Just west of the Huatulco International Airport, the road to Santa María Huatulco intersects the coastal highway. The town lies about seven miles north. This is the town from which the resort Huatulco got its name, and I should clarify that it is a separate town located miles away from Huatulco the resort. It is a small, pretty, and very clean town surrounded by the foothills of the Sierra Madre del Sur. Photo. Santa María Huatulco is the home of residents displaced by the development of the Huatulco resort. I did not see a hotel there.

See aerial photo.


In the central plaza is a church which contains a piece of an old cross which has an interesting history. The following information comes from the plaque in the church. I am told this plaque has since been moved to the church in Santa Cruz.
