4-in-1 Huatulco Tours to Mazunte & La Ventanilla
TOUR OVERVIEW
Experience the best of Huatulco tours with our unique tour, combining four favorite excursions into one day of nature, culture, and tradition.
Your journey begins at the Franco García Artisan Chocolate Factory, where a local family with a long tradition in cacao cultivation shares their passion for educating the public on cocoa’s health benefits. Savor a variety of their aromatic, handcrafted products, from cocoa-infused raw honey to chocolate treats flavored with organic chili, mint, or ginger. Using traditional tools, the Franco García family preserves the authentic flavors of cacao in every product, offering a rich sensory experience.
Next, you’ll explore the charming town of Mazunte, with free time to wander its cobblestone streets or relax with a cup of locally grown coffee. Take in the laid-back atmosphere of this magical village, known for its commitment to environmental sustainability and the preservation of local culture.
After enjoying a traditional Mexican lunch, the adventure continues to La Ventanilla, a small fishing village nestled on a picturesque beach and lagoon. This mangrove estuary, part of the Tonameca River, is home to an array of wildlife. The lagoon, framed by red and white mangroves, is a sanctuary for birds like woodpeckers, kingfishers, storks, herons, and cormorants. Look out for iguanas, deer, turtles, and crustaceans, but the true highlight is the presence of crocodiles. During the rainy season (April-November), the lagoon opens to the sea, inviting marine life such as sea turtles and dolphins to feed.
A local Zapotec guide will lead you on a peaceful canoe ride through the lagoon, offering the chance to observe the vibrant wildlife up close and learn about the rich cultural heritage of the community that inhabits this protected mangrove reserve.
As the day draws to a close, you'll witness one of nature’s most incredible events: turtle spawning or turtle release, depending on the season. During the turtle spawning, watch in awe as hundreds of sea turtles return to the shore to lay their eggs. Alternatively, during the turtle release, you'll assist baby turtles as they make their way to the ocean for the first time. This touching, unforgettable experience is the perfect end to a day filled with wonder and discovery.
This tour is a must for travelers who want to immerse themselves in Huatulco’s natural beauty and cultural richness, all while supporting local communities.
