Mazunte sits on the southern Oaxaca coast about 12 minutes east of Zipolite and 90 minutes from Puerto Escondido — a tiny former turtle-fishing village turned into Mexico's hippie-and-yoga capital. Punta Cometa (the sunset cliff) and the small public beach are the social anchors. Hridaya Yoga School and the smaller drop-in studios run year-round; the Casita Mexicana and El Copal coworking-ish setups handle the laptop crowd. Cellular (Telcel + Movistar) works in the village; fiber is spotty — verify your rental specifically. The 180-day FMM tourist permit covers most western passports automatically; visa extensions need a trip to Puerto Escondido or Oaxaca City.

Program
Mexico FMM Tourist Permit
Typical max stay
6 months
Mexico grants up to 180 days on the FMM tourist form for most western passports (filled out on the plane or at land borders). Recently immigration officers have been issuing shorter stamps (60-90 days) at some entry points — not predictable. The Mexico Temporary Resident visa is the longer-term option (USD 2,600+/mo income proof or USD 43k+ savings).
