Overview
Huatulco (formally Bahías de Huatulco) is a stunning resort destination located on the Pacific coast of Oaxaca state, Mexico. Renowned for its nine pristine bays and 36 beautiful beaches, Huatulco stands out as a planned eco-tourism development that prioritizes environmental sustainability. Unlike some other Mexican resort areas, it maintains a more authentic and laid-back Mexican charm, surrounded by lush jungle and the majestic Sierra Madre del Sur mountains.
The region offers an incredible array of outdoor activities, from snorkeling and diving in its clear waters to exploring its national park and engaging with local communities. Huatulco truly embodies a Pacific paradise, blending natural beauty, adventure, and responsible tourism.

Dive into the underwater wonders of the National Park, which protects much of the region's coastline and marine life. The waters offer visibility for snorkeling and diving among coral reefs and abundant fish.
Tip: Many boat tours to the bays include snorkeling stops within the park.
Take an excursion to the coastal town of Mazunte to visit the National Mexican Turtle Center. Learn sea turtle conservation efforts. You can enjoy Mazunte's laid-back, bohemian atmosphere and beautiful beach.

For an adventure, experience rafting or kayaking on the Copalita River. Tours range from gentle floats suitable for families to more exhilarating rapids, offering a unique perspective of the jungle and local wildlife.
