Day 6 - Santa Cruz, Mexico

Arrive: Fri 04 February 2028 at 08:00 / Depart: Fri 04 February 2028 at 17:00

Where the Sierra Madre del Sur mountains meet the Pacific Ocean, you’ll find a charming resort town that boasts an incredible natural bounty: nine bays and so many beaches — dozens! — that the idea of a crowded beach become an impossibility. While Huatulco is well-equipped to welcome visitors, much of the area has been critically set aside for nature reserves… in this rainforest-rich destination you’re never far from the best of either of these worlds. The nearby Copalita River and its over 200 species is a birdwatcher’s paradise, plus there’s relics dating back to 500 B.C. still being uncovered at an archaeological site. The nearby artisanal town of La Crucecita features a verdant plaza-park that’s a local crossroads, and a church that’s home to an impressive edge-to-edge ceiling mural. Regional Oaxacan cuisine is among Mexico’s most iconic culinary exports — think tamales and tortillas — and you’ll find it’s well-worth enjoying these fresh from the source.

Ixtapa is a lively, modern infrastructure comprised of luxury resorts and residential areas residing on beautiful beaches along the Pacific coast. A photo stop at Playa Quieta, where you will be able to view the magnificent island of Ixtapa, is a must. Zihuatanejo, an Indian word meaning "river of the yellow water," is a small bay and resort discovered by tourists in 1940. At the time, the only access to the village was by the sea.
