San José del Pacífico

Escape to the misty mountains of San José del Pacífico, a tranquil retreat nestled in Oaxaca’s cloud forest. Known for its peaceful vibes and breathtaking views, this off-the-beaten-path destination is ideal for nature lovers and seekers of serenity.

San José del Pacífico is a peaceful mountain village perched at around 2,500 meters above sea level, surrounded by misty cloud forests and breathtaking valley views. It's known for its tranquil atmosphere, spiritual retreats, and connection to nature, making it a popular destination for those seeking wellness, introspection, or a break from the bustle of everyday life. Visitors come for the stunning sunsets, hiking trails, traditional temazcal ceremonies, and the chance to experience life above the clouds. With its cozy cabins, fresh mountain air, and slow pace, San José del Pacífico offers a soul-refreshing escape in the heart of Oaxaca’s highlands.

San José del Pacífico is located high in the mountains and does not have any beaches nearby. The closest coastal destinations, such as Puerto Escondido, Mazunte, or Zipolite, are several hours away by car. This remote mountain setting is ideal for travelers looking for forested trails, cool weather, and peaceful seclusion rather than sun and sand.
