best video ive watched on Puerto so far

[@MathewAbadi]

Best puerto video I've watched, great job!

[@richmorg1243]

I really enjoyed your video on Puerto Escondido . Very informative. I was in PE last President's Day Weekend, 2022. Really did alot for the short time was there. I got there on Saturday at around 11Am, My hotel was Hotel Acuerios at Playa Zicatela. It was too early to check in, so i ate next door at Argentinos. Then rested a couple hours at the beach and went to check in. I rested at the hotel cause I was tired from flying all night and driving to the Tijuana Airport from Los Angeles Later I went by taxi to LA Punta to see the Sunset. That was awesome! Then at night I visited this night outside market that sold lots of handmade items. Then on Sunday after breakfast, I visited by taxi Playa Angelito. There I unexpectedly went on a boat ride and saw a sea turtle . Later I went on this packed little bus to visit. Mazunte, and Zipolite. It .was very memorable to see a part of Mexico I knew nothing about. Thanks to KZbin, I was prepared on what I would see. Planning to go again next year.

We are here right now. My take. La Punta is a party young vibe zone. It has very little to do with Mexican culture. It's very over priced, and busy! But hey, if you want a million options in Acai bowls, this is your spot! This is NOT our vibe. Where all the cool kids hang? More like under 20 hippy/squatter crowd vibe willing to spend money for that "vibe". Getting around…we used the Collective…easy, and only 12p per person along the highway. Also, you keep calling the town Puerto….that just means "Port".

Hope you enjoyed your stay! I’ve been going to puerto for about 35 years. And have seen it change for the better. In the last 6 years to food game is way better.

[@MaximilianoNoriega]

There are still some wonderful places to discover! Even better when seen from your point of view! Always good to check new vids in your channel.

[@estefanyrodz]

Great video! by far the most enjoyable on Puerto Escondido

[@ramanjotkaur2046]

Yayyy !! You are back 🥳 Great video 😍

[@JustinPooreVlog]

I'm back!

[@soulfulwapechi]

You did such a great job with this breakdown! I am traveling there soon for a surf trip and this was very helpful.

[@JustinPooreVlog]

Thanks man. Have fun and go check out Chihuahua for a chill surf spot about an hour outside of town. Go stay there for a few days on the beach.

[@OurFreedomYears]

Thanks for this helpful video! We just booked a month in Puerto Escondido and your travel guide really helped paint a picture of what to expect when we land.

[@JustinPooreVlog]

Glad I could help! Have fun

[@RagnarLothbrok2222]

Will be heading hear to surf this march!

[@scottbalzer1817]

I’m a senior adult male. It’s been a dream to visit Puerto, and…. ideally not leave. A couple questions. 1) How’s the Latin dance scene? 2) How easy is it to find organic foods, true fresh juice bars, paleo or gluten free meals, health food stores or might the mercado meet that need? 3) How about some jazz or blues or even old country music. And if I were lucky enough to find a crazy lady willing to dance close with this ole codger….. 😊 what’s the chance of finding some easy listening slow dance music? 4) What’s your idea of security concerns around town? Thanks for your response. All are welcomed. Oh, one more! 5) How insane are the restrictions if something like Covid strikes. I’m old but one for personal freedoms and not one for the jabs and breathing restrains. Thx!!!

[@travelrefocused]

Great video. Not sure it is so "hidden" anymore, but a gem... yes. We are leaving Oaxaca City and heading to Puerto Escondido in a week. So looking forward to it. I hope you were able to get out a bit while stuck in Mexico City for a night. We loved that city. Safe travels brother.

[@JustinPooreVlog]

Oaxaca is amazing. Have fun in Puerto :)

Thanks Andrew! Gotta find more ways to make stuff with BT

Awesome video! Everything you need to know & great quality conten. Thank you Justin!

You are welcome :)

[@mexicanito5048]

You forgot the free salsa lessons that offers different clubs, hotels etc. My flight was on time when I had to back to Mex city by the way. Super informative video 💕🇲🇽

Great vlog! really enjoyed this one! just wish we saw before we travelled Puerto Escondido. Subscribing

Hi guy welcome back

[@Dab3s]

thanks for the vid, very high production value!

[@terenasimons2787]

I want to go here this Dec, thanks for the great tips!!!

[@lazomau]

awesome video, thanks!

[@Vancouver_Dan]

I have spent a lot of time in Puerto Escondido and absolutely despise La Punta. Most of the visitors there have their heads deeply imbedded up their butts: they have no interest in Mexico or Mexican culture, minimal interest in nature and are profoundly disrespectful to the locals. You hit the nail on the head with your comment about Bali - it is so sad that young people are attracted to generic, interchangeable destinations like Tulum, Bali and what they are now doing to La Punta. Everyone is chasing the same wave, the same smoothie, the same acai bowl, the same rave music and the same social media posts. There are endless spectacular beaches on the Oaxaca Coast. People watching this video should make an effort to see them.

[@JustinPooreVlog]

Agree with all this.

[@shastica]

Agree. I live in Mérida, 3 hrs from Tulum I was lucky to visit it several times before the Instagram genéric people, dj, vengan bla bla . Now I hate it the drug dealers are harrassing you in the streets, restaurants and bars. The crime Is even worst.

[@iamwatergirl]

Where do you recommend to stay? I'm a solo female traveler, not a partier

[@taboobunny9186]

Was going through my KZbin subscriptions today, and I came across your channel. Used to watch your videos regularly when you started out your channel, but somehow i stopped when the pandemic hits. I just want to say that I am so glad to find that you are still making and uploading videos. Will definitely keep an eye out for your future videos. P/S: So happy to see that you both are still together. Yay!!! I miss her too.

