Well worth a visit. There is a small restaurant there that serves drinks and nice Mexican food. Tables overlooking the bay. It’s a lovely place for Comida. Small but the people were very welcoming and the food was good. Charming. The chairs were all brightly painted with Mexican scenes.

One of San Blas' main beaches.

The place offers clean sand, breeze and oncean, along with a good choice of restaurants and places to stay with a company or alone. The sunset watching is a must activity here. The place is suprizingly quite as there are no annoying sellers, even on the weekends.

This three-hour guided boat trip takes you through the estuary and mangrove swamps to a natural pool at La Tovara Spring, where guests are encouraged to swim with an (allegedly) tame crocodile.

This long and winding river full of exotic birds and wildlife is the perfect backdrop for a water trip.
Reviewed By Persim - Asheville, United States
We took the late day boat ride with Chencho going thru the mangroves, going out in the daylight and returning in dark. It was a spectacular ride, and Chencho was a great source for finding the very camouflaged roosting birds, a boat-billed heron rookery, and night-flying birds and crocs. Young children might find it a bit long and you definitely want to have bug spray. It was a magical, different from the typical beach and shopping experiences of coastal Mexico.

Unadultered authentic Nayarit small lovely friendliest town. People relaxed, happy and helpful at every turn. Food exquisite and favorite eating was on the broad street leading in and out if town near the hill up to the Condaturia. Accommodations intimate, immaculate, gardened thoroughly and best bug pool For laps which I seemed to have to myself. Birding probably the best dense (!) ever of Pacific given our pretty small sphere of travel ( up into mountains, down along shore but not in breath of Kilometres). We are already planning a hearty return next year.
