December – January are the busiest months for visitors, though there are other cultural events which attract crowds. In April, Huatulco hosts the Fiesta del Mar, while November is a busy month in Puerto Escondido with traditional folk dancing for the Festival Costeño de la Danza and a surfing tournament.
