
than six stories, great care is being taken to retain the virgin beauty of this
environmental jewel. Your Huatulco escape puts you in reach of spectacular waterfalls,
emerald rainforests, whale watching and the ancient culture
of the mysterious Zapotec people.
