Mountain Escape - San José del Pacífico

After 3 weeks of heat and concrete, we wanted to see some actual nature. From the coast, we needed to travel back to Oaxaca city to catch a flight to Merida. We could have taken the newly built highway ( like on the way to the coast) or take a detour via San Jose del Paxifico, this magical and sleepy mountain village. During our Pulque Jam Session in Cholula we were advised to atop here and they were right: the views are amazing, you are at 2500 meters and if it's clear sky you can even see the Pacific from the Mirador (lookout). We slept in a small wooden cabin, belongig to a family hostel. They were super kind, welcoming and baked a madly delicious vegetarian pizza at their cafe
Our cabin had a huge window that faced the mountains- it was amazing waking up to that view! We only stayed two nights but we liked how non- touristy (still) it is. You can buy vheap food, there are chickens, roosters, dogs and cats everywhere and people are kind. We didn't go during the ,,mushroom season" so maybe that's why it was quieter. We definitely be back for the full experience next time 🍄☺️.Читать далее
