Ass well, don’t miss the Museum of Oaxacan Handcrafts and admire the handcrafted rugs in Teotitlan del Valle, as well as pieces made out of black clay, alebrijes and embroidery. If you want to learn the tradition of natural wool dyeing, then go to the Centro Textil Artesanal Beel Guiée in the Arroyo González community, very close to the main district. If you’re wondering where to sleep in Huatulco, Tangolunda Bay is where the all-inclusive hotels and houses for rent are located. You will also find cabins and inexpensive accommodations in Bahía de San Agustín, with semi-virgin beaches.

The ideal destination to relax
Once you set foot in Puerto Escondido, Oaxaca, you will fall madly in love with the beauty of its eight beaches, each with its own distinct personality. In this corner of the Mexican Pacific, days are spent riding wild waves on surfboards, releasing turtles, admiring the sunset, or simply lying under the sun, naked as the day you were born.

Although it’s one of the most popular destinations on the Oaxacan coast, Puerto Escondido retains its rustic and relaxed atmosphere, as evidenced by the lack of large resort chains. You will sleep in cabins, in family-run inns near the beach, or in eco-chic boutique hotels that incite romance. You can also bring a tent and camp on the shore.

What to do at Puerto Escondido?
One of a myriad things you can do in Puerto Escondido is walk along the Adoquín, Puerto Escondido’s first paved street, called Perez Gasca. This street is filled with invigorating amateur musicians, handicraft and surf shops, small bars in which to drink a mojito, and restaurants offering seafood or wood-fired pizzas. At night, the street is pedestrianized, which allows visitors to take relaxing strolls.

Beach-hopping is also one of the most popular activities in Puerto Escondido. Boats depart from the main beach, in search of sea turtles and dolphins. In addition to being Puerto Escondido’s surfing mecca, given the size of its waves, Zicatela is also the beach with the best ambience. Bachoco Beach is ideal for couples and for exploring the beach on horseback. Puerto Ángel, in turn, is a match made in heaven for backpackers and nature enthusiasts looking for hiking excursions in search waterfalls, as well as for those who prefer to snorkel in calm waters.

Last but not least, there are year-round turtle-protection camps in the Pueblo Mágico (Magical Town) of Mazunte and its sister beach, Zipolite. You most likely already know that the latter is the only nudist beach in Mexico.

The Laguna de Manialtepec (Manialtepec Lagoon) and the Lagunas de Chacahua (Chacahua Lagoons) are quite close to Puerto Escondido. The most popular tour takes place at night, in order to experience the phenomenon of bioluminescence.

Puerto Escondido is located 180 miles away from the city of Oaxaca. Without a doubt, the best seasons to visit this jewel of the Mexican Pacific is from January to May and October to December, in order to enjoy sunny weather. March, April, and May are the coldest months.

Heart of the Mayan Riviera
Playa del Carmen is the heartbeat of the Mayan Riviera. Its strategic location boasts 120 kilometers (75 mi) of shoreline in the Mexican Caribbean, which makes this destination the ideal gateway for domestic and foreign travelers, who are seduced by its beaches, cenotes (deep natural wells or sinkholes), theme parks, and exclusive resorts nestled in the enigmatic jungle or impressed with the cosmopolitan atmosphere of is Quinta Avenida (Fifth Avenue).

The days in Playa del Carmen seem endless. The mornings are ideal for travelers to sunbathe and swim in its turquoise-blue waters. All-inclusive resorts and beach clubs located on the beautiful seashore -such as Mamita’s, Kool, and Coco Maya- offer spaces for travelers to relax in. Lounge chairs, umbrellas, drinks, food, and pools are some of the services they offer.

Afternoons at Playa del Carmen
At sunset, downtown restaurants await, for a culinary experience that ranges from traditional Mayan cuisine to international fare. Afterward, you can tour its most emblematic street, Fifth Avenue, well-known for its boutiques, handicraft stores, and bars. Parque Fundidores is a short walk away and features concerts and folkloric shows on its stage, the L’Aquarium aquarium, and the Frida Kahlo Museum.

