Huatulco Customs and Traditions
A cultural highlights outing centred on local customs and Huatulco context — the flagship cruise-day pick when you want culture without a long bay-private commitment.
Huatulco’s cruise call is at Santa Cruz within Bahías de Huatulco. This cultural outing stays in the Huatulco orbit rather than marketing Puerto Escondido or Mazunte as the port.

About Customs & traditions
Does this go to Puerto Escondido?+
No. Your cruise port is Santa Cruz, Huatulco. Puerto Escondido is a different destination and is not the schedule-port identity.
