Huatulco the unknown jewel of Mexicos pacific coast.

After the big succsess in Cancun, the mexican government planned an equivalent on the pacific coast. The result was Bahia de Huatulco.

The small fishing village, a small harbour for the pirates of the 16 th century was declared a prime tourist project in 1980.

Most of the coast line was declared a natural preserved area and all buildings are subject to tough guidelines and restrictions.

You wont find huge hotels here like in Cancun or other tourist places in Mexico. All buildings have to be related to the so called " Oaxaca style of buildings "