Be sure to come back at night in search of a soirée. You will find all sorts of fun activities. However, the most popular places are those with open bars, featuring dance parties hosted by celebrity impersonators. However, there are also hippie mezcalerías, salsa dance clubs, and bars featuring trova (Cuban popular music).

Connect with Nature
As mentioned previously, this destination was blessed by nature, so we suggest hiring day trip to swim with the turtles in Akumal, to walk through the Río Secreto underground cavern, or to explore the Cobá and Xaman-Há archaeological sites.

Playa del Carmen is located 76 kilometers (47 miles) from Cancún. You can travel, by land or ferry, from Playa del Carmen to other Caribbean paradises, such as Tulum, Cozumel, and Isla Mujeres. The weather is perfect throughout the year, but the best time to visit is from December to June, when the humidity and heat are not as overwhelming.

Tulum is one of the most prized jewels of the Mexican Caribbean, perhaps on account of its 10 kilometers (6 mi) of white-sand beaches and turquoise waters. It was, after all, deemed worthy of the “Pueblo Mágico” (Magical Town) designation.

In Tulum, nature is present in all its glory through its lagoons, cenotes (deep natural wells or sinkholes), and beachfront Mayan archaeological site once used as an astrological and trading center. Bike rides through the jungle are a quite common and popular way to explore its myriad wonders. Tulum Bike Tours enhance the experience by taking you to local communities, where you can learn about herbal medicine and handcrafting jewelry from seeds.

Unlike Cancún, Tulum is devoid of enormous, all-inclusive resorts. Instead, it offers small hotels that blend into the jungle; they can be as fancy or as rustic as you desire. We recommend staying at Azulik if you’re traveling with a significant other, as it boasts six wooden suites, swings, and the suspended beds made famous on Instagram. Can you imagine drinking a glass of wine above the jungle canopy, in spaces that resemble giant nests?

If you’re an adventurous soul, we recommend glamping in secluded locations that feature king-size beds, fans, and rugs. The cost of these king-size rooms is less than $1,000 pesos per night. They also offer daily yoga classes.

Tulu’s eco-chic atmosphere is patent when you take a walk downtown, which is located a mere four kilometers (2.5 mi) away from the coastline. For a casual afternoon drink, bars are ubiquitous. If you like mezcal, Gitano is a good option. You can also find small art galleries and hippie clothing stores, as well as places that offer massages, pre-Hispanic rituals, or evening yoga classes on the beach.

With the image of a relaxed, quiet and colonial town, surrounded by a more urban and family atmosphere, San Jose del Cabo is the ideal destination to spend a spectacular weekend.

It is located 30 kilometers ( 19 miles ) north of Cabo San Lucas on the coast of the Sea of Cortés. It is the municipal site of Los Cabos, which is located at the tip of the Baja California peninsula.

The cozy architecture of the downtown of San Jose del Cabo has become a place where it is possible to find works of art from different parts of the world. Touring it during your stay is a must.

Discover its essence by taking a walk around Plaza MIjares, one of the most visited places since there is a market of local producers who offer different crafts among which paintings, jewelry, wood carvings and typical candies stand out.

If you are looking to spend the day sunbathing, we recommend visiting the beaches: Acapulquito, Costa Azul and Del Estero. If you prefer, go to Estero San José where you will see the flora and fauna that reigns in this destination.

La Joya de México (“The Jewel of Mexico”), as it is also called, has many tourist attractions of unparalleled beauty, its beaches are impressive, with specific places for surfing.

There’s no doubt that one of the most vibrant cities in Baja California Sur is Cabo San Lucas, a destination that has managed to reinvent itself and keep up with the tastes of travelers who schedule their flights in search of comfortable stays, first-class cuisine, as well as adventure and fun in every beach or desert attraction.

