The rustic beauty of our area on the Pacific coast of Oaxaca is tranquil and underdeveloped…it is not a place of paved streets, shopping malls and resort infrastructure.  If you are looking for an authentic experience of Mexico as it is, Puerto Angel is the place.  A small fishing village that has done little to “gentrify”, has a very real charm of its own, local families on the beaches and all the color of Mexican life happen right along side the activities of those that are visiting.

Angel Canyon Community is located within our small, private canyon off of Playa del Panteon, the second small bay of Puerto Angel. We are a two minute walk from the beach and a short drive away from all the gorgeous open ocean beaches along the coast.  It is no more than 15 minutes to reach these long, beautiful beaches with small palapas on them for fresh seafood with palm frond shade.  The myriad of interesting places to explore in the area are unending as well as the world class sports fishing along our coast line. A few destinations in our area that are always worth visiting are a large estuary up the coast that is a National Park called Chacahua as well as the local Turtle Museum that was originally conceived through a program to save the near extinct Golfina sea turtle.

For the benefits of resort-like infrastructure there is the Bahias de Huatulco resort that is 45 minutes away where you will find everything from a golf course to fast and reliable packaging services for correspondence abroad.  There is one international airport here as well as another in the town of Puerto Escondido which lies north along the coast and is another, larger town with further services. Escondido’s Zicatela beach is ranked third in the world for board surfing and an international destination for professional and amateur wave lovers.  With two international airports on either side of Puerto Angel and the benefits of the larger populations of both Huatulco and Puerto Escondido nearby, one can find all the services that make life easier when in Mexico without having to live in a tourist oriented resort environment.
