Landed at Casa Macondo en Puerto Angel en la Costa Chica de Oxaca.

After exploring the more tourist, hip and bohemian vibes of Mazunte, San Augustinillo and Zipolite I chose to stay at the rustic cabana at Casa Macondo located on top of a ridge overlooking the sea. The outdoor shower (no hot water needed), outdoor kitchen and screened in bedroom, offered magnificent viewing and was almost like camping. 

A ten-minute walk down a steep stairway made of tires and through a small canyon lead to a pristine cove with three small beaches scattered with several thatched-roof beach restaurants.

Snorkeling from shore along the rocks and coral reef provided abundant fish for viewing.

Ceviche de camarones y una corona for a daily lunch.

Puerto Angel, located on a small bay, is no tourist attraction, but a more authentic fishing village. The walk to town was only 1k, but hot and hilly. The reward a cold corona and fresh shrimp tacos for 25 pesos or fresh pulpo (octopus).

Ahhh….the buena vida.
