Huatulco Travel

Their unique characteristics, such as exceptional beauty, and proximity to important cultural and colonial attractions combined with a perfect balance between cultural and natural resources make them ideal for attracting international tourism. Surrounded by the Sierra Madre del Sur jungle, the nine spectacular bays, San Agustin, Chachacual, Cacaluta, Maguey, Organo, Santa Cruz, Chahue, Tangolunda and Conejos, in addition to thirty six beaches, represent a great option for visitors, with excellent tourist facilities and attractions. Huatulco, which means, "Where wood is worshipped", in the Mixteco-Zapoteco language, is a tourism development that has been specifically planned around the conservation of its local wildlife. As a result, it is also considered around the world as an ecological resort. The project of Huatulco's Bays, located (CIP's) at the south of Oaxaca's state, is the last of five centers integrally planned by the National Trust Fund for Tourism Development (FONATUR). Its operation began at the end of 1988. It possesses a coastal band of about 21.9 miles of length and 4.4 miles of width in the interior side of the Sierra Madre del Sur.
