In addition to enjoying its beaches, you will live endless activities that will become unforgettable experiences
During the health contingency due to COVID-19, tourists had to take shelter in their places of origin, or even look for a place to live during confinement and spaces such as beaches, all over the world, began to be deserted.
The cessation of mobility and commercial activities greatly affected tourist destinations and many businesses of various lines established near the beaches saw their finances at risk and some even their permanence.
After five months, in some cases, and almost half a year, in others, in Mexico many beaches have begun to receive tourists, with the pertinent sanitary measures, but others continue to present risks.
The safest beaches in Mexico
In Santa María Huatulco, in the state of Oaxaca, from the beginning of the health emergency measures were taken to contain the outbreaks of the new disease and today it is the destination in Mexico with the least accumulated cases.
Practices such as the compulsory use of face masks -or pain of suffering a fine- and healthy distance, in addition to other measures such as sanitizing mats, the application of disinfectant gel, and taking temperature, among others, became daily in Huatulco.
This timely response by the public and the authorities allowed this beautiful destination in the Mexican Pacific to be – since last July – one of the first in the country to reactivate its tourism sector.
What awaits you in Huatulco
In addition to its extensive area of beaches and lush vegetation, in this paradisiacal place, you will be able to carry out countless activities that will make your stay an unforgettable experience.
Here you will not only have beach tourism, but you can also opt for ecotourism since Huatulco is endowed with wonderful nature. But if you prefer to enjoy all the comfort possible, it has all-inclusive hotels.
At night you can walk through its quiet streets, enter a bar or stroll in Crucecita, the largest population center in the municipality, taste a good mezcal, something that you should definitely do if you go to Oaxaca, and delight yourself with its exquisite cuisine.