The history of Cabo San Lucas dates back to the arrival of Pericúes 13,000 years ago, who saw the end of their civilization towards the end of the 18th century. This, according to records of Spanish conquistadors, who sought to develop a fishing village, however, found these beaches of perfect climate, the ideal place to rest for merchants trying to evade the pirates.

To get to know Cabo San Lucas in depth, it is necessary to know that it is divided into three main areas. Those who seek tranquility are better off heading east to San Jose del Cabo, to free themselves from stress thanks to its essence of an authentic Mexican town that blends harmoniously with the Art District located in the Historic Centre and la nueva Marina.

If you’re looking for something more glamorous, along its 30-kilometer (19-mile) corridor you’ll find a resort that meets your expectations. Besides, you will not want to miss practicing golf in one of its world-renowned courses, setting up an afternoon of shopping in its exclusive malls or spending a sensational night in the vibrant atmosphere of its bars.

Returning your attention to the sea, you will be able to practice multiple aquatic activities such as sport fishing in the also called “ Capital del Marlín”, whale watching or visiting “El arco”, the emblematic site of Cabo San Lucas.

Just two hours by land from Mexicali, is San Felipe, Baja California, a warm climate town that extends from Punta El Machorro to Punta Estrella, on the shores of the Sea of Cortés and in the middle of the imposing desert.

San Felipe is a fishing village, blessed by a riverbed that gives off a gentle swell at dawn and seems to trace the path of the sea. Thus, the boats leave early to do their job, while travelers stop to watch the almost unusual growth of the water, which ends at dusk.

From the Cerro de la Virgen, it seems that the image watches over along with the Faro de San Felipe every maritime feat, every human body that enters its saline body and comes out as if it were bathed by the rays of the sun and painted with sand. Diving into its bays, reminds one of the placid days of childhood in the pool, but with the gratification that this pool is infinite.

On the Malecón, one of the main tourist spots in San Felipe Baja California, music combines with the sound of the waves. Some decide to sunbathe and forget about time and routine. Families play games with the little ones, while the youngsters enjoy the scenery or decide to go into one of the bars with the promise of a long night.

Thus, between the calm of an almost pristine destination, the coexistence of visitors and the gastronomic offer will make your visit more than you expected.

Mexico is a country of contrasts in every sense, just as it is said that Chiapa de Corzo, in Chiapas, is one of the oldest cities in Latin America, on the other hand there are places as young as Rosarito, Baja California, which has become one of the favorite destinations for surfers and those who love the beach.

Rosarito, Baja California, is a 30 minute drive from Tijuana and an hour from Ensenada and San Diego, California, which is why many travelers from the United States have adopted this place as their weekend destination to surf and return home with a good tan.

The climate in Rosarito is one of its main attractions, since it is warm and sunny all year round, its summers are dry so it is an ideal place to vacation without worrying about rain. In autumn it is common to see los Vientos de Santa Ana (Santa Ana Winds), which are extremely dry air currents typical of northern Mexico and southern California, United States.

The first inhabitants of Rosarito were small indigenous groups. In the 17th century, its name was Misión de San Arcángel de la Frontera since it was part of the route of the evangelizing missions that were installed in a large part of Baja California.

Rosarito is a city where you can practice water sports almost all year round. One of its main economic activities is cinema and television, since here are the Baja Studios where movies like Titanic, Pearl Harbor, Planet of the Apes and television series like Fear of the Walking Dead have been filmed.

If you are planning a vacation in where the sun is your companion and nature the scenery of all those new memories, you’re probably thinking of visiting La Paz, the perfect place for nature lovers, especially aquatic settings.

The location of La Paz makes one of the most common ways to get there is by crossing the Baja California Peninsula by ferry from Mazatlán and Topolobampo, Sinaloa, to the port of Pichilingue.

The estimated time of this trip is between 10 and 14 hours, you can also get there by plane landing at the Manuel Márquez de León International Airport that receives direct national and international flights. There are even small airlines that operate, at low cost, from the Mazatlán airport.

