RIVIERA NAYARIT

Settled on the imposing Western Sierra Madre, and lapped by the Ocean Pacific waters, the Nayarit Riviera is rapidly becoming one of Mexico’s most attractive tourist destinations. The area is a 192 mile stretch of coastline, complemented by jungle-clad mountains and facing offshore islands. There is plenty of remote backcountry for those wanting to see a more rustic side of rural Mexico.

Along Nayarit’s coast, visitors will find beaches for all likes and tastes: some with exclusive hotel complexes for those looking for luxury; others with few visitors for those looking to relax; some with strong waves for surfers… we should add islands, swamps and picturesque towns to the attractions of this area.

Banderas Bay is located on the southern section of the Nayarit Riviera; it is famous for being the destination spot for thousands of humpback whales that offer an unmatched spectacle.

There are many culinary options at the Nayarit Riviera: Luxury hotels and restaurants serve gourmet dishes prepared with fresh seafood, always with a pre-Hispanic touch. At the beach and the town, visitors can try exquisite delicacies.

Without a doubt, its beaches are its main tourism attraction, in addition to its delicious food, the warmth of its people and its wide array of nightly entertainment. Today, Acapulco is still a famous destination that attracts millions of tourists; most of them Mexican. It is divided in three huge tourism zones: Traditional Acapulco, Golden Acapulco and Diamond Acapulco. The Traditional Zone had its boom from middle to late 20th century, while Golden and Diamond Acapulco are the most opulent regions, where the luxurious resorts are located.

In Acapulco it is said that the night is not for sleeping and there’s fun for all ages.
