-

We know you’re more than ready to go on vacation and disconnect from the routine of the last few months, which is why we want to share a few options to help you discover Costa Bahía de Banderas in just three days (in other words, a weekend!) Are you ready to roam in paradise? Keep reading!

No matter where you come from, when you arrive in the Riviera Nayarit you can begin your adventure in any order. All we recommend is that you plan out your route for practical purposes.

Nuevo Vallarta

We recommend staying in one of the hotels in Nuevo Vallarta—there are plenty of options for every budget. For example, there’s the Marival Emotions, Grand Velas, Reflect, Villa La Estancia, Occidental, Paradise Village, Hard Rock, among others. You’ll also find an ample and very delicious culinary offer in Nuevo Vallarta, making your first day of relaxation here simply fabulous.

Bucerías

After taking it easy on your first day you’ll be ready to venture out to the most chill and laid-back micro-destinations in the Riviera Nayarit. Start off with breakfast at El Café in Bucerías, followed by a walk along its cobblestone streets and a visit to the local marketplace, where you’ll find fabulous Huichol art souvenirs. The beach at Bucerías is beautiful and you’ll leave with some great pics. Hungry? Then get up close and personal with some of the tastiest seafood you’ll ever eat at Mariscos Villareal. We recommend the shrimp salad or the ceviche with mayonnaise. You’ll find a bunch of different restaurants right on the beach specializing in all kinds of dishes at every price point. Ready? Then let’s head to La Cruz de Huanacaxtle.

La Cruz de Huanacaxtle

You’ll want to roam the streets in La Cruz de Huanacaxtle and take lots of pictures of the murals or Mexico’s most modern marina—you’ll love it! You can also visit the Mercado del Mar, where the fishermen take their catches of the day and you can buy the freshest produce around. Ready for dinner? Let’s go to Tacos on the Street for some local food, or Frascati if you’d rather try some Italian food with the Riviera Nayarit’s gourmet flair.

Punta de Mita

On your third day in the Riviera Nayarit we invite you to get to know Punta de Mita, a quiet micro-destination with gorgeous beaches. You can get up early and go to Playa La Lancha for a beach day watching the local surfers or head over to Playa El Anclote for some yummy local food. Tuna Blanca and La Pescadora are favorites for lunch. Dinnertime means Hector’s Kitchen, and don’t forget to stop by Calaverita de Mita for a colorful souvenir.

There you go: now you only have 19 micro-destinations to discover. Don’t forget to use the #RivieraNayarit hashtag on your social media—we want to see you enjoying paradise!

Bird Watching Magic in San Jose del Pacifico, Oaxaca

Bullock's oriole By Suzanne Staples While spending time in Oaxaca city in the state of Oaxaca in southern Mexico, we decided to explore the mountainous areas surrounding the city.  Oaxaca rests in a valley between three mountain ranges.  The Majestic Sierra Madre del Sur rises to the south, climbing to about nine thousand feet. At the top, a dense pine-oak forest is interspersed with tree ferns, brilliant orchids and meters-long climbing vines. Tiny red salvia flowers and orange paintbrush generously dot the road that is carved from the steep mountain.  Many of the simple homes along the road at the higher elevations have plant nurseries.  Colorful pots of flowers line up in neat rows against the steep hill.  Pink and red begonias flourish here, as do rich blue Nile lillies and white calla lillies.  The people carry baskets of these blooms into Oaxaca city to sell in the many markets. The small hamlet of San Jose del Pacifico perches along the highway nea

Many people know of Cinco de Mayo , but most don't know why they are celebrating other than having a margarita or tequila shot. In fact, most people outside of Mexico think Cinco de Mayo is Mexican Independence Day , it's not. Cinco de Mayo commemorates the victory of the Mexican forces in the Battle of Puebla over the battle-tested and twice as large army from France in 1862. Some say the key to General Ignacio Zaragoza's victory were the defense of the twin forts; Guadalupe and Loreto in the hills above Puebla.  Inside the walls of Fuerte Loreto  Defensive walls outside the fort Today, the Mexican and Puebla governments have restored these forts and made the surrounding area a large park called  Centro Civico 5 de Mayo.

A Quick Visit to Lake Chapala, Jalisco, Mexico - I'll Be Back!

Sunrise view from Jocotepec overlooking Lake Chapala Nearly a decade ago I was told of a place with perfect weather and a community that was said to be the largest accumulation of American expats in the world.  For many years since I have been flying in and out of Guadalajara confined by a time schedule that never allowed me to take the short trip south to visit this destination.  But last week’s trip was different and after saying goodbye to my group at the Guadalajara International Airport I drove thirty minutes south and ended up on the north shore of Mexico’s largest lake, Chapala. The surface area of Lake Chapala is nearly three times greater than Lake Tahoe and the towns on the shores surrounding the lake are filled with fascinating history.  There are towns known for manufacturing Huarache sandals.  Towns known for  berry farming and even an island that was one of the last strong holds defending against the Spanish invasion in the early 1800’s.  Isla del Presido wa
