Very nice place, but watch out for those steps

The casa is situated high on a hill, which makes it great for bird watching, but means there are approximately 60 steps to climb up from street level. This can be fairly strenuous in the heat if you are not used to it. The kitchen...More

Thanks for the honest comments. There are "some" stairs [~60] but being "high up" also means catching the ocean breezes and having those vistas!

About the neighbourhood

The map doesn't name Mazunte. Mazunte is immediately to the west of [and is larger than] San agustinillo. You will note roads going towards the shore. They are in Mazunte and so are we!
The 'Coasta Chica' of Oaxaca has been written about in many guide books. The problem is that they haven't edited those books and kept up with the changes.
Mazunte, and the neighboring coastal villages of Ventinilla, San Agustinillo and Zipolite offer the chance to see the face of real Mexico. The Oaxacan cuisine is world renouned, the tranquil villages and beaches are wonderful. The international feel you experience is relaxed and genuine, enhanced by the travelers from around the world who come to the area.

The Oaxacan cuisine is world renouned, the tranquil villages and beaches are wonderful. The international feel you experience is relaxed and genuine, enhanced by the travelers from around the world who come to the area.
Mazunte has an international feel due to the diversity of the community. Besides the local Mexicans, there are many from Europe and both North and South America who have settled here. There are fresh food stores specializing in fruits, vegetables, the days' catch [everything from tuna, red snapper, dorado, pargo, even locally caught lobster.] If you are fortunate enough to be here for them, there are special events including an annual jazz festival [mid November] and other festivals. [New Years is a treat.]
Many restaurants (some fine dining) are very close by, beaches, beaches, surfing, yoga, laundry, Mexican Center for the Sea Turtle, 'swim with the turtles' and mangrove lagoon boat trips (whale watching in season), white water rafting, water hikes and bird watching trips along the Copalito and San Francisco rivers, ample night life, Nov. jazz festival (write for dates), renouned Natural Cosmetics Cooperative. beach attire and souvenir shops. Mazunte is family friendly.
Hospital in nearby Pochutla and a clinic very close by in Mazunte.
Mazunte is home to the Mexican Center for the Sea Turtle where the country's conservation efforts are centered. The thriving community is aware of the role that travelers and vacationers play in the local economy and strive to make the visitors' experience a fulfilling one. Also, the area is not that large and most people walk to get around. The short distances help. IF you want to go further afield [say 10 minutes away to Zipolite] catch a pasajero or get a taxi for fast transport. It is easy to get around here.
Puerto Escondido - home of the Mexican Pipeline [thats surfing] and other fun events is less than an hour to the west and the Bahias de Huatulco resort development is an hour to the east. The Huatulco international airport [HUX] is a 40 minute drive.

How to get there

Airport: HUX - Huatulco airport: 48.0 km

Ferry: PXM - Puerto Escondido airport: 64.0 km

Arrival directions;
Keep the From San Antonio section handy so you can disembark on the main road close to us or direct the driver to Posada las Mazuntinas.
From the HUX airport: The airport transportation is quite expensive (>M$1,300pesos from HUX) which is why we recommend you do what we do. We walk the short distance from the terminal to the main road and negotiate with one of the taxi drivers waiting there across the street. The rate to Mazunte is usually between M$350 to $450pesos although people have haggled less. Agree on the price before handing over your bags or getting in the taxi. You will want to go west – to the right on the highway.
If you are familiar with, or wish the experience, there are buses that pass by to Pochutla that are very inexpensive. It is quite possi... more

You will want to go west – to the right on the highway.
If you are familiar with, or wish the experience, there are buses that pass by to Pochutla that are very inexpensive. It is quite possible to make the entire journey for ~M$25pesos to San Antonio (catch a bus marked for Puerto Escondido for a straight through ride. If you have to change buses in Pochutla see below.
Note: some taxi drivers from the Huatulco area intend to get to Mazunte by way of Puerto Angel, Zipolite, Arroyo Tres and San Agustinillo by turning left just after the military checkpoint. This is NOT the recommended route. It takes far longer, is less pleasant for the passengers and costs a bit more. Continue straight along the coastal highway to San Antonio and turn at the OXXO store for Mazunte.
From Puerto Escondido airport: Take the airport transportation into Puerto Escondido and negotiate with either a taxi for the best rate to Mazunte or San Antonio (or the bus station for passage to San Antonio.)
From Pochutla: You have the option of a taxi (~$140pesos) to Mazunte, a pasajero (pick-ups with a covered back and passenger benches) to Mazunte for ~$18pesos per person or take a local bus to San Antonio. If you opt for a taxi, ask if it is a 'collectivo' which means you'll get a reduced rate but it is per person - this is cheaper than the standard fare. Agree on a rate usually ~M$20pesos/person. He also won't deliver you right to las Mazuntinas but will let you out on the main road about 100 meters away in front of La Empanada restaurant.

From San Antonio: Already in a taxi or a pasajero headed for Mazunte? Stay put. However, if you arrived by bus, find a taxi and negotiate with the driver for Mazunte. This will be a standard rate most likely. You might also wait for a pasajero (in front of, or just past, the OXXO store - just flag him over) for local flavor and reduced rate. The road winds through the countryside until it reaches El Zapotal, a small crossroads community where the road to La Ventanilla turns off to the right. Continue straight on up the hill and down into Mazunte. Past the roadside Bienvenidos a Mazunte sign there are 2 topes; one is metal spheres and the second is a raised crosswalk just past the Information Center on the right. Go slow at this point. Restaurant Tania's is on the Left and La Empanada restaurant is on the Right. Our street, calle Bugambilia, is IMMEDIATELY to the Left of La Empanada before the No Estacionamiento sign. Proceed down calle Bugambilia a very short distance to the big stone wall (that's us!) and turn Right to our parking area. There is a bronze bell to ring on the stone post.
