💎 Viewpoint
El Mirador de Punta Cometa
Punta Cometa, Mazunte
Translation coming soonAbout
A short hike up to the southernmost point of Oaxaca. Most tourists don't know you can hike past the main viewpoint to a hidden cliff ledge with unobstructed ocean views.
Why it's special
Sacred headland with 270° ocean views — the best spot for sunrise and whale watching, and most visitors stop at the first viewpoint instead of continuing to the hidden ledge.
