On This Page:Puerto Angel Travel Guide
Seventy-four kilometers (46 miles) southeast of Puerto Escondido and 50km (30 miles) northwest of the Bays of Huatulco lies the tiny fishing port of Puerto Angel (pwer-toh ahn-hehl). With its beautiful beaches, unpaved streets, and budget hotels, Puerto Angel is popular with the international backpacking set and those seeking an inexpensive and restful vacation. Repeated hurricane damage and the 1999 earthquake took its toll on the village, driving the best accommodations out of business, but Puerto Angel continues to attract visitors. Its small bay and several inlets offer peaceful swimming and good snorkeling. The village's way of life is slow and simple: Fishermen leave very early in the morning and return with their catch before noon. Taxis make up most of the traffic, and the bus from Pochutla passes every half-hour or so.
