In dry season, by the absence of foliage in the trees, this forest allows you to appreciate a great diversity of birds. We also saw small rodents, lizards, and even a snake. Highly recommended to rent bikes in Huatulco and take the road to playa Cacaluta, but have to leave very early to avoid the worst heat, and bring plenty of water. Not to be missed.View original

Absolutely incredible place with 15 other people at the beach during the day. You have to take a 70 peso taxi to the entrance and walk 40 min to the beach, but this walk is amazing with lots of butterflies and iguanas on the way. Bring the repellent and the sunscreen! Phones don't work there, so think in advance how will you get back! We had to walk another 10 min until we found the taxi near the other beach.

Huatulco was a stop for Holland America cruise ship and we took a boat trip to the national park and swam in wonderful very clean warm water. Had a great time. There are no sewer plants discharging any affluent at all in Hualtuca. The captain was very proud of that. Also no hotels are allowed in the park bay.

Perfect place to go snorkeling and enjoy a refreshing coconut drink. Make sure to eat before going to the island and take snacks as the food was not well cooked.
