BACKPACKERS PARADISE IN OAXACA 🌴 La Punta Travel Guide
Вставка
- Опубліковано 18 бер 2021
- La Punta is the most popular spot for backpackers in Puerto Escondido. It is located on the south side of Zicatela beach and is flooded with cafes, cars, restaurants and hostels. It is also one of the best spots to surf as a beginner in Puerto Escondido. Here is my guide for those looking to visit and/or stay in La Punta.

I consumed so many of your videos while I couldn’t travel and you single handedly influenced me to travel to Mexico for the first time in 2022. I’ll be visiting for the third time this summer. I’m obsessed 😅 so thank you!
That’s awesome! My pleasure 😊❤️
It's been a while since I looked, and WOW! You're at 136,000 subscribers! I am so proud of you. I look forward to your videos every week. I hope one day I can travel as much as you have. I am currently working on figuring out how I could work remotely doing jobs on the road and at least travel the US. But I hope to expand that and backpack as much as possible. You're an inspiration. Thank you for sharing your journey.
I just started my channel. It's a weird eclectic group of videos while I find my direction at the moment, but I would love if people stopped by and had a look. Thank you so much for any time you spend there. I hope it provides a good laugh. I like to think that is my purpose. Much love!
Yayyyy! New video ❤️ we’ve missed you!
Awesome video! I so wish I were there right now. Thanks for sharing such a wonderful place with us! Now I have to try to get there so that I could give the sunset a standing ovation!!!
This place looks sooo pretty 🤩 definitely added to my bucket list!!
So lovely to see you post, we've missed watching. And really nice to see you and Karen explore x
Thanks so much ❤️ it’s so fun having a friend to show around!
This has been added to my travel list! So pretty
Definitely a backpack hot spot in Mexico 😍
Starting my first big solo trip to panama and planning on traveling all through Central America, Mexico and the Caribbean island. This video got me hyped and I can’t wait to board the plane in 5 weeks!
You live in a paradise .every one looks so friendly. That's like the perfect spot to live.your videos are very well done nice sound ,the quality of the video its perfect.and you guys are beautiful like always. You guys take care of your selfs and God bless you guys.🙂🙂
I LOVED this video! So many nice tips, thank you so much!
Que buen video
Definitivamente la puesta de sol ☀️ es lo más atractivo de la punta y el hacer amigos de muchas partes del mundo 🌍
Dig Oaxaca! PE is next! Great tour in and out of the different parts of the strand and bays. Love the street food vid! Perfect to watch the series! Surfing 🏄♂️ vid section is “sic” great how you point out the levels and where a beginner break is! Thanks for this!
This place looks awesome, I can't wait to travel again!!! Thanks for all the tips!!!
Yaaaaaaaaaaaaay!!!!! You’re back. 👏👏
So glad you're back! Love your videos 😊
Thanks 🥰🥰
Its amazing how much this video makes me miss that place so much. great work!
Happy to transport you back 😊
I lived on La Punta, 2012 to 2014, this that you show is A WHOLE DIFERENT PLACE wow, now is super chic. When I used to live there it was just a couple of locals, Lychee, Frutas y Verduras Hostal, and Guadua. It was super quiet and not that party ambient, Zicatela was for party and La Punta to chill and reset. Now I feel old. Im 31 now and I was 22 back then.
I am SO impressed with your Spanish! It has been fantastic seeing your journey
Awesome video like always, I missing your videos already 😍🏖️🤗
We travelled all around Mexico, we loved Puerto Escondido so much that we stayed there for 3 weeks 😊
Any tips that stand out? I'm also going around Costal Mexico and will be in la Punta for 45d in less than 2 weeks
We were really impressed about how you got in there and learned and mastered the Spanish language. Great job speaking in Spanish. Now, all of us viewers would like to go and visit Puerto Escondido and all of Mexico. Thank you.
Please don't. It's becoming overrun with young hipsters.
I was so happy when I saw you posted a new video!
🥳🥳🥳
So glad to see Pepe’s still going!
Pepe is a legend lol! Dude can’t believe how much la punta has grown👀
Awesome video!! Like the way you showed the mapping. Thanks
Descubrí tu canal el día de hoy y tiene un contenido excelente
Con tus vídeos estoy practicando mi inglés con acento británico 😄
Saludos tienes un suscriptor más
😊
Great video,
Loads of information!
Cheers!!!
i got goosebumps when they clap 👏🏽 at sunset cus i was there for it a few years back 🥰🥰🥰 enjoy!
Aww bet it brought back some good memories 😊
@@BackpackingBananas hell yeah, great memories 🥰 specially that last sunset on new year’s eve, beach was great packed and the energy was so positive, had a great time 🤩
Looks beautiful - gorgeous beaches and great food.
