Guide to virgin beaches: Playa del Órgano Part 1

Hello traveler! We hope you are enjoying your vacation. We know that upon your arrival you may be expecting a quiet and relaxing vacation. In our beautiful tourist destination there are 36 different beaches, many of them are quiet beaches and visitors have very little information about them. Therefore, here we will tell you which ones they are and how you can visit them, all of this recommended by our Ocean Travel team.   Those of us who live in Huatulco enjoy the beaches that are less crowded by people, that is why they are secret places that we visit to have a quiet moment, away from the center of La Crucecita. For this we have prepared some recommendations so that your visit to this paradise is as good and calm as possible.   Before starting our journey, we recommend bringing a beach umbrella, speaker, beach chairs, garbage bags to collect all our garbage and, with that, be ready for our transfer.   Our next stop will be the closest store to be able to buy snacks and drinks that we crave due to the hot climate of Huatulco. Remember to also use sunscreen and stay hydrated, as many beaches we will recommend do not have palapas or shops nearby.   Now that we are completely ready with our things, we have different options to choose from, which are perfect for enjoying the whole day with family, partner or friends. Stay tuned in the coming weeks, as we will be recommending beaches that are little known to outsiders throughout the year.   First Beach:   Playa Órgano: Located in the paradisiacal destination of Huatulco, Oaxaca, it is a hidden gem that is distinguished by its natural beauty and relaxed atmosphere. This beach, with crystal-clear waters and fine sand, is perfect for those looking to enjoy the serenity of the Pacific Ocean.   The name of the beach comes from a rock formation that, when viewed from certain angles, resembles a musical organ, adding a unique and picturesque touch to the landscape. Playa El Órgano is surrounded by hills and tropical vegetation, which makes it even more special and isolated, providing a quiet environment away from the hustle and bustle. It is a place where you can enjoy nature at its best, without the large crowds that usually characterize other, more well-known beaches.   The sea at El Órgano is an intense blue and its waters are perfect for swimming and snorkeling, with a rich marine life that includes colorful fish and underwater rock formations. It is a very suitable beach for those who enjoy the tranquility of the sea, since the waves are generally gentle, although there can sometimes be some current, which also makes it an excellent place for those more experienced in diving.   Access to the beach is a little more complicated than other more popular beaches in the region, but this exclusivity only adds to its charm. Upon reaching Playa El Órgano, we have to walk approximately 10 minutes on a path, terrain without climbs or descents. The interesting thing is that, the closer you get to the beach, you see how the flora changes compared to the entrance. It can be reached via a boat ride from Bahías de Huatulco, which also offers a unique experience, with panoramic views of the coast and its cliffs.   Playa El Órgano is an ideal refuge for those looking to disconnect from routine, surrounded by intact nature and a clean, calm sea. Its natural beauty, its relaxed atmosphere and its isolation make it a perfect destination to enjoy a perfect day in paradise.

What Plan Do You Have? vs. Combos

When we travel to an unknown destination, we often face a common problem: so many options and so little time. From the moment we arrive, we are overwhelmed with uncertainty about what to do, where to go, and what activities to choose. Sometimes, that indecision can turn into frustration, and the fear of making a bad decision haunts us. What if you don't like what you chose? What if you feel like you wasted a valuable day of your vacation? These questions are more common than you might imagine, and it is precisely from this feeling of concern that we decided to create two new solutions: "What Plan Do You Have?" and "Combos." The magic behind the Combos When we talk about "Combos," we are talking about the favorite experiences, the most requested by those who have visited Huatulco. These packages were carefully designed by our travel agents, who know the preferences of tourists in detail.

Huatulco for tourists

When we travel to a new destination, the same question always arises: What to do in this place? We want to know what experiences we will live and what awaits us in every corner. The million dollar question is: What to do in Huatulco? As a travel agent, I always recommend two key experiences to get to know the best of Huatulco: the Bays Tour and the City Tour. These two activities offer a complete perspective of the destination, both by sea and by land. With them, you can explore the highlights of this paradise quickly and fascinatingly. The experience that will fill your soul If you ask me what is the most profound experience that will truly connect you with the essence of the place, my answer would undoubtedly be: the Waterfall Tour. Why? Because being surrounded by pure nature and disconnected from the world (without phone signal or distractions) is a feeling that renews you. From the moment you start walking towards the largest waterfall, the imposing trees and pools of crystal-clear water envelop you in an atmosphere of peace. It is a unique opportunity to reconnect with nature and feel that freedom that we often forget. The Eco Tour: A window to nature Another of Huatulco's favorite experiences is the famous Eco Tour, a journey that takes you to Ventanilla and its impressive crocodile lagoon. Here you will learn about the different mangroves that surround the lagoon, understand why the color of the water changes, and have the opportunity to see crocodiles in their natural habitat, an exciting experience. The tour continues to a small island where you can interact with deer and feed them. To close with a flourish, you will visit the Magical Town of Mazunte, the legendary nudist beach of Zipolite, and the charming Puerto Ángel, three destinations full of history and local charm. Turtle release and bioluminescence: The finishing touch To conclude your adventure in Huatulco, an unforgettable experience is the release of turtles along with a visit to the bioluminescent lagoon. When you hold a little turtle in your hands, you understand the incredible journey it has had to make to get here, ready to begin its life in the sea. It is a moment of reflection, where you realize that not all of them will survive, but it is part of the cycle of life that you witness firsthand. Finally, you will dive into the bioluminescent waters, a magical experience that seems out of this world. The light that emanates from the water as it moves is hard to believe, but it is one of those natural phenomena that you have to experience to understand. In short, Huatulco is not just beaches and sun. It is a destination that offers experiences full of nature, culture and moments that will mark you forever. Dare to discover it!
