A secret spot on the Oaxacan coast... (near Puerto Escondido)

Chacahua, Mexico is an incredible place off the typical tourist trail where you can slow down and enjoy some unspoiled beaches. In this video I'll show you what's so great about Chacahua, while also reflecting on "hidden gems" in general and how you can find them wherever you go.

Went there in the ‘80’s and couldn’t find the place to catch the boat, so we ended up and drove there. I don’t remember restaurants or bungalows being available to rent, or much of anything on the beach. Surf was kind of mushy and I was the only one out. Beautiful spot . I

Decent waves, empty lines, hard to get to, nature! Bro you find paradise! Are the Crocs in the ocean? Love your content. Keep going!

[@indietraveller]

No crocs in the ocean or near the town. Paradise indeed!

My friend was just there before visiting us here in Zipolite(where I live). Chacahua is a local fave spot!

Hurricanes on the Pacific coast of Mexico are a phenomena of the climate apocalypse. I was there in the hot season of April. Next trip will be November through January. It is spectacular and rustic, especially the mangrove forest. The beach is huge. The local community is Afro-Mestizo. A ways off the grid and worth it, big time.

I love your channel man. Thank you for showing us Chacahua! My friend was telling me I need to go. It looks like I do need to. Subbing for life and going through your other videos!

[@indietraveller]

Haha, glad you enjoyed this, and thanks for the hard sub!

[@michaeldonovan3959]

PS: Find Pablo in the village who will do guided tour from sunset into the night in a small boat. DO NOT JUMP INTO THE WATER in the mangrove forest. Thousands of crocodiles.

Video is well done, but I hate how these videos destroy the last hidden gems and make them tourist hot spots

[@indietraveller]

Yeah that's always a risk, but if that happens there will be other new hidden gems. If we only talk about existing hotspots there will be overtourism everywhere... we've got to spread out!

[@ginasalinas7892]

I live next to chacuah, those are all built to be tourist spots, they want patrons. The entire economy in Oaxaca depends on tourism. But they have been calling puerto the hidden gem. It's because Escondido means hidden

[@ginasalinas7892]

Those are the richest places around actually, that's better than 90 percent of the population lives. None o of us locals can afford to go there, it's because they get overflow tourism from Puerto. If you find a local we can show you mangroves that you can't find on a hundred dollar tour with a motor boat

CHAKA-HuA 🤣

[@michaeldonovan3959]

It's "Cha Kah Wah!"

[@indietraveller]

Haha I keep being corrected on my pronunciations, thanks! I should not take my cue from other gringos 😂

Underwater now