Absolutely spoilt for choice!
2 years ago I stayed in an airbnb about a block and a half from the beach, and about 3 blocks north from central punta. Great little place with 3 beds, 2 loos, and 2 showers. I think I paid 65 CAD, so about 975 pesos per night. I found renting scooters and exploring was a good way to see the place, and as you know, there's lots to see!
Love your videos. Thx for sharing ☺️☺️
Counting down 77 days until I fly into Oaxaca! This video is amazing and getting me so excited! I hope you're well! 🇺🇲☀️🇲🇽
Amazing 🥳🥳🥳
How'd it go?
Seems like I have just missed you by a few weeks. I'm staying in Rinconada for a month or two and I totally love it here. Like you said it's way quieter. I love your travel vlogs Christiann plz keep them coming. I'm excited to see where you're going next. Have fun ✌️
Woww lovely to see you so many beautiful places you're exploring keep it up stay connected for more beautiful location really enjoyed your video
I was in Puerto Escondido 5 years ago and stayed in La Punta, but it was nothing like this! It's grown so much, it was tiny with 1 small hostel that was very very cheap! But even then it was my favourite spot :)
Looks like you and Karen had fun lovely Christie!!!! 💖
I Remember that time at El Abor when the power kept going out.. we were doing Improv night in the back. Such a WildTime.. 14:11 and the Pho was so Good!!
this is a great video, very informative and makes me want to visit. Thank you!
So nice to see La Punta again. I've been there last november, but only for like two days. Definitely need to go back.
Also, the editing of this video was GREAT! That camera quality thoughhhhhh👌🏼👁
Thanks for the video, Christianne! Should be checking out PE in January! :-)
I stayed in bonita escondida a month ago it’s amazing!! Beds are so dreamy
Love.all your videos! Pleas post more often.
Wowww México it’s so beautiful, fantastic , amazing
I really feel like I have forgotten what it is like to travel over the past year in covid times. Loved this video but also made me sad knowing what we are missing!
Love your vlogs❤️❤️❤️
You have no idea how much I need a jolly after watching this
Great Video!
I’m going next month ... great timing for this video haha xx
Ok, loved the video! I surfed that point in 1980! Get this. It was nothing but cow Pasteurs , open fields all the way including zicatella beach. We stayed on a farm at zicatella beach. Coming into summer if you are there the surf is going to get huge! Surfers from all over the world come here. It’s one of the best waves on the planet. The place I nearly drowned! Take videos! But stay out of the water, very dangerous. Love all the new healthy places to eat you are showing. Non of that was there. Mainland Mexico is very beautiful!
Wow! Incredible! Nice rides on the surfboard! Turn right at the 7 + 1 mini Super! La Punta! Very informative and very thorough with a ton of details. Great camera! Great audio! And, of course, great editing! So many tourists right now. Thank you for posting another video. Watching from Los Angeles! Waiting for your next video. Steve Miller. Already hit the thumbs up button. Your video has great energy! Nice to see that you are using the green scooter. Please and thank you. If Karen is going to a hostel, will you be staying in Puerto Escondido?
Thanks so much Steve!
Your videos are giving me so much life right now. So so beautiful 😍
Great video!
I will probably be here the second week of April soon after Chiapas. Thank you! 😁
Nice! Enjoy 😍😍
ugh this makes me what to travel again
Shouldn’t be too long now!
@@BackpackingBananas hopefully you're right!! 🙌🏼
great info. thanks
La Punta seems like a fun place! Puerto Escondido is definitely on my list. And oh the tacos!! I love tacos and would probably eat them everyday 😂 Hopefully the world opens up soon so we can travel normally again. Lovely video as usual! 😍
So many tacos 🤤🤤🤤
@@BackpackingBananas favorite spot in Mexico for a 3-4 day vacay?
@@jeffyeah4256 Depends on what vibe you want, I've been at Selina Tulum for the past 3w and it's definitely a paradise bubble for young party vibes. Not cheap, but definitely an experience I'll remember for a long time.
watching this while filling out the census
Never made it to Oaxaca but looks like a must visit!
Good advice at the end
I want to go to Mexico sooooooo much lately. I'll be going summer 2022 thankfully, so I have lots of time to plan.
Endless places to explore as well 😍😍
8:19 - 'snack' lol. That thing is huge! :D
😂😂 definitely more of a main meal than a snack haha
I am watching this vlog from La Punta now!!! If you want to try the best grilled tuna or burgers try also Alaburger, it’s on the main road! 10/10
Any more tips? I'll be there in 2w for about 45d
Omg I’m dying to have some authentic Latin and Mexican food. And of course... travel again to Latin America. Missing this so much! Loving your videos 🧡
Same here! All the food looks amazing!!
