Puerto Escondido Centro Travel Guide

Tourist Guide

We have never seen as many dolphins as we did when off the coast of Puerto Escondido. We saw both white tail and spotted, and literally HUNDREDS of them just playing all around us.

A morning tour with Deep Blue Divers took us up and down the coastline to see dolphins, sea turtles, and even a 25 ton humpback whale with her baby.

25 min in line to check out, when there were 2 parties in front of me seemed excessive. Politeness is not their strength, so I couldn't tell why the process took so long.
