Puerto Escondido: A Hidden Gem Awaits You

Let me share a place that has completely captured my heart—Puerto Escondido, tucked away on Mexico's Pacific coast. It’s one of those rare places that feels untouched by time, where natural beauty, rich culture, and endless adventure await. Often called “the next Tulum,” Puerto still has that authentic charm that makes it feel special, far from the crowds and full of hidden treasures.

I’m beyond excited to host our transformative retreat here in November, and I want to give you a glimpse of what adventures you’ll experience in this magical place.

1. Beach Bliss & Ocean Adventures

Puerto Escondido’s beaches are pure paradise. Whether you're looking to unwind or seeking adventure, there’s a beach for you.

- Playa Zicatela is world-renowned for its surf, attracting surfers from all over. Even if you're not a surfer, you can still get in on the action with lessons or just relax at a beach bar, watching the pros ride the waves.

- Playa Carrizalillo is a hidden gem. With its calm, turquoise waters and palm-fringed shores, it’s perfect for swimming, snorkeling, or simply lounging with a good book. The steps down to the beach might be a bit of a challenge, but once you're there, it feels like your own private escape.

- Playa Bacocho offers a truly special experience—releasing sea turtles into the ocean at sunset. It’s one of those spiritual, once-in-a-lifetime moments that really connects you to nature.

2. Lagoon Adventures & Bioluminescent Magic

One of the most enchanting things about Puerto Escondido is the bioluminescent lagoon at Laguna de Manialtepec. Just imagine gliding through the water at night, watching it sparkle with tiny glowing organisms. Whether you choose to kayak, swim, or simply float under the stars, it’s pure magic. By day, the lagoon is perfect for bird watching, boat tours, and exploring the lush mangroves that feel like a hidden Eden.

3. Hiking to Hidden Waterfalls

For those who love adventure, there’s nothing like hiking through the jungle to reach Cascada de La Reforma, a breathtaking waterfall in the mountains. After the hike, cool off with a swim in the fresh water and enjoy a peaceful picnic surrounded by nature. It’s the perfect blend of adventure and relaxation.

4. Explore Vibrant Local Markets

Puerto Escondido’s markets are full of life and color, and they’re a must-visit. The Mercado Benito Juarez is the heart of the town, where you can sample fresh tropical fruits, pick up handmade crafts, and sip on some of the best Oaxacan coffee. It’s a great way to meet the locals and take home a few unique souvenirs.

5. Ecotourism & Wildlife Exploration

Puerto Escondido is a paradise for nature lovers. You can hop on a boat tour to spot dolphins and sea turtles, or visit Laguna Chacahua, a national park filled with exotic birds, crocodiles, and unique plant life. It’s a truly immersive experience in one of the world’s most biodiverse regions.

6. Sunset Magic at La Punta

One of my favorite things to do here is head to La Punta for the sunset. There’s something so magical about sitting on the beach with a coconut in hand, watching the sky turn into shades of pink, orange, and purple. It’s a laid-back spot where travelers gather, share stories, and soak in the slow, peaceful vibe of Puerto.

7. The Perfect Setting for Transformation

This retreat is about more than just adventure—it’s about deep transformation. Whether you’re practicing yoga on the beach, learning meditation techniques, or connecting with like-minded people in meaningful conversations, Puerto Escondido provides the perfect backdrop for inner growth. You’ll leave feeling more present, more alive, and more in tune with yourself than ever before.

I can’t wait for you to experience this beautiful journey with us. Puerto Escondido is the perfect place to reset, recharge, and transform, and I’m so excited to share it with you.

Let’s make memories together in paradise.