The weather in La Paz is hot most of the year, that makes it a perfect place to vacation regardless of the season. Summers are dry so the rain is not a threat for those who only want to spend the day between the sea and the sand, the average temperature is 34°C (93°F).

Walking along the La Paz boardwalk will give you one of the best views of the Baja California Peninsula, the same one that hosts a rich diversity of marine species such as the gray whale, which visits these waters every year.

The Bahía de Santa Cruz (Bay of Santa Cruz) was the first name of this city, given by Hernán Cortés on May 3 of 1535, although La Paz had a second foundation in 1596, when the navigator Sebastián Vizcaíno gave it the name that currently has.

One hour from La Paz is Todos Santos, a place that artists from different parts of the world have chosen this as the place to rest and be inspired. Also there you can find the Hotel California, it is said that it is the one that inspired the song of the same name by The Eagles.

Loreto is an oasis trapped between the waters of Mar de Cortés and the desert lands of Sierra Giganta. It’s the remote land that the Jesuits used to start their pilgrimage to evangelize and colonize Baja and Alta California. But it’s also a Pueblo Mágico (Magical Town) of Baja California Sur that has the joy of being gray and blue whales (the largest in the world) temporary home; of being in front of a set of islands declared a World Heritage Site; and of being one of Mexico’s favorite sun and beach destinations.

Although it seems to be away from everything, there is much to do in Loreto: the Main Square is simple, but with a colonial charm that encourages you to get lost in its cobbled walkways that trace the path to the baroque facade of the Iglesia de Nuestra Señora de Loreto, the Museo de las Misiones (Museum of the Missions) and the handicraft shops, restaurants and coffee shops.

The boardwalk is beyond, a long barrier that the inhabitants adapt as a “sofa” to watch sunsets. But, it’s also the gateway to two of the closest to town quiet-atmosphere beaches—Centro and Oasis. If you want to go to other solitary beaches with turquoise waters, the marina is there, from where the boats depart to reach the Parque Nacional Bahía de Loreto (Bahía de Loreto National Park), made up of a dozen islands and islets that allow you to swim with sea lions, do birdwatching, row a kayak, snorkel or scuba diving.

Downtown Loreto is also characterized by its boutique hotels, such as Santa Fe, Hotel 1697, and Loreto Playa. However, along the coast, luxurious All-Inclusive properties and golf courses have been built, which look towards the islands and allow you to get closer to other must-see beaches, such as Nopoló, Ensenada Blanca, Agua Verde and San Bruno, protected by cliffs. Among its most exclusive services are excursions to contemplate cave paintings in Sierra Giganta, taste “chocolata” clams, navigate the Sea of Cortés and passive whale watching at Isla El Carmen.

How to get there: Loreto is 365 kilometers (226 miles) from La Paz and communicates with the main cities of Baja California Sur and Baja California by the Trans peninsular highway. However, it’s also accessible by a 30-minute plane flight from the capital of Baja California Sur.

Located in the northeast of México, Tampico is for many a port-city, despite the fact that the sea isn’t in the municipality, but in its neighbor, Madero. Tampico municipality does have an important river—Pánuco. The Antigua Aduana Marítima (Old Maritime Customs) is on its shores, a place inaugurated by President Porfirio Díaz, we will tell you more about it later.

Tampico is also surrounded by large cities, as it borders Altamira, Madero, Tampico Alto in the state of Veracruz, and Ébano in San Luis Potosí. From Mexico city and San Luis Potosí it’s a 5 hours 30 minutes drive (450 km/279 miles), from Poza Rica Veracruz it is 2 hours 50 minutes (220 km/136 miles). Its warm and coastal climate makes it ideal to visit all year round.

Once in Tampico, you must be ready to dance or let yourself be influenced by the rhythm of their huasteco and huapango sounds, as they won’t stop sounding wherever you walk by. The party that takes place in its streets is permanent and the Tampiqueños (people from Tampico) don’t limit themselves when it comes to radiating joy.