[@JustinPooreVlog]

Thanks man! Appreciate the kind words, they always help fuel the desire to keep posting and welcome back to the channel :)

[@dxvegas4412]

Benito Juárez Market* Definitely recommend checking that out next time you're there my dude 🤙🤙

[@MrGMountain]

Loved your shooting.

[@Carol.69]

Grasias por tu lindo video 😘🙏

[@user-rm4xl3xf4k]

Great video!

[@JustinPooreVlog]

Thanks! Hopefully it was helpful for you :)

[@denizciftci1780]

Hey, your video was stunning! And thank your for the tips. I am going to visit Puerto Escondido in February. Could you tell me where you found the whale/dolphin watching tour, you made?

[@JustinPooreVlog]

Thanks for watching! The number for the guy is in the description. But you can also find guys on the Playa Principal beach coming back from tours and ask them directly for pricing and info.

[@5hf2024]

Back to Bali. More colorful here. More new restaurants open.

[@yazminmojica4458]

Lvd it 👍💯💕 11:16

[@Fatelvis2]

how long of a layover in Mexico City do you suggest ?

[@agustin1012]

Great guide. Hey out of the blue question but is there a beach volleyball crowd in Upper Puerto? I know there's one in La Punta but I'm curious about if there's another spot. Thanks!

[@JustinPooreVlog]

I only know of the one in La Lunta. There is a more serious volleybally scene in Puerto but I don't much about it because it's mainly locals and people who are actually good.

[@agustin1012]

@@JustinPooreVlog Gotcha, thank you!

[@graceeverett-jarema2726]

Hey! Great video!!! I’m going to go by myself mid April, any recommendations on actual places to stay? Do you recommend just staying in La Punta and leaving your stuff there and going all over that way while having a base in La Punta? Thanks so much :)

[@JustinPooreVlog]

Look up Casa De Olas. They are a great place to stay in La Punta. I would stay there and then taxi around to explore other areas around Puerto.

[@graceeverett-jarema2726]

@@JustinPooreVlog Thank you! :)

[@misslola089]

LoL it aint a scooters and rainbows!!!🤣

[@LM1chelle]

Hi! Which airline did you guys use that was 2 hours late? Now you have me scared of getting stuck :(

[@JustinPooreVlog]

Aero Mexico. All the airlines are late. It's just how it is there.

[@katebts7524]

Would you have any recommended airbnbs to stay in while in puerto?

[@JustinPooreVlog]

Casa De Olas is a great boutique hotel in the heart of La Punta that I recommend.

[@WeiFinder]

I've been told internet is on 33% of the time? Like every 2-3 days it goes off? Is that true, because I really want to come but gotta work throughout the day randomly

[@JustinPooreVlog]

Ya internet is not always great. There is a Selina Coworking in Zicatella that I have worked from and it was always reliable.

[@iamwatergirl]

But where to stay? What boutique places do you recommend to stay?

[@JustinPooreVlog]

Casa De Olas is a great place to stay in La Punta.

[@iamwatergirl]

@@JustinPooreVlog thank you. it looks nice

[@peterdecroos1654]

whats the cafe situation for working remotely?

[@JustinPooreVlog]

There is a Selina Coworking in Zicatella that is great for remote working and reliable. Outside that, the wifi can be spotty in Puerto. There are cafes scattered throughout that have wifi and are good for sending emails, but if you need to do serious work I would recommend the Selina

[@grainofsalt2113]

aww you left South Africa?

[@JustinPooreVlog]

I know! Don't worry I'll be back to Cape Town later this year

[@RagnarLothbrok2222]

Also, hows the night life buddy?

[@JustinPooreVlog]

Night life can be really fun, and it depends on when you go. Some months its really pumping and some months its super chill. La Punta is your best bet for a good night life scene.

[@RagnarLothbrok2222]

@@JustinPooreVlog appreciate the input bro!

[@alvadelgado5399]

Is Puerto Escondido near huatulco ?

[@pietrolazo]

Two hours by bus

[@tyrrhenians6680]

I know puerto escondido for a movie of 1992

[@yuma419]

What is the covid situation there? I saw no one wearing a mask in the vidoe.

[@JustinPooreVlog]

People act like Covid doesn't exist here, and nobody was wearing masks. It didn't feel unsafe, but it's not something that people cared about.

[@RagnarLothbrok2222]

@@JustinPooreVlog Exactly what I want to hear. Nice to see people LIVING. I will be booking a trip

[@KT66969]

Why are the tours so much more expensive if you look to book online?

[@JustinPooreVlog]

No idea. Maybe we got a better price because it was a less touristy time of year or maybe because we negotiated in person and didn't book it online.

[@lorinash]

Damn, all those boats SO close to the humpbacks...hopefully the whales came to them as opposed to the boats chasing them down.

[@JustinPooreVlog]

Ya we thought the same thing when we saw all the boats.

[@badvideo169]

too f expensive at 25 to cook ur catch!

[@icysurfer1]

And, they usually keep some of it.

[@truestory923]

Although your video is well laid out, chock full of great tips, you left out the part where you give back... Puerto Escondido is supremely suffering from tourism overload, issues around garbage disposal, water, and housing area just a few. Do better, please don't just encourage people to come and exploit the area. You've got a platform to make change, and yet...?

[@WuTangDavis]

You didn't mention puerto angelito . Where all the fishing boats are
