Although there is no exact record of the specific moment in which Puerto Escondido began to become a reference of contemporary Mexican architecture, various waves have been experienced. Perhaps the first one started in 2016 when the construction of Casa Wabi began, a Tadao Ando project where the Mexican office BAAQ´ collaborated as associates to develop the executive project and coordinate its construction. However, in 2019 another wave was experienced that was later reinforced by the beginning of the COVID-19 pandemic and remote work, which radically aroused interest in returning to the provinces and costs where there was less population and overcrowding.
Currently, Puerto Escondido is one of the most visited destinations annually by tourists worldwide for different reasons such as the cultural, and gastronomic offers but especially for the natural wealth that extends on the Oaxaca coast offering different experiences. This port has a warm subhumid climate with an average temperature of 27°C, it is located 800 kilometers southeast of Mexico City and 290 kilometers from the capital of Oaxaca. It is currently the most populous city on the Oaxaca coast.
