Expensive cruise port of Huatulco

 It was my first time in Huatulco and the port expert said it was about 1 mile to Crucecita the town from port walking. Warning it is 2.3 miles and hilly each waywithout shade.  The church is definitely worth a visit. The shops and markets are just ok.

But this port is very expensive for a Mexico port.  They don’t barter even in the market. It’s the same stuff of ceramics, t shirts etc. but double the price of Manzanilla.

The beach by the ship looked dirty so go elsewhere by water taxi or taxi.  The rates are posted to the more popular beaches. 

I found the number of pickups with security men with machine guns disconcerting.

Overall not a port I would visit again.

Hope this helps
