Huatulco
To talk about the history of Huatulco
is to talk about pirates, characters, ancient civilizations that inhabited the
port at some important moment for the country. The story that every grain of
sand can tell is as rich as the extent of the sea that surrounds it. Huatulco
is made up of 9 beautiful bays, which in turn are made up of 36 beaches
belonging to the Pacific Ocean. Due to its location, it was a successful
commercial port in the 16th century; Whose riches attracted pirates, such as
Sir Francis Drake and Sir Thomas Cavendish. This is how a part of the history
of the warm and golden sands of Huatulco begins to be written.
Another event that transcends in this
region is the treason, surrender and execution of the revolutionary insurgent
Vicente Guerrero, in the hands of the Mexican brothers Picalúga, in January of
1832, when the War of Independence had already concluded. Today, the exact site
in which this event occurred is known as La Entrega Beach.

back in time and to speak of the first inhabitants of the region. These
belonged to the SeñorÃo de Tututepec, that in Nahuatl means: Hill of the birds.

was never submitted by the Mexicas. As part of its archaeological treasures, it
preserves remnants of the Zoque culture: ceremonial structures, pyramidal
foundations and a ball game over 2,500 years old, which are part of the
