¡Hola gueys! It turned out that writing a post per day is not really feasible – after all it’s vacations 😉
Therefore, I will skip the Sunday visits to La Pulga market and abuelita’s house in Xalatlaco and come directly to the juicy side of life: our 3-days trip.
If you think about México which images appear in your mind? Summer, sun, swimming shorts, palms and beaches, right?
Well, and you are not mistaken. Places like Cancun or Acapulco, indeed, are like that. Surely, that is also the image some organizations want to convey. But, ultimately, what is about the other 119 Mio people all over the country?
Mexico City for instance. In the day time temperatures above 30°C with burning sun can be enjoyed… In the nights, however, it’s cooling down to jaw-dropping 10°C. A delta of 20 degrees within one single day. (This is mainly due to its altitude of +2.200 meters). Therefore, don’t always expect México travelers coming back as Bronzen gods…
So, when Alexis announced that we will go on a 3-days mini trip, you might understand why I (while wearing pullover, long pants and house shoes) got pretty excited.
Now the twist: she didn’t disclose our destination, only giving rough directions: “it’s a domestic flight; we won’t go north; it’s not Cancun and neither Acapulco”. Right away canceling out my two hottest guesses…
Me going all-in to get it: Veracruz, Tulum, Puerto Vallarta, Los Cabos, San Luis Potosí, Guanajuato, Tuxtla … All wrong.
Taking an Aero Caminante bus, we arrived to lovely Benito Juarez International airport in DF and entered the boarding area through the security. When I was finally able to check the departures I thought I had it. Tapachula / Chiapas.
Well, to make it short: just at boarding I saw that we were heading towards Huatulco, Oaxaca. – And me having 0 ideas of what to expect.
1 hour flight and we arrived to freakin’ paradise!!!
Coming back to our mexican stereotype: palms, sun, blue sky and moisty humid heat. I only can refer again to the photos below…
We took a taxi to Las Crucecitas, a small town very close to the Pacific ocean, had some amazing seafood at the marisquería Lared right next to our hotel and enjoyed the rest of the day + sunset at the beach of Santa Cruz.
100% perfect day with a 100% worked out surprise.
Thank you!
