MORE MEXICO!!!!


MEXICO CITY
The Valley of the Damned! Get ready for a crazy ass ride through a maze of a city! Of course if you drive it for a couple of hours you'll figure it out, but definitely be prepared for consistent heavy traffic. Mexico City is an awesome place to visit and chill for a few days with so much to see and do that you wont know where to start first. There are over 100 museums, beautiful gardens, busy markets, great restaurants, and ridiculous clubs. The nightlife in Mexico City is insane! Many clubs don't even open until 10pm. If you want to practice your salsa, then the Mama Rumba is the spot. If you want to get your drink on, La Casa de las Sirenas has over 150 different types of tequila. Here is a link to a list of bars, clubs, and restaurants all with the locations and phone numbers. You'll also be able to find a list of bus stations, places to stay, and things to do.

PUERTO ESCONDIDO
Oaxaca is home to the town of Puerto Escondido. Puerto Escondido is the spot in Mexico and has some of the sickest waves to surf. The sickest of them all is the Playa Zicatela or the Mexico Pipeline! It's one of the most powerful beach break barrels in the world. This back breaking, board busting, most rewarding balls to the walls wave is located at Zicatela Beach on the east side of Puerto Escondido. Everyone knows where it is, so finding it will be no problem. Like most breaks hit it early before it gets blown out. There are several other waves in the area; "La Punta" (or "the point") it's a fun, fast left point wave that is three-quarters of a mile up the beach from Puerto Escondido. There's Sayulita, Nayarit, Trocones, Pascuales, Colima, Mazatlan, Sinaloa, Saladitas (fun little starter waves), and many more. All are good but none compare to the Mexican Pipe! All locations are easy to find with a little research, but I will give you the best site for all the breaks and there locations as well as places to stay!!

Once you have raged the Mexican coast and you're ready to move on, head to Comitan, Chiapas. This is a cool place to stop for the night and it's real close to the Guatemalan border. There are also a ton of signs directing you to the Guatemala border. If you have any problems just ask a gas attendant or anyone else around and they will gladly point you in the right direction. Also tourist maps will show you where all the border crossing are as well as many cool tourist destinations.
There are plenty of cheap places to stay at in Chiapas. I stayed at Hotel Monticristo and it was a sweet place! Clean, cheap, $10 per night, and the owners were mad cool and so helpful in any way they could be. The exact address is 1a. calle sur pte. no. 107 Barrio, candelaria, the tele is 01(963)101-3891. Any taxi can tell you how to get there.
