Discover the Nine Coves of Huatulco

One factor that distinguishes Huatulco is its famous nine bays, each with its own unique atmosphere, having a touch of magic to the nature. The whole coast is about 35 kilometers long and boasts over 30 secluded beaches where one can enjoy swimming, snorkeling, and relaxing.

• Tangolunda Bay: for the ones who like presenting themselves on holiday in a luxurious way, surrounded by high-class resorts and prestigious golf courses.

• Bay of Santa Cruz: You'll have here a lively marina with plenty of restaurants of local cuisine in an especially coastal atmosphere.

• Cacaluta Bay: This bay is ideal for those seeking to get away into the wilderness and breathe in, with the surrounding tropical forests offering hiking and birdwatching.

Sustainability

One of the hallmarks of Huatulco is his commitment to environmentally friendly and sustainable development. In 2005, the resort became the first in the Americas to obtain the international Green Globe certification for its commitment to environmental care and social responsibility.

Most of the bays and areas around them are included in ecological zones and national parks, what allows tourists to contemplate the beauty of the untouched nature. Huatulco National Park offers jungle walks, observation of rare species of animals, and diving into the underwater world of coral reefs.

Active Traveler Adventures

Huatulco is also famous for outdoor activities. The Sierra Madre del Sur mountains around the coast create perfect conditions for such tourism activities as white-water rafting, quad biking, and ziplining.

A trip to Magic Falls of Copalita is anguishingly overwhelming for nature lovers, where one can have not only the magic of cascading waterfalls but also a dip in crystal-clear natural pools.

Cultural Traditions

Despite the fact that its popularity constantly grows, Huatulco has preserved its real Mexican atmosphere. A town close to the bays, La Crucecita, allows visitors to get familiar with local life, visit markets and craft shops, and try traditional Oaxacan dishes. Worth trying in particular is mole-a rich sauce made from numerous local ingredients.

In La Crucecita shines the church that houses the biggest image of the Virgin of Guadalupe, which attracted a lot of locals and tourists alike.

A Perfect Year-Round Vacation Destination.

Due to its tropical climate, Huatulco enjoys warm weather throughout the year, and that is a good sign for people who love beaches. The peak tourist season is in the dry season, which starts in November and goes through April, with sunny days and cool, pleasant evenings.

Unlike the more famous Mexican hotspots, like Cancun or Puerto Vallarta, Huatulco keeps a relaxed feeling and is never in hustle-and-bustle mode, which helps make it just perfect for some isolated vacationing. 

How to Get to Huatulco 

Huatulco is accessible by international airport, which is only 20 minutes away from the main areas of resorts. Direct flights are offered from main Mexican, United States, and Canadian cities. Upon arrival, several more options are available for guests to hire a taxi or board a local bus facility to travel easily inside and outside the premises of the city. 

Conclusion 

Huatulco is more than a beach resort; it's a place where nature, culture, and adventure are in complete harmony. With its seven beautifully sapphire-blue bays, eco-friendly projects in place, and an array of both land and water activities, Huatulco remains one of those Pacific Coast hidden jewels worth a visit by any travel enthusiast.
