Wow you guys - You go into so much finer details in your videos and certainly give the value if someone was wanting to stay there. Those dogs or puppies were very cute and I did catch the guy mooning...LOL - That's a bit rude haha I've only spent time in the Yucatan area and that was mainly for the Whale Sharks at Isla Mujeres. The area does look very similar with the restaurants etc, but way less people - Although don't know if that's because of the pandemic or not. The surfing looks just amazing though - I've always wanted to learn, but never got around to it. Matt knows how to surf though and I'm sure he would love it! Bagel and cream cheese - Well I'm not sure I have had one of those since New York in 2013...LOL. I'm sure I could get it easy enough here and make myself - but not really a "go to" food for us Aussies! Anyway - Good luck getting back into Mexico and looking forward to hearing your experience :)

the ceviche mexicano, is the one that is the most famous in the world, cuz it is a variant of ceviche that has a lot of fresh famous mexican ingredients, like tostadas, avocado,, chile, tomato, etc. all this ingredientes are only from mexico. That is why the ceviche mexicano is so unique and different than the ceviche done in south america. So yes, the ceviche that you know was invented in mexico. Same happens with other things, spanish gaspacho is defferent than mexican gaspacho, tortilla española and tortilla mexicana, etc. nice video... =)

OMG. I am shocked to see how much PE has changed since my last visit in year 2000. PE was much more underdeveloped back then than now. Here's an interesting fact about PE. There's an Italian film called Puerto Escondido, which was filed around 1993 in PE, Oaxaca. The movie was a hit in the 1990s in Italy. Thousands of Italians got so fascinated about PE that they are started visiting PE. Eventually several of them settled down permanently in PE. The best Italian Gelato I have ever had in all of Mexico was at an Italian ice cream shop in PE. Seth, you should consider letting your bear grow as you look really handsome. Don't mean to sound disrespectful, OK?

Usually no hot water needed in Puerto. Punta is the nicest part of Puerto. The most natural. Open ocean very dangerus, especially rogue waves. Crispy tortillas=tostadas. Careful because people steal in the hotels. Not too many people now because of Covid. Lotus is an excellent Asian food restaurant in Zicatela. Watch out for rogue waves on the walk. Even quieter and more natural is Zipolite. They've been talking about that highway since 2011.

Here is the truth about the new highway. Nowhere near ready: “Recorrimos lo que se pudo de la carretera Puerto Escondido - Oaxaca y les comento lo siguiente: 1. A la carretera le falta más de lo que todos creemos, lamento contradecir a los gobiernos federal y estatal pero no hay forma de que esté lista en el 2022. 2. El tiempo de recorrido no puede ser menor a 5 horas, las desviaciones son continuas por ejemplo: en la zona de los Coatlanes es casi de una hora para avanzar pocos kilómetros del nuevo trazo 3. Se requiere de un auto o camioneta alto para transitar por caminos hechos para maquinaria pesada 4. Además 4x4 hay subidas muy empinadas y aún seco el camino se torna difícil, con un poco de lluvia un auto 4x2 no la libra. 5. Prepárate para perder por lo menos una llanta (2 en nuestro caso) hay grava triturada y filosa en algunos tramos 6. Se requiere por lo Menos ir en dos carros por cualquier emergencia 7. No hay forma de conseguir agua ni alimentos en el trayecto. Por último aún con los Puntos anteriores no recomiendo transitar por esta carretera, en domingo había maquinas trabajando, entre semana deben ser más y al circular uno les retrasa su trabajo y pues nadie quiere que se atrasen. Cuando termine será una carretera espectacular, con hermosos paisajes, pero ahorita es peligroso.

I never been nowhere outside the US I’m from Boston Massachusetts USA. I think I detect a southern accent from you guys. I’ve been winging it myself and was just gonna get a place when I arrive. How did you guys get there from Puerto Vallarta or Mexico City? I got a direct flight New York to Puerto Vallarta and have to take another small plane to put in the Escondido. I’m thinking you did the same. How was the $29 room Near Zicatella beach? I’m coming solo but I’m thinking I want the AC as well. I watch more videos from you thank you

Hey! Thank you 😊 I hope that you have a great time in Puerto Escondido. We actually traveled to Puerto Escondido from Oaxaca city but definitely the easiest way to get there is to fly from larger cities in Mexico. You can also take buses but they take way longer. The hostel we stayed at near Zicatela beach was really nice. We liked the location a lot plus having a private room and A/C was awesome. The atmosphere was nice and there is a bar on the bottom level that stays open pretty late and is perfect for meeting new people! Have fun and safe travels.

Yes, but it requires extra research and money to make sure you're good to go. It can be annoying and tedious. If you're able to work in a somewhat noisy area and are flexible on the time, then going to the Villasol beach club in town during opening hours would work well for the conference calls and anything requires really steady wifi Otherwise, the highest wifi we had was 55 mbps and it was really reliable, at the more expensive Airbnb we mentioned at the end of the video. You can find those places, but it's not the norm. I recommend double checking the reviews and/or contacting the host to double check that the wifi is actually decent. The average for us was 2-5 mbps at most places in town and pretty spotty at best.

White fish ceviche, either with or without leche de tigre is the only true original Peruvian ceviche. But all other ceviches are Mexican, including shrimp ceviche, octopus ceviche, or a mix of different ones like fish/shrimp and octopus. Also, Mexicans eat ceviche with tostadas or crackers. Peruvians don’t traditionally eat ceviche with tostadas, as tostadas are Mexican.

I think it could be done for $400-$500 on a pretty normal budget, not counting the flight. A lot cheaper, half that, if you wanted to really budget, like a basic hostel with no AC, street food etc. There's a lot you can do on the cheap. Release baby sea turtles on Playa Bacocho: $5, a lot of boat tour options from $20-$40, surfboard rentals $10-$20 a day. Nice snorkeling for free. Lots of nights we ate dinner for just a couple dollars each on the Main Street in Puerto Escondido that runs beside Playa Principal. You could spend $700-$1000 easily if you wanted to live it up. Lots of nice, more luxury places to stay and eat in town as well.