Their hospitality and energy are other characteristics that define them; you will see this in each of their restaurants and consumption centers, where the word abundance is something that they have taken very seriously. If you have a discreet appetite, take into consideration sharing when ordering, as their dishes are abundant.

Try their delicious crabs in different presentations; butter, diabla (spicy), cream, grilled, over the coals and whatever more fusions come to mind. This “puerto jaibo” (crab port) –known both for the size and abundance of this crustacean in its waters– has a dish for all tastes.

If you are looking to quench your thirst and enjoy the warm climate of Tampico and its neighboring Ciudad Madero, it’s time to go around the port to cool off at Las Glorias de Baco (Bacchus’ Glories), where the heirs of “Don Cheto’s” will be able to prepare you a liter (2 pint) mojito, or its flagship drink and secret recipe, the Tampico-Madero drink.

Sayulita has a “good vibes” vibe: its colorful streets, Huichol art galleries and waves conquered by surfers from all over the world make it the most hippie-chic Pueblo Mágico of the whole Riviera Nayarit, whose gateway is through another of the destinations of sun and beach spoiled in Mexico, Puerto Vallarta, just 40 minutes away.

Day and night, all the action is concentrated on the beach. With the first sunbeams you see the constant coming and going of surfers with boards on their heads, waiting for the best wave. The most experienced surfers give themselves time to teach lessons at the beach. There are shops / schools that also include the domain of the paddle surf board.

If yours isn’t rebel waves, then just lie in the sun and enjoy the hammocks. Sayulita has a turtle camp so between June and November, at sunsets, you can enjoy the Pacific ridley sea turtles release. From January to March you can see the humpback whale jumping from the coastline.

To rest from the sea, you just have to go downtown and walk through its streets. The most visited street is Manuel Navarrete, with its vegetarian, fresh fish and seafood restaurants, and rustic pizzerias, although there’s an international gastronomic offer. There are also bars where you can have a shot of “raicilla”, a local distilled drink made out of agave. There are also boutique hotels, which with their artistic facades and few rooms, give the village a bohemian atmosphere. You can also find galleries, boutiques and craft studios, which pay tribute to the Huichol culture.

To escape from the hustle and bustle, you can spend a few days in a yoga practicing enclosure in the middle of the jungle and with stunning sea views. Technology free, for a total detox.

Sayulita would be nothing without its little piece of jungle, ready for you to explore it on hikes, horseback riding or an adventure tour that includes zip lines.

Manzanillo City is located in Pacific Ocean coast. This city has a long tradition thanks to its port services and because of that its name has been quite relevant in the history of the country many times.

The city received its name Manzanillo from the Spaniards that arrived here during The Conquista: here used to be plenty of cahmomile trees (árboles de manzanilla), also known before as “Death Trees”, because of its toxicity, and that way they decided to called it that way.

However, the locals used to call it Cozcatlán which means “Place of Collars”, probably because the jewelry they wore was made using seashells and pearls. Archaeologists suggest that this name and others like salagua comes indeed from its pearl jewelry tradition, which can be recorded from the XV century.

Manzanillo has plenty of beaches for enjoying holidays with the family. Sun shines 350 days a year, so the weather is ideal. The golden sands of Manzanillo can turn black sometimes because of its volcanic activity.

One of the most cherished activities in Manzanillo is surfing, along with practising kayak and of course, swimming. After all the calories you’ve burnt doing these activities a good meal of fresh fish and shrimps is necessary. You can try them in the beach restaurants. Don’t leave without trying tuba, a drink that comes from Filipinas and that arrived in the country thanks to China’s Nao. It is prepared with the palm trees, particulary the ones that contain coconuts, and is really refreshing.

