Puerto Escondido Centro Travel Guide

San Pedro Mixtepec

We have never seen as many dolphins as we did when off the coast of Puerto Escondido. We saw both white tail and spotted, and literally HUNDREDS of them just playing all around us.

A morning tour with Deep Blue Divers took us up and down the coastline to see dolphins, sea turtles, and even a 25 ton humpback whale with her baby.

Close to airport Room was clean and staff helpful. Hotel is next to the main road and you should expect some noise. If on the ground floor (front facing) you'll also hear the activity of the cafe. 15 mins walk to Centro
