Punta Cometa, Mazunte

About

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.