The Sea of Cortés and the Sonoran desert embrace Puerto Peñasco, a town renowned for its crystalline beaches and for being the gateway to the Reserva de la Biósfera El Pinacate y Gran Desierto de Altar (National Reserve of El Pinacate and Gran Desierto de Altar) declared World Heritage Site by UNESCO in 2013.

Puerto Peñasco is a cosmopolitan destination where elegant hotels, shopping centers and golf courses join together. However, it still preserves streets from its old fishing past such as Calle 13, better known as “Tijuanitas”.

This urban walkway includes small bars and Mexican crafts shops. By the streets you still can see old wagons selling fresh fruits. During the day, there are bike and golf carts rides. While at night, it is the core of Puerto Peñasco’s nightlife. From here you can get to Fundadores boardwalk and see the “Rey de Mar”, a boat that sails through the bay with food and beverage services.

If you really look for fun in Puerto Peñasco, then you should go to its almost-zero-waves beaches. Don’t be surprised to see snorkels peeking at the surface, as they are travelers who enjoy the marine life offered by the Sea of Cortés. This sea is also known as the “largest aquarium in the world”. Certified divers are also frequent visitors.

Another way to enjoy water is taking a boat trip through its estuaries, such as Morúa, through San Jorge Island up to the oyster farms or just to watch whales in the winter season. Cetaceans include Puerto Peñasco within their migration route.

The pulse of the city is also at land. You can feel it when descending sand dunes and walking through gigantic volcanic craters, such as those at Pinacate, and when gliding through La Cholla Bay’s zip-line circuit 300-meters-high.

Puerto Peñasco is located three hours 30 minutes overland from the city of Mexicali. If you are planning a getaway to this destination, we highly recommend your visit between February and May or from September to December to avoid the high temperatures that touch 50 ° Celsius.

The main reason visitors from all over the world flock to Puerto Vallarta is for the beaches. However, the picturesque Historical Center, art-filled boulevard, and magnificent views of the Bahía de Banderas, as well as the Zona Romántica (Romantic District), are all highlights which make this city a unique, unforgettable destination.

Located on the Pacific coast, 205 miles (330 km) from Guadalajara (the capital of the state of Jalisco), Puerto Vallarta is home to Gustavo Díaz Ordaz International Airport, with connections to major cities in the country, as well as important foreign cities. As such, it has become one of the main tourist destinations in Mexico.

This is with good reason, given that the hotel offer in Puerto Vallarta is varied, with both low-cost and high-end options. Furthermore, there is a huge variety of water sports and activities on offer, with something for everyone: diving, snorkeling, bungee jumping, parasailing, kayaking, game fishing, swimming with dolphins, seasonal whale-watching, jet skis, boat rides, flyboard, windsurfing and surfing, among others.

Behind the beautiful city is the Sierra Madre Occidental (a mountain range in west and northwest Mexico), which provides a lush, green backdrop with a number of waterfalls, and El Jorullo suspension bridge. The outdoor adventure and nature-based activities on offer there expand on the already rich menu of attractions: adrenaline-filled zip lines, ATV rides, horseback riding or mountain bike tours, rappelling, and peaceful nature walks to observe the landscape and birds living in the trees.

Puerto Vallarta is however also considered a “gourmet city” due to the large number of restaurants with renowned chefs at the helm, and the delicious creativity which goes into their dishes. After enjoying an ocean or mountain-based activity, you can regain your strength with top-notch gastronomical delights, and then make an evening of it with the city’s lively nightlife.

Puerto Vallarta, which was originally known as Las Peñas, was founded in 1851. Tourism-based development however took place in the eighties, when Marina Vallarta (the Vallarta Marina) was built. It has not stopped growing since, and continues to win the hearts of visitors, who just keep coming back.

If you are planning a break in Puerto Vallarta, the best time to visit is between April and June, to avoid the rainy season. From December to March, however, whale-watching can be enjoyed in this area of the Pacific.

