ABOUT:
We meet in Zona Romantica, old center of Puerto Vallarta. Here we take an urban transport just like the locals do!

After a pleasant 25 min ride along the coast we get off at a picturesque fisher town.
Here we start our hike following the riverbank and ascent in the tropical forest with some amazing views!

A short 40 minute hike brings us to our first destination: Colomitos Beach, officially the smallest beach in Mexico!
After a rest and pictures we continue our path and leave the many tourist behind us to explore more hidden beaches.

Here we have the opportunity to swim alone and feel in paradise.
If the sea is calm, we will visit a secret place where to snorkel and observe a great diversity of fish!

After this refreshing break we continue to our final destination: 'Playa las animas'.
Here we can have an incredible local seafood plate. (Not included)

Last but not least we take the boat back to where we started the hike. Here we will see the bay from a total different perspective!