What a beautiful place!
You and Karen make a great vlog pair.
I'm doing the Colive package with Selina, I've been in Tulum for the past 3w, going to Isla Mujeres 10d, then off to La Punta in Puerto Escondido for about 45d, then Puerto Vallarta for 8d, and back to Canada for the summer ☀☀
Awesome video, so entertaining! I have been learning to surf in Hawaii so this video reminded me of my experience too! I will have to make some travel videos about surfing in Oaxaca too! How long do you plan to stay in Oaxaca for? Is it a great place to stay for a long time?
heading to puerto escondido in a few weeks !!!!
Thanks for video 💐
Pleasure 😊
The Point or La Punta refers to the southernmost section of Playa Zicatela and the point of land at the southern end of the beach. Although the northern end of Playa Zicatela is more developed and more popular with tourists, The Point beach area is favored by surfers.
I love Karen’s style!! You guys always look so pretty!!!
Those tacos with coco 😍😍🤤 🤤
I am so desperate to travel again!! Living out my Mexico dream through these guides x
More to come! You’ll be fully prepared when then time comes 🙈
Will be there in 5 days it was my favorite place to live out of everywhere in mexico
Okay you just convinced me. I'm gonna do my first solo trip here!
🤘🤘
Saludos desde mazatlán! Hermosa
Que buenos vlogs! Saludos de México wera
y'all made me laugh at the oysters part!!
This places so beautiful
A real gem 💎
Christiana "like I'm a celebrity" Christy, you are a celebrity in our house !
😂😂😂 then it’s even more accurate! Just need to ship me off to Australia and get a safari hat 🤠
@@BackpackingBananas I have one, Original Aussi hat co. like the bush tucker man. All you have to do is pick it up from us 30 km SW of Poitiers, France. Bring it back, that gives us old farts 2 chances to chat about your adventures. We might even take you out around the bay on our boat at La Rochelle.
I never understand why people actually pay for surf lessons when they could just youtube a tutorial for free. Great vids Christianne.
Over the past four five years La Punta has become the hipster-glamour place that’s a shame it’s been spoiled a bit and more expensive. It remains the better place for sunset.
i hate it but at the same time im happy for the locals
very nice place and food 😍🇰🇭
Agreed!
God bless you and your family
Youre looking gorgeous and beach babe (: lovely video x
Awesome
🥳🥳
*Viva Oaxaca*
*Viva Mexico* 🇲🇽
Can you do weekly videos ? So fun to watch !
Hi ,i am impressed !! Nobody care wear a mask ,life in total relax...😲
I love this video and I will definitely be going to la punta!! I was just wondering how the covid situation is in puerto escondido because no one seems to be keeping distance, and if the covid situation there is under control I will definitely be going there!!
Regulations are literally changing all the time but when I was there, I didn’t know a single person with the virus.. masks were mandatory to have on you. Police would come around the streets and check and could arrest/fine you if you didn’t have a mask. Social distancing was not enforced. As far as I’m aware, the Mexican president still tells everyone to hug each other
Hey! Great video and amazing tips!
I’m going to Puerto Escondido in a week, can you tell me where you did the horse riding tour? 🙌
What a beautiful place it seems,, but definitely visiting when the things are not as crazy. People live like there's not pandemic over there haha Im impressed
You get arrested if you don’t have a mask on you so it’s not quite normal living yet 😅
Those tacos 😍
🤤🤤🤤
So gorgeous 😻
Hey! Great video 😍 I was wondering how it is to travel during covid. Apart from the facemasks, things seem to go as normal. What is your experience? Did you hear of the virus spreading around in hostels? Do people keep distance in bars/hostels? Not that I am planning to go anywhere soon, just curious!
Just a tip for everyone out there: wear zinc when surfing or you’ll end up like me 🦞🦞🦞😂
Gotta get that clear zinc 👀
Fabio! Por supuesto 🧐
So excited to see where you go from here! Do you know how long you plan on staying in the UK now that you’re home?? ❤️❤️
Honestly I haven’t got a clue. With current restrictions, I can’t see myself going anywhere soon! But I’ll deffo keep my eye on countries that are safe to travel once my passport is renewed
@@BackpackingBananas sounds like a great plan! I’m glad your quarantine went well and you’re safe at home now 😊
@@BackpackingBananas Say what was the average price for a cerverza ?
Hello, thanks for all the info! Would you say its best to stay further towards the beach and southern corner of La punta? I have decision paralysis
