Mazunte: Museo de La Tortuga. The Sea Turtle Museum will probably not be open until August. Puerto Escondido Hotels and Restaurants will follow the protocol of hygiene and will be checked by the municipalities' inspectors. Reservations are available in almost all hotels and restaurants. There is some tourism, but not much, so many people have lost their jobs. It's hard for workers to buy food and pay the light bill. Be generous. I know some people are paying light bills for people they know are struggling. When Juquila opens to the public (perhaps until September), tourism will increase in Puerto Escondido, but we don't know for sure when that might be. . . . always something new in the Visitors' Comments
