IS THIS PLACE BETTER THAN TULUM? | Exploring La Punta in Puerto Escondido

[@TravelWTravis]

Anyone else been to La Punta in Puerto Escondido? Let us know your favorite part about this neighborhood!

[@jessy_e]

meee :) my husband and I stayed in La Punta at Zicatela Hotel last May and fell in love! I’ve been to Tulum and Sayulita as well but Puerto Escondido stole my heart.

[@TravelWTravis]

@@jessy_e Ours too!

[@gabrielagoeckner350]

The best part is the unpretentious vibe!!!! I live here in PE and we’re definitely not Tulum. We love travelers and love our corner of paradise which is to be enjoyed without the self-importance.

[@TravelWTravis]

@@gabrielagoeckner350 So lucky!! Enjoy your beautiful slice of paradise!!

[@Vancouver_Dan]

My favorite part is leaving and going to somewhere on the coast where I can experience Mexican culture and pristine beauty.

[@ernestovargas853]

Wow! Beautiful kiss at sunset!!!

[@SatansTesticls]

“It’s like Tulum without the ego” You described it so well! La Punta is such a lovely place, I’m glad you had a lovely time there :)

[@mariapedraza248]

I visited Puerto Escondido in 1985 and there were only 2 hotels on the bluff. There only Mexican visitors and Surfers. I am happy to see your video and see that it hasn't grown much. It's a treasure. I remember the waiter at the hotel apologizing about the red snapper I ordered because it wasn't fresh, it was caught in the morning.🤗

[@TravelWTravis]

🤣🤣 it’s truly a gem (although we heard that they’re opening a direct flight from LA and Dallas at the end of the year 😬)

[@AjaArrow]

5:57 This scene made me look up the flights.😍

[@TravelWTravis]

it's truly a dream - they're opening up direct flights from LA & Dallas at the end of this year, so try and get there before the swarms do 😬

[@GringoLoco1]

You nailed Tulum with one word in the outro: Pretentious! It's the Kardashian beach town of Mexico 🤢🤢🤢 Glad to see David in sandals (without socks! 😉) at the beach! 😎

[@TravelWTravis]

❤️❤️❤️

[@marinitacochinita]

You guys seem so relaxed and happy - thank you for sharing your sunshine with us!

I'm really enjoying your beach trip. La Punta looks like great fun. Thanks for sharing it.

[@WanderfullyMe]

Okay... y'all got me trying to figure out how I can make a trip to Mexico work this year. I am.all about the kickback, lay back, chill for real vibe. Thanks for sharing!

[@TravelWTravis]

yeeees make it happen!! ❤️❤️❤️

[@gabrielagoeckner350]

Come down soon and try our fruit mezcalitas and the freshest and tastiest seafood.

[@oliviabrown261]

Beautiful sunset...1st kiss on screen...awww, I love love:) That golden lab looked so peaceful, sleeping.

[@AlmostRetiredinMexico]

I love those swinging chairs at the bar! I need to add that at my house.

[@GringosRUs]

I think my blood pressure came down 5 points just watching this. Way cool chill vibes. Thanks for sharing!

[@TravelWTravis]

haha doctors should recommend PE for exactly that!

[@legoshirocha]

Ugh I wanna be in Mexico right now 😩!!! Love that you guys are enjoying my country 🥰!!!!

[@TravelWTravis]

❤️🇲🇽❤️

[@cindykawa2492]

Really nice, guys! That sunset was fantastic!

[@JaypeaFoto]

Great video as always.

[@TravelWTravis]

❤️❤️❤️

[@goldvideo]

I just left Puerto Escondido a few days ago and it was my favorite beach town in Mexico. The chill vibe is totally pervasive, as you guys said, and I just fell in love with it and didn’t want to leave. I kept hoping I’d run into you guys but it didn’t happen. Just wondering if you checked out Dan’s Deluxe Cafe or La Olita during your stay.

[@TravelWTravis]

ah we didn't but we will next time!

[@goutfromfriedokra7099]

better than Puerto Morelos?

[@goldvideo]

I have never been to Puerto Morelos, so I can’t compare them.

[@nnamdi721]

Nice

[@PhilipSteeves]

Gorgeous beach, no doubt that!

[@fernandocelis3351]

Thanks a lot! I was kinda regretting not going to Tulum and opting for Puerto Escondido, but after watching your vid I'm sure I've made the right decision. I'll be traveling on the 25th. Greetings from Colombia!

[@TravelWTravis]

Oh we think you made the right choice!! Have a blast! ❤️❤️❤️

[@lose999]

So, who's going to try surfing? I love your Sunset smooches...😘

[@TravelWTravis]

We were tempted, but not at Zicatela!

