and coffee farms, but I am also a solo female traveler and am relying on public transit/camionetas/taxis
I visited Pluma Hidalgo a few days ago and will give an abbreviated trip report. There is one nice posada behind the church (350 MXN) which is neat and clean, friendly owner, okay value. I saw another hotel in town, but wasn´t sure if it was open. I met a couple of young female backpackers who stayed at a cabana on a coffee finca a few km south of town; I went to have a look, the scenery and views were nice, but it did seem like a tourist trap to me: 650 MXN. There are lots of plantations within five or ten km of town, I walked alone, but you could hire a mototaxi. Note too that this morning I read in the local newspaper that a day ago (or one day after I visited), another shuttle van (de paso service between Oaxaca and Huatulco) had been attacked by armed robbers in the vicinity of the town, second time in a month! Weather pleasantly warm and sunny until late afternoon when it clouds over and fog develops, intermittent showers during the evening and night.
