Some two-fifths of state residents of the state speak indigenous languages, notably Zapotec, Mixtec, Mazatec, Chinantec, and Mix\u00e9. Huatulco offers unique culinary experiences, coffee plantations, mezcal boutiques, thriving sea life along its protected shoreline and through its historical sites. Offering an abundance of world class land and water activities, guided by those whose families have spent generations on this coastline. The weather tends to be a strong factor as most tourists venturing to the Oaxacan coast seek its incredible 330 days\/year of sunshine.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">How to come to Santa Mar\u00eda Huatulco<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>The simplest way to reach Santa Mar\u00eda Huatulco is via a 1h30m flight from Mexico City International Airport (code MEX).
