Pueblo Mágico Sayulita

We know you will fall in love with this paradise, rich in culture, full of colors and fascinating for its delicious gastronomy. Sayulita has a “good vibes”: its colorful streets, Huichol art galleries and waves that have been conquered by surfers from all over the world make it the most hippy-chic Pueblo Mágico of the entire Riviera Nayarit, whose gate leads through another destination from Sun and Beach pampers in Mexico, Puerto Vallarta, just 40 minutes away.
The action is concentrated on the beach day and night. With the first rays of sunshine you will see the constant comings and goings of surfers with boards on their heads waiting for the best wave. The most experienced surfers make time to give lessons on the beach. There are shops / schools that also include the domain of the paddle surfboard
If you prefer to relax, just lie down in the sun and enjoy the hammocks. Sayulita has a turtle camp so you can enjoy the Pacific Ridley sea turtle release at sunset between June and November. The humpback whale can be seen jumping off the coast from January to March.

To get some rest from the sea, one just has to go to the city center and walk the streets. The most visited street is Manuel Navarrete with its vegetarian, fresh fish and fish restaurants and rustic pizzerias, although there is an international gastronomic offer. There are also bars where you can enjoy a shot of “raicilla,” a local distilled drink made from agave.
There are also boutique hotels which, with their artistic facades and few rooms, give the village an unconventional feel. Here you will also find galleries, boutiques, and craft studios that pay tribute to the Huichol culture.

To escape the hustle and bustle, you can spend a few days in a yoga exercise enclosure in the middle of the jungle and with a breathtaking sea view. Technology-free, for a total detox.

Sayulita would be nothing without its little piece of jungle, ready for you to explore on hikes, horseback riding or a zipline adventure tour.

Visit the following attractions in Sayulita that Las Almas Tour & Travel has put together for you.

➢ Cerro del Mono (The Monkey's Mountain)

To enjoy the majesty of the Pacific Ocean and its twilight, you must climb the summit of Cerro del Mono (The Mountain of the Monkey), which overlooks the Pueblo Mágico of Sayulita and Punta Mita.

Higuera Blanca is the closest town and gateway to the mountain. After crossing the small square, slowly enter the jungle. Do it slowly because the mountain hike is difficult. It can take up to an hour to reach the summit, a 360 ° viewpoint north of Bahía de Banderas and the peninsula that houses the beaches of the islands of Sayulita, Punta Mita, Litibú and Marietas.

The closer you get to the summit, the more obstacles such as rocks and tree trunks you should overcome. That is why many of the hikes are carried out with a guide - they know the safest short cuts. They also explain the flora and fauna of the place to you.

Some rooms are ideal for stopping and watching nature grow unhindered on the hill and making you feel like you are admiring vertical gardens. Other locations are perfect for resting and photographing different angles of the ocean.

If you climb the Cerro del Mono at 350 meters you will reach the summit, where you will have to wait for the sunset to see the sky painted with orange and purple tones. So plan this walk after four in the afternoon.

➢ Mi Chaparrita Ranch

Mi Chaparrita is an ecotourism ranch hidden in the jungle just a few kilometers from Pueblo Mágico de Sayulita. It offers experiences that allow you to come into contact with the four natural elements: earth, water, air and fire. Delicious recognized.

➢ Canopy

Canopy is one of the most popular activities - a 13-zip zipline and four suspension bridges to cross the jungle over the treetops. To add more adrenaline, you can rent an ATV tour to Cerro de La Loca. At the end you will find a secret and lonely beach. Another option is an off-road trip to San Francisco, also known as "San Pancho".

To see the sunset, Rancho Mi Chaparrita offers horseback riding at five in the afternoon. After two hours, you'll have the option to return to your hotel or immerse yourself in a campfire night. Other activities include snorkeling, surfing courses, hiking on Cerro del Mono and day trips to Islas Marietas or Isla Coral in Rincón de Guayabitos.

Playa del Toro is another must-see. You can take a 40-minute boat tour from Sayulita. You reach the turquoise lonely water of Eden, where you will find the reef for yourself. There you can snorkel and walk the 200 meter long beach.

➢ Galleries

The Pueblo Mágico of Sayulita has always been an attraction for national and international artists and creatives. This has made it possible to line the downtown streets with art galleries, jewelry stores, designer fashion boutiques, and Huichol art craft shops.

This is how we find Tanana, a gallery founded by the Valadez couple - she is an anthropologist and he is a Wixárika artist. The exhibited and sold objects such as sculptures made of “chaquira” (tiny pearls) and textiles are made by Huichol hands from the Sierra de Nayarit

➢ Revolución del Sueño

Revolución del Sueño is a trendy fashion store, not only because of its colorful facade, but also because it takes its inspiration from Mexican design. Once in the store, you will go crazy for Frida Kahlo and Emiliano Zapata's pillows and jewelry boxes with sarcastic messages.

➢ Artifact

» there is a collection of rustic furniture made using traditional techniques from different regions of Mexico. You certainly want to take a stylish clay pot with you too.

➢ Huicholes

If decoration is your thing, check out the Huicholes decorated cow skulls from Evoke the Spirit. In addition, you can spend an afternoon learning macrame and making wool pompoms, which have become characteristic because of their colourfulness. They are also used as amulets for travelers.

➢ Marietas Islands National Park

Playa del Amor (The Beach of Love) or Playa Escondida (The Hidden Beach) is known worldwide thanks to a photo: a beach trapped in a cave with a collapsed roof. This scenario is 100% Nayarita and is located in the Parque Nacional Islas Marietas (National Park of the Marietas Islands), a small archipelago recognized as a Biosphere Reserve and located a few kilometers off the coast of Sayulita.

➢ The boat trip to the archipelago

The boat trip to the archipelago is an experience as you can spot dolphins, humpback whales (in the migration season), giant manta rays and killer whales along the route. When the boat arrives you can see that the archipelago is made up of two main islands: Isla Larga and La Ronda .

Tip:

However, always start at Playa del Amor, which is accessed by swimming through a volcanic rock tunnel. The beach is small and visitors are allowed to stay there for 30 minutes in groups of no more than 15 people.
