Puerto Escondido was the first tourist center of the "Costa Chica " (Little Coast) region of southern Mexico. Known since the 19th Century as Punta Escondida, it was a fishing harbor and had a pier for loading locally produced coffee and precious woods. Puerto Escondido retains much of it's original charm and is sometimes referred to as "The Mexican Pipeline", an internationally recognized surfing paradise and home of an annual international surf contest.

During the 30's, the port began to develop, but it remained a remote spot, where beaches of fine white sand were caressed by crystal and emerald waters in a setting of exotic vegetation and rich wildlife. During the 70's, the blend of these elements began to catch the fancy of daring travelers who sought an unspoiled environment where they could find adventure and beauty.

In 1982, both the federal and state governments gave their total support to making Puerto Escondido an exciting travel destination on southern Mexico's Pacific rim. An airport was approved and built and communication was improved with completion of the Pan American Highway through Southern Mexico.

The Hotel Santa Fe was one of the first upscale hotels to be built in Puerto Escondido and continues to set the standards by which travelers can be assured of a wonderful time and professional service.
