In far southwest Mexico, Jiuqiila District, Costa Region. The population in 2005 was 33,682. Forty percent of the municipal population was engaged in agriculture and 20 percent in animal husbandry.

“Tourism employs 20% of the population in the port and tourist center of Puerto Escondido and the nearby Bajos de Chila.”

“Puerto Escondido is one of the most important tourist attractions on the Oaxacan coast. It caters to a more downscale and eclectic clientele than neighboring Huatulco, mostly surfers, backpackers and Mexican families. The main attractions are the beaches: Zicatela Beach hosts major surfing competitions, while other beaches have gentle waves.
West from the town is a large lagoon area popular for fishing and birdwatching.”

Indigenous clothing meets American Idol or something.

Search for images brings some pictures of San Pedro, but most are of Puerto Escondido beaches and tourists. Also, there are pictures of bloody bodies, almost all from far northern Mexico, where indigenous persons interact with each other in competition for U.S. drug money.