[@susanarivera3658]

[@dannitycane25]

Wow. Look like where I might wanna move to. I was thinking merida at first. I wonder what the cost of living is like there.

[@mineralt]

You guys have too much fun❤️

[@TravelWTravis]

Guilty 😬

[@jenifertravelssolo5387]

Looks like my kind of place!

[@AjaArrow]

Ooooh I love this place.

[@conniepleasantnails]

Hole guacamole 🥑 how beautiful

[@alexdaneau186]

KAWABUNGA DUDE!!!!! :)

[@esbiermann62]

Hello - going to Puerto Escondido mid May - I wanted to know where are the working ATMS or money exchange places are exactly as you said they are very limited. And if you have any recommendations on airbnbs/hotels. TIA

[@TravelWTravis]

There is one ATM (which was broken when we tried it) in the zicatela area, but all of the banks are in Centro, which was about a ten min cab ride from our place. We listed the Airbnb we stayed in the description (which we obviously loved) but there are tons of great places all around. Hope that helps and have a great trip!!

[@Vancouver_Dan]

Comparing La Punta to Tulum hits the nail on the head - but not in a good way. There are so many beautiful beaches and bays on the Oaxaca Coast, and so much authentic Mexico to experience in PE and along the coast, why do so many people flock to what is becoming a generic (and overpriced) destination? Everyone is chasing the same wave, smoothie, acai bowl, iced coffee and instagram photo. A person could spend a week here and barely know they are in Mexico. You guys are talented and fun - why not introduce your subscribers to a place that hasn't been KZbind ad nauseam?

[@DouradaBambina]

They’re doing it! And I appreciate their approach tremendously!

[@landyli7813]

Nice video. I want to take my 2 year old son there, which beach do you suggest to stay?

[@TravelWTravis]

We loved being in the Zicatela area because walking over to La Punta was easy. (But the roads might be a little rough for strollers, fyi!)

[@tucsonazul]

Love!!! little villages like that, yes might be true that you can find them else where, but not for the price. Mexico has it all for much less.

[@robertorodela8400]

If your guys need any information about Escondido let me know and guys your videos are incredible, best vibes for you.

[@TravelWTravis]

Thanks so much!! ❤️❤️❤️

[@kennethmelville4632]

David you were a little tipsy by the end of this video weren’tcha? 😂

[@TravelWTravis]

haha nope - just happy and full 😂

[@miguelangelquezada6404]

They went to "La Punta", sin albur.

[@androidron1]

I wondered what happened to the Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles. Cowabunga, dudes! Turtle Power! ;)

[@TravelWTravis]

[@Ren_-ce7mu]

I really love the point when it was a secret now the secret is out….Uuuugh

[@manuelericmijangos499]

Thank goodness for the rough sea. Otherwise that place would be overdeveloped and overrun with tourists like the rest of Mexico. Tulum is an ecocide in the making; it is supposed to be a "protected area" but thanks to corruption and uneducated tourists, everyday the jungle is being replaced by new construction. The rampant construction of new hotels, restaurants and beach clubs is destroying the environment at a shocking pace. You should see the massive mountains of garbage rotting in open-air landfills in the middle of the jungle. The city of Tulum lacks the proper infrastructure to cope with the massive influx of tourists.

[@meatgravylard]

My backyard is better than Tulum.

[@medulla01]

My husband and I love your videos. But we did we a question. Do you guys ever visit gay places like bars or events? If so, why don't you ever cover it? No judgment at all, we were just curious.

[@TravelWTravis]

Haha we don’t really, mostly because most places (outside of the big cities) don’t have dedicated gay bars - and we’ve both never really been big bar/club people (gay or otherwise) to begin with!

[@medulla01]

@@TravelWTravisI totally get it. Again we LOVE your videos. We were just curious

[@TravelWTravis]

@@medulla01 thanks so much for the ❤️❤️❤️!

[@mininovacano6188]

Ya lo están destruyendo como a Tulum porfavor stop

[@bjones9942]

When I visited Puerto Escondido I stayed in a hostel in La Punta. I enjoyed it a lot. Something about Oaxaca food just makes everything taste so good too! And of course, watching surfer dudes on the beach with a beer and snacks can't be beat! Are you going to go up the coast? If you hit Acapulco please do a day trip to Barra de Coyuca, or at least Pie de la Cuesta. You won't regret it - excellent beach. Zihuatanejo is beautiful. Pricey, but beautiful. Manzanillo isn't very touristy - which gives it a whole different vibe. Puerto Vallarta is unique and is México's gay destination. I live in Mazatlán, so if you are doing a coast trip then msg me and I'll show you around.

[@TravelWTravis]

We can’t wait to explore all those places!
