Very well done. Great way to start vlog. Now I'm hungry. Should be in Puerto by mid-March. Your video has helped with my orientation to the area. Sunset shots make me want to be there now... Gracias!

[@PranNarang]

I’m so happy to hear that! You’ll love Puerto! The sunsets out there are honestly out of this world

[@satishnair7347]

Cool video! Jaw dropping scenery and yes, Mexico is definitely inviting. Good job, Pran!

Amazing video… I grow up In Puerto Esc. But I am living in New Jersey now ….it’s awesome to see home again .. Thanks

[@PranNarang]

Great job! what a beautiful place ! I hope i can visit it in a couple months. I love everything about it.

[@koyotecow7102]

Great editing and commentary

[@reisagarc7777]

I stayed in La Punta a couple months ago and it was amazing. The Oaxacan coast it's an incredibly peaceful place, perfect to disconnect. It's also perfect to practice snorkeling and diving, can't wait to be back one day!

[@PranNarang]

It really is!

[@felipecasas5852]

I love the chill vibe, I have to add Thiam place to the list, thanks for the videos, very informatives.

[@PranNarang]

Thank you so much! Yes, you should! It's absolutely beautiful :)

[@NNinWonderland]

Hi thanks for the vids. Watched few. Am checking where to stay for 2 or 3 months. La punta or zicatella or the turtle area. Going w my 5y old son. Also need to find a nursery or school around. Any tips where to stay and to find a school or so?

[@josemartinez-kd3dr]

Wowwww México it’s so amazing, beautiful, fantastic and obviously you’re so handsome

[@PranNarang]

Haha thank you! I agree, Mexico is absolutely stunning!

[@francismcfarlane9434]

I'm facing the same problem (which you didn't answer) traveling alone , with stuff and a need to jump into the ocean!...often! I was thinking lifeguard stand ?

[@hildagomez8310]

Gracias por este hermoso video!! 🙏🏼♥️

[@hectoramezquita6357]

secret? are you kidding me? As a resident since 2009 I can tell you this is very superficial, you don't happen to mention where the trash goes, that mexicanas get pay 200 pesos for the day and La Punta is already super expensive for most, we have problems with the water supply since the infrastructure is the same as in 1990´s when it really was a hidden spot, there's been a lot construction (cement) at the cost of cutting many wonderful trees, yes Is still beautiful, and I think you don't have a bad intention but this video doesn't help, if you loved the place, you will be doing us a favor if you take it down. Respect.

[@rubenmartinez5170]

Love your videos!!

[@PranNarang]

Cheers brother 🙌

[@NomadShifu]

Although its name translates as “Hidden Port,” Mexico's Puerto Escondido is no secret and has long been a favourite among surfers and backpackers. ... Puerto Escondido is definitely one of the best places to visit in Mexico.

[@PranNarang]

I agree 🙌🏻 it’s my favourite place in Mexico

[@bananapatch9118]

Prices seem very high. Are you going to all of the touristy places ? Are there local spots a few blocks from the beach ? Thx !

[@PranNarang]

Yes most of the places around La Punta and Zicatela are pretty touristy and definitely more expensive! I’ll be talking more about prices in the next video and where to find cheap local spots so hopefully that will give you some insight :)

[@bananapatch9118]

@@PranNarang Thank you. We are researching possible retirement cities so mostly curious about total long term costs. Thx !

[@nancydugas3022]

Good God, man. You have to start wearing a hat! The sun is going to crush you every day if you don't start protecting yourself from the heat. Love your videos and thanks for sticking around for the sunset. Stunning.

[@PranNarang]

Haha you're absolutely right! I need to smarten up and start wearing hats 😅 Anyway, thank you for your kind feedback :)

[@bananapatch9118]

Guesstimate of long term cost of living for a retired couple ? Thx !

[@PranNarang]

I'd say between $1400 - $2500 for a couple :)

[@pikeythepixie]

It's not when u blast it online like this 😓 all the secret spots around the world are being blown up thanks to modern day times. FCK technology 😓

[@emilydickey1490]

yay!

[@ovh992]

Your pronunciation was funny until I Realized you were saying "Porto" Escondido. It is "Puerto" - pa werto. Glad you enjoyed yourself. You are very 🥰 cute.

[@bigboibug]

A secret is not a secret when you shout it to the world. I hope you consider the impact of posting videos like this. Puerto Escondido’s infrastructure, environment, and locals cannot the handle the skyrocketing growth created by videos and hype like this. I know your intentions are probably to share a beautiful place, grow your channel, and make a rad video, but this does not help Puerto Escondido.

[@albertolobato6421]

❤️❤️❤️

[@PranNarang]

Thank you 🙏

[@petethalheimer8843]

It's not a secret when you tell the world on youtube.

[@neilmarshall3071]

I think it’s a play on the name of the place

[@konstantinoslondon]

I visited Puerto Escondido and I stayed in the Punta area, unfortunately I didn't get the vibe, the place it’s beautiful but the people (not the locals) very snobbish and pretentious hippies !

[@onefabianquintero]

wow nice video style I'm definitely going with my girlfriend

[@Outdawrzman]

I heard there’s a dog problem and there’s shit absolutely everywhere. Comment?

[@PranNarang]

There’s stray dogs in town but honestly they’re all pretty friendly and I never saw them as a problem!

[@gmac5556]

I agree, this trend of posting places that some of us have been going for years and blowing them up totally sux. Is it really worth the menial amount of $ to ruin places like this. Not thoughtful

[@elpezleta]

Don´t come to Puerto!!!. ITs alrady fucked up by gentrification, vlogers and influencers that made videos like this one

[@PranNarang]

Lol and that is a bad thing?

[@elpezleta]

@@PranNarang off course for the people that live here

[@carlosjm]

A secret, are you serious ??? Dude, thousands and thousands of travelers come here every year. How is this a secret ??

[@iamb2348]

People like you and videos like this are why places like Puerto Escondido get ruined. Why feel the need to share to the masses when you find a gem?

[@rogeroliveras1115]

Es una basura de lugar