The gateway to the splendid Riviera Nayarit, Nuevo Vallarta is the most developed tourist center of this entire strip, which covers 305 kilometers ( 190 miles ) of beautiful beaches. At this point, on the Bay of Banderas, the great hotel complexes are concentrated with an extensive offer of restaurants, spas, four golf courses, two amusement parks, two marinas and many seaside activities.

Nuevo Vallarta is located between the Pacific Ocean and the Ameca River, which is the natural border between the states of Nayarit and Jalisco, barely 13 kilometers ( 8 miles ) from its sister city, Puerto Vallarta.

Being a relatively young tourist center, born in the heat of its famous neighbor Jalisco, Nuevo Vallarta does not have a nerve center around a central plaza, but rather extends along its coast, escorted by the Paseos de los Cocoteros and Las Palmas.

The extensive and calm beach of Nuevo Vallarta offers the opportunity to rest under the sun or to swim in a sea with moderate waves.

Every year, these same beaches receive the hawksbill, olive ridleys and leatherbacks turtles that arrive to lay their eggs, so there is a turtle camp whose objective is to preserve these species and which, in season, invites visitors to release the small hatchlings at sunset.

The destination is also a magnet for sailing lovers, since it has two of the most important marinas in the country, with a capacity for about 500 boats: Marina Nuevo Vallarta and Marina Paradise Village, offering beautiful views for those who stroll along its docks.

To improve their handicap or to practice their swing in a golf course, visitors can choose between four different options. And, at the end of the game or after a day at the beach, it will be a good idea to let yourself be pampered in one of the spas that offer treatments both with ancestral Huichol techniques as if they were brought from remote corners of the planet.

The days in Nuevo Vallarta end with beautiful sunsets over the sea, but the night continues in its bars and night clubs, so that your vacation can be enjoyed until the last minute.

Mexico is full of corners that evoke peace. Its landscapes are typical of a postcard that, just by seeing it, relaxes us. One of the places that invite you to turn off your cell phone and leave it in a drawer is Punta de Mita, an area exclusively dedicated to making visitors forget their routine to rest and admire the nature around them.

Punta de Mita is a peninsula located north of Bahía de Banderas in the state of Nayarit, in an area known as Riviera Nayarit. By road it is 55 minutes from Puerto Vallarta, Jalisco; 2 hours and 45 minutes from Tepic, capital of Nayarit; 4 hours and 40 minutes from Guadalajara and 6 and a half hours from Colima.

The climate in Punta de Mita is hot and humid, the average temperature is 27º C. The summers are rainy with precipitation from June to September and, although in winter the temperature drops, the climate is still ideal for outdoor activities.

The beaches of Punta de Mita are bathed by the waters of the Pacific Ocean and a great variety of Watersports and visits to attractions in the neighboring towns that make up Bahía de Banderas are possible.

The first inhabitants of the area were groups of Nahuatl origin of whom vestiges have been found like the ceremonial enclosure of Loma Cayero or the sculptures carved in stone at different points of Bahia de Banderas.

During the 17th century, some haciendas were established dedicated to the cultivation of tobacco, besides Bahía de Banderas serving as a port that received the ships that went to San Blas and Acapulco.

Rincón de Guayabitos is known as “ La alberca más grande de México” (“The biggest pool in Mexico”) and “El Corazón de la Riviera Nayarit” (“The Heart of the Riviera Nayarit”) thanks to the soft waves of its beaches and its pulsating and inexhaustible life.

In this place, fun and rest coexist in the same location, since its hotels perfectly combine entertainment with multiple activities and relaxation in its spas with restorative treatments and massages.

This treasure of the Pacific Coast of Mexico has delicious and unique seafood, try the shrimp cocktail that is served hot.

Don’t forget to taste the charcoal-grilled fish and shrimp skewers, a version of the roasted stick fish that is undoubtedly a great snack.

If hunger continues to make noises, give yourself another treat with its delicious “Pescado Zarandeado”, typical throughout the state, the freshness of the catch of the day adds an undeniable plus.

