Puerto Escondido Hostels - Reviews and Rates

We arrived in Puerto Escondido late at night, so we didn´t do much that evening. The next day we went to visit a park with some tortoises and iguanas. It was ok but not as good as we were told. After that started a search to find a cheap but to get to Acapulco.

Ok. There is so much to write about, and so little time, so here's an abbreviated version of the past few days: So we left Oaxaca City in our family wagon (actually a minvan, but we called it a family wagon) which Jordi (a word melder, or welder like myself) dubbed the Fagon.

Its a sleepy little town with a population of about 20,000 and some of the best beaches we have seen so far. We are staying at a hostel called Tower Bridge, owned by some crazy British bloke who...

We went around the city. We met Sune and I think Torsten which had traveled for more than 3 months, one month in Cuba. Very nice chaps and very informative and gave us lot of tips. We planed to go out fishing early next morning with the local fishermen. In the afternoon we rented body boards and surfed in 5 meter high waves. Very scary but funny...
