Feeling the Heat in Puerto Escondido, Mexico

Puerto Escondido is in a part of the world that regularly pushes the envelope in terms of soul-withering temperatures and humidity. The offbeat bars and pleasant eateries do their best to make things comfortable, but an asthmatic fan is no match for such brutal climactic conditions. Respite can be found during the day though — hire out a body board and take to Escondido’s famously unpredictable surf. The water might not be cold, but the swell is notoriously frisky, and risking life and limb might take your mind off the heat.
