5 Experiences you can't miss in Puerto Escondido: 

1. Take a surf lesson: The coast of Puerto Escondido creates waves of every kind, which makes it a mecca for both beginner and experienced surfers. Find your feet with a lesson or watch the professionals get barreled at Playa Zicatela. 
2. Release a baby turtle: When it comes to wholesome experiences, helping sea turtles make their life's most important journey is certainly up there. These recently-hatched critters are rescued by wildlife conservationists from poachers and predators, so embrace the moment and let it fill your heart for a lifetime.  
3. Book a yoga class: Puerto Escondido is renowned for its yoga retreats, but if long stretches of relaxation aren't your style, you can still fill your cup with a drop-in class.
