Take Me Back To Mazunte

As winter sets in my thoughts are on warmer destinations - places been and new places to discover.  Some of you will be yearning a Pacific Island but for me it’s a small beach town we visited in January on the Pacific Coast in Oaxaca, Mexico.  I'm not one for returning to a destination as it’s a big wide world out there and so many new places to discover but for some reason Mazunte has a strong calling for me to return.  Even it’s name conjures up magical thoughts, and that’s exactly what it is - Mazunte is actually one of Mexico's Pueblo Magico's (magical towns) and surprisingly it is relatively unknown.  Hopefully it will always be that magic place - with it’s huge translucent waves, amazing sunsets,  a place where turtles go to lay their eggs and whales come closer to shore than the cruise ships seen bypassing in the distance.
 
As a single in my 20’s I spent many years backpacking and discovering the world. Now as a mature adult with my grown children departing on their own life changing  travels, it is time to stop reminiscing and enjoy our own adventures.

As soon as we arrived in Mazunte I knew I had arrived at that special place, where I could relive my carefree past without feeling saddened as I often do by the effects modern living i.e. overcrowding, polluted waterways and rubbish strewn streets. Mazunte seems to attract the traveller who cares for their environment and lovers of nature. Its hippy vibe ensures your days are spent stress free, embracing the crystal clear waters of this 1km stretch of pristine beach and enjoying all that this beautiful area in Mexico has to offer.  
 
Mazunte is a hidden gem that leaves you feeling hopeful – that life may one day be simplistic and people will realize how important it is that places like Mazunte remain unscathed from today’s hectic lifestyle. I like to think that people will one day realize experiences are more important than possessions – a lesson myself is happy to learn and embrace. 

I have put together a video clip using photos taken on our recent travels to this magic place - Mazunte.

If I were the one who actually experienced the beauty of Mazunte, I will definitely feel the same way. I am not into beaches but if I were to see this, I will definitely love to go back as well. Anyway, your pictures are indeed so beautiful which I think is one of the reasons why you want to go back. To be honest, this is actually the first time I have heard of this place and I have to say that I already fell in love of the place. Thank you so much for showing those pictures to us. I will make sure to see some of your other travel blogs.

Can I just say what a relief to find someone who actually knows what they’re talking about on the internet? You definitely know how to bring an issue to light and make it important. More people need to read this and understand this side of the story. I can’t believe you’re not more popular because you definitely have the gift.