On weekends in Rincón de Guayabitos, you will see an endless path of umbrellas that serve as a personal refuge for each and every traveler who decides to sunbathe and take a nap lulled by the sound of the sea.

In other places, you can experience a real party, with music that emerges from the players among the groups of friends and university students who meet to forget about school or celebrate a birthday.

Meanwhile, families take the opportunity to get together by joining large groups of children and teenagers making sandcastles or playing by the sea. The adults take advantage of the sun and the refreshing “piñas locas” that are served in the nearby palapas.

Rincón de Guayabitos is located 1 hour 50 minutes (98 km / 60 miles) by car from Tepic, the capital of Nayarit; if you arrive from Puerto Vallarta it will take you 1 hour 15 minutes (70 km / 43 miles). In case you decide to travel by plane, you will have to arrive at the airport in either city and hire a tour or rent a car.

San Blas is a typical fishermen’s village, rooted in the charm of quiet beaches, estuary mouths inhabited by birds, the warmth and simplicity of its people, and centuries of history written by the sea; it was one of the most important naval ports of New Spain. Also, this is where the 160 km ( 100 miles ) strip of coast that make up the Riviera Nayarit, on the Pacific coast of Mexico, comes to an end.

The scenery provided by the ocean, the green mountains, and the old colonial buildings of the town of San Blas are incomparable. Everywhere, bicycles are rented to go to the Fort of San Basilio, the fortress that protected it from pirate invasions and is now one of the best viewpoints to feel the sea breeze.

Downhill you can reach el Templo de Nuestra Señora del Rosario (Temple of Our Lady of the Rosary), used for photo sessions because of the light effects created among its arches. You will pass by the ex-maritime customs house, today the Casa de Cultura (House of Culture) with art exhibitions until you reach the dock: the legend says (made into a song) that here, a woman sat for years to wait for her love who never returned.

Right at the dock, the boats leave for the tropical marsh that includes the El Pozo estuary and the San Cristobal River and, of course, the La Tovara National Park -located two kilometers (1 mile) away from San Blas-, one of the most impressive natural attractions of the area with mangroves and hundreds of birds flying, as well as the wooden floating houses (characteristic of the first settlements) recreated to film the Spanish movie “Cabeza de Vaca” (1991).

San Blas would not be the same without its 40 km ( 25 miles ) of beaches such as El Borrego, ideal for a rich hike, swimming, horseback riding or releasing turtles in the summer months at the Aayetsie Wakie turtle camp; Las Islitas, for surfing one of the longest waves in the world; and Bahia de Matanchén, a former pirate and buccaneer haven with palapas to eat “zarandeado” fish, ceviche and banana bread.

To close with a flourish, you must sail to Isabel Island, an oasis of volcanic rock for snorkeling and diving with whale sharks, turtles, and rays.

For those who wonder where to sleep, in San Blas, there are beachfront bungalows and hotels with colonial architecture that blend in perfectly with the landscape, such as Garza Canela and its Delfin restaurant under the command of Mexican chef Betty Vazquez. There is also Hacienda Flamingos and Marina San Blas, surrounded by extensive gardens and infinity edge pools.

San Blas is located an hour and a half from Tepic International Airport.

First thing that comes to our mind when we hear the name of Zipolite is the nude beach located in the Oaxaca State. It is the only beach of this kind in Mexico. It belongs to the San Pedro Pochutla Municipality and is located just a few kilometers from Puerto Angel.

Decades ago in this place nudism was practiced. This is an open beach sea of about 2 kilometers long and 40 meters deep. You can book a tour to enjoy its crystalline water of geen and blue hues.

The name Zipolite means “Death’s Beach” in Zapotec language, and owes its name to a legend that says the Zapotec inhabitants used to bury their beloved ones there.

You can enjoy the lovely weather while you stroll through the riverbank without worrying about anything.

If you are seeking adventure then you can practice different aquatic activities such as surf, recreational diving, snorkeling or fishing. The sea swells are ideal for any of these.
