Someone wrote and asked about Zipolite and the local info, so I thought I would write a bit. Things here are definitely changing, the people are becoming a little more prosperous which is good for them but for us, the oldies, who remember the $50 a night room or the $10 peso a night hammock, those days are gone. It is still relatively cheap to live and vacation here, but it depends on your financial status, of course.
Internet is $15 a hour
Peanut butter $40 pesos a small jar
Jam $15 pesos a small jar
Oranges $1 each
Bananas $2 pesos each
camineta from Zipolite to Pochulta $10 pesos
taxi $100 from Zipolite to Pochulta
taxi $300 from Zipolite to Huatulco
collectivo $15 pesos from Poculta to Zipolite
dinners in zipo are about $80 or $90 pesos which is out of our budget
pizza at Francos and Georgios about $25 pesos
beautiful delicious prawns at La Provedencia $130 pesos...but so yummy
a room...$250 a night and up....that is with a bathroom
if you share, less.
eggs 3 for 5 pesos
bread 23 pesos big loaf 18 for small...I think
Cervezas $10 before deposit
