June through September are the wet/humid months, but are also the greenest and most beautiful. October through February are considered to be the best times to visit, being the driest months of the year, but with most of the surrounding area looking more like a desert. The climate and the scenery does a drastic switch throughout the year, but keeps the same warm 80-100 degree F throughout both seasons. Weather - Huatulco has two seasons - dry/brown or wet/green. Take time to learn about the locals and the environment by supporting the efforts through tours to the places that help to protect the beauty of Huatulco. While I'm no expert, my father-in-law, a professor of Agriculture and Natural Resources is and was very impressed with the area and what it was doing to pioneer ecological consciousness in Mexico. Ecotourism is just starting to build in this little village however, I'd say that it has the potential to be comparable to Costa Rica while being concentrated into a smaller area for greater enjoyment.
Construction and even most roads are strictly forbidden (you can access the forest by foot, bike, horse or boat) making this one of the few pristine, untouched areas of Mexico. There is also very large area of National Forest along the bays that has been designated for preservation with hundreds of bird species, wild boar, deer and armadillos as well as a large variety of tropical plants.

There is an agriculture program in town that teaches residents how to grow and sell crops and develop self sustaining practices. All of the towns of Huatulco have been integrated with modern sewage and water treatment systems so that none of the waste goes into the bays, making it so clean you can actually drink the tap water (I won't even drink water from my San Diego tap, so I stuck to bottled, but it's nice to know it's possible!). Unlike Cabo and Cancun, there aren't dozens of drivers/salesmen standing outside the airport waiting to take advantage of gullible tourists, just a simple line of taxis patiently awaiting your arrival for those who don't already have a transfer scheduled.Įcotourism - Huatulco is the only city in Mexico to receive the Green Globe Award and has carefully planned out the city to protect the environment and promote safe practices. The newly built airport is only 25 minutes from most hotels and attractions and a new road was just built, which means the drive is extremely smooth (much different than before from what I understand). There are only about a dozen major hotels/resorts in the area so it has not been overrun with tourism, but it is growing each year. On the other side are 9 bays with pristine beaches, clear warm waters and surrounding jungle. On one side it is surrounded by large, winding mountains making this a difficult location to reach by car, creating a perfect pocket void of major drugs, crime and gangs. Roughly 15,000 residents inhabit this extremely safe, quiet economically conscious fishing village. Huatulco is on the Pacific Coast in the southern state of Oaxaca.
