Visiting Mexico, Telling the World MexicoVisitor

  The Riviera Nayarit is known for an extensive coastline that stretches over 307 km, dotted with luxurious developments like Nuevo Vallarta and Punta de Mita, or the emerging Compostela Coast, where tradition shares space with glamorous hotels. However, there is another coast just farther north that is also part of this tourist destination, encompassing the municipalities of San Blas, Santiago Ixcuintla, and Tecuala. During the 70s this area was known as the “Gold Coast” and developed thanks to extensive tobacco plantations that generated great wealth and defined an era, although it has steadily declined over the years.
