In today’s Puerto Escondido Vlog, I will be taking you with me as I explore the beautiful coastal town of Puerto Escondido and discover what you can get with $20 or 400 Mexican Pesos. Puerto Escondido is located in the state of Oaxaca Mexico, and over the past few years has become a very popular destination for backpackers, digital nomads and surfers. So, today we are going to find out how expensive is Puerto Escondido and why so many people love visiting this coastal town!
To start off the day in Puerto Escondido Mexico we went to the main market in town called Mercado Benito Juarez to get a traditional Mexican breakfast. For breakfast, I got huevos a la Mexicana, which are Mexican style scrambled eggs. After a delicious breakfast in Puerto Escondido, I walked across the market for a fresh fruit juice. After breakfast, I decided to take a colectivo across town to the area of Puerto Escondido called La Punta. Colectivos are shared taxis, and in Puerto Escondido Oaxaca, they only cost $0.08!
La Punta is a beautiful area lined with dirt roads, tall palm trees, and tons of shops, restaurants, and cafes. La Punta is likely my favorite area of Puerto Escondido. After walking around La Punta, I decided to get an iced coffee at one of my favorite cafes in Puerto Escondido, Nomada. After a refreshing coffee, it was time for lunch so I decided to go to a local taco spot called Chilango Taco right on the edge of La Punta. I got fresh chicken and steak tacos, and the owners were incredibly kind and fun to talk with!
After lunch and a quick snack of plantain chips, I walked up Playa Zicatela (Zicatela Beach) from La Punta all the way to Playa Principal (Principal Beach). Playa Principal is a great local beach in Puerto Escondido where tons of locals like to go fishing and relax in the sun. Right above Playa Principal is Adoquin street, which is lined with tons of local shops and restaurants. This is a great place to get some affordable food and souvenirs in Puerto Escondido. After buying a new pair of flip flops and a passion fruit popsicle, I walked all the way to what many consider to be the best beach in Puerto Escondido, Playa Carrizalillo (Carrizalillo Beach).
On the way to Playa Carrizalillo, I stopped to get a fresh coconut on the side of the road. Like many others, Playa Carrizalillo is my favorite beach in Puerto Escondido. The views from above are absolutely stunning and Playa Carrizalillo is home to incredible soft white sand and friendly waves for beginner and intermediate surfers in Puerto Escondido. To end the day in Puerto Escondido, I went to a local taco stand to enjoy the famous Al Pastor Tacos.
After spending about a week in Puerto Escondido Mexico, I can now understand why so many people love it here so much. And as you can hopefully see from my video, it’s not too hard to travel Puerto Escondido affordably.
