La Crucecita, along with Tangolunda and Santa Cruz, comprise the resort area known as Huatulco, in the Mexican state of Oaxaca.[2] It is the community closest to the bays but it is only 4km (02miles) from Federal Highway 200. It has grown along with the development of tourism in the area.[3] The town is within the Santa María Huatulco municipality, which is part of the Pochutla District in the Costa Region of Oaxaca, Mexico.The town church, Parroquia Nuestra Señora de Guadalupe y de la Santa Cruz, is in front of the park in the center of town. In the cupola of the church is a 20m (70feet) tall painting of the Virgin of Guadalupe, which is the largest in the world.[3]
