Huatulco
Huatulco is one of the most enigmatic destinations. Its location, on the southernmost coast of Mexico, invites one to enjoy the tranquility and warm waters of the Pacific Ocean. The configuration of the Mountains of the Sierra Madre located along the coast of Oaxaca, creates mountains that sweep down to join the sea forming splendid calm bays to protect its beaches.
With extensive highways and a 45-minute flight from Mexico City, Huatulco retains its proximity to major cities in Mexico, USA and Canada. This is one of the preferred touristic destinations for domestic and foreign visitors.

Seen from the air, it is a spectacularly beautiful meeting place of a sea of mountains and the waves of the sea. Beaches splashed with stones in an almost Oriental rock garden and coastal lakes teeming with animal life are some of its most prominent features.
Bays
The beauty of the 9 bays formed along more than 35 kilometers of coastline, make Huatulco a unique heaven.
