Huatulco Ecotourism Travel Development Plans - After 19080, FONATUR (known as el "Fondo Nacional de Turismo" de Mexico), a government agency dedicated to the development of tourism in Mexico, acquired 21,000 hectares of land to develop a tourism center, similar to that in Cancun. The existing population was relocated to Santa María Huatulco. The plan resulted in a great improvement of roads. It also had populated areas interspersed with "green zones" to make the area more ecologically-minded. In fact, Huatulco is one of the cleanest and grrenist developments plans in Mexico. In addition to the beaches, one can explore and shop in the small communities of Huatulco, such as Santa Cruz, La Crucecita, or old Santa María Huatulco (the municipal seat). When doing so, one can travel between the communities by local buses or taxis. The area known as Huatulco has a "small town" feel and is rarely ever crowded with tourists. |

Despite the improvements in infrastructure, Huatulco is not as easy to get to as other resorts like Cancun. The drive south from Acapulco on Federal Highway 200 has over 300 speedbumps. Driving from Oaxaca city, the state capital is not easier. Highway 135 is also full of speed bumps. Highway 190 has fewer but it is a longer road with many curves due to the mountainous terrain. Huatulco has an airport, named the "Aeropuerto Internacional de Huatulco" which is served nationally by Mexicana, Magnicharter, Nova Air, Polar and AeroTucán from other Mexican airports. Internationally, Continental Airlines, Sky Service, and First Choice fly here from the U.S., Canada and Europe. |
