Visitor Information

Puerto Escondido Tourism Office. Multilingual local resident, history buff, and culture guru Gina Machorro helms this handy information booth where you can pick up a brochure; book a dolphin, sea turtle, or fishing excursion; get directions on day trips; or find out about events happening in town. Her two-hour Saturday-morning walking tour (MX$300) begins with an authentic regional breakfast and offers an in-depth look at local history, cuisine, and indigenous traditions. The office usually closes for lunch from 2 to 4 and is open only until 1 pm on weekends. Av. Pérez Gásga s/n at Marina Nacional, El Adoquín, Puerto Escondido, Oaxaca, 71980. 954/582–1186. www.ginainpuertoescondido.wordpress.com.
