Puerto Escondido Mexico
Experience the Tropical Paradise of Puerto Escondido
The ‘Hidden Port’ will enchant you with its crystal clear waters, its vast network of mangroves and its vibrant, laid-back city
We could tell you what it feels like to have sun-baked golden sand squish between your toes along Zicatela beach, or we could tell you how fresh the humid, tropical air feels in your lungs, or we could even have you imagine what a towering twenty foot wave, speckled with surfers, sounds like as it crashes onto shore and foams to an end at your feet… but we think Puerto Escondido is a place you need to experience firsthand to fully understand the wonder, the beauty and the magic of such a paradise.
Located in the state of Oaxaca, Puerto Escondido (also known as the Hidden Port), is a relatively new city (first established in the 1930’s) and is now a hotspot for surfers, globetrotters, vacationers and every traveller in between. It draws in an array of tourists because of the endless possibilities and activities available here. Whether you want to snorkel in the pristine, crystal-clear waters of the Mexican Pacific coast in search of tropical fish, surf or boogie board some small to epic waves, or spend hours exploring the city’s colourful, bustling neighbourhoods, Puerto Escondido has something that will inspire every traveller.
Sitting in multiple airports waiting to arrive at your destination isn’t a vacation. And because Puerto Escondido is only accessible through domestic (within-Mexico) flights, many vacationers end up spending too much time looking for flights that shuttle them from airport to airport.
At Inspired Vacations, we want your vacation to be just that: a vacation. Our in-house flight specialist team works round the clock to find you the most direct and inexpensive route to Puerto Escondido. Because we book through Mexican airlines, we can get you on your vacation faster and easier than on your own, while spending as little time possible in transit.
So what are you waiting for? Pack your bags and call Inspired Vacations today to book your flights!
