The name of Mareño comes from the Ikots history, people from Peru who settled on the coast of the Isthmus of Tehuantepec through the Dead Sea in order to prevent Spanish colonization. When the Zapotecs saw people arriving by the sea they nicknamed them mareños, that means "people coming from the sea".

É a terceira temporada que o Fito me guia em Salina Cruz e além de se tornar um grande amigo, é um excelente surfista e tem muito conhecimento do local. Sabe exatamente onde estão quebrando as melhores ondas, baseado no vento e direção de swell.

Trip was great. Fito was eager to get us to the best waves everyday. The big difference between Fito and most other guides/camps is that Fito surfs and wants to get barreled too, so you know he will go where is best. because he is a local he knows all the beachbreaks if the swell is small, too. we started early, up at 6am, and surfed all day, coming back to the house/hotel ~9pm after a dinner. We ate good, healthy food for breakfast and had fantastic Oaxacan restaurant meals in the evenings.
I recommend Mareño Surf Tours to anyone who is serious about first and foremost surfing their brains out while they are in Salina Cruz.
