I find myself in a tropical jungle in the middle of a town lost in the lands of Oaxaca. Legend has it that Puerto Escondido was not inhabited by humans. It was about plants, nature, its animals… “The Bay of the Hidden Woman.” That was his name.
Oh what a story! Do you know her? Young Mixtec girl from Huatulco Bay kidnapped by the evil Spaniard...
She manages to escape from the cabin where she was trapped, reaching the coast of La Punta, hiding in the jungle. They never found her. That skilled woman is known as “La Escondida.” That's where the name Puerto Escondido comes from. And where I am now reading this: a hidden Japanese, with rich vegetation.
A secret place, which is only known by word of mouth. It is said that La Escondida was hidden here, imbuing this place with a mysterious femininity that, when combined with oriental cuisine, fuses the mythology of a legendary town with the exoticism of an ancestral country.
