La Lupe Island in Acapetahua is located about 3 km from the Barra Zacapulco Turtle Camp. In this small fishing village, time seems to stand still and leaves its visitors alone before the immensity of the ocean, surrounded by new sounds: birds, insects, nocturnal animals and of course the waves of the sea. In this environment, a group of artisans carve coconuts and create figures from shells and snails. Hospitality is also an art in this community. If you need anything, ask at the Bahías del Mar cooperative.
Acapetahua is one of the municipalities of the Mexican state of Chiapas. Its name comes from the Nahuatl Acatl-Petatl-Hua and is interpreted as Those Who Have Reed Mats. It is one of the main conservation sites for Biodiversity in Mexico, like La Encrucijada, which is a very important species reserve in the region.
In Acapetahua the most important celebrations are those of the Lord of Esquipulas on January 15, La Candelaria on February 2 and San Francisco de Asís on October 4.
