Description
Yelapa is part of the native community located along the south side of Banderas Bay. The incomparable beauty and charm, as well as the simple lifestyle, has attracted people from all over the world. The village is accessed by cobblestone foot paths and dirt trails as there are no roads and no cars. The cove of Yelapa is tucked in at the base of the mountains and has a ¼ mile wide long sandy beach and a mountain-river with waterfall (seasonal).
The natives with their pet Parrots and Iguanas, along with artisans and local treats like homemade Yelapa Pie and Raicilla (similar to Tequila), make Yelapa a tropical paradise not to be missed. Head out across Banderas Bay and keep an eye out for marine life (Dolphins, Giant Manta Rays, Sea Turtles, Whales (Seasonal) and a wide variety of marine birds). Snorkel at one of the beautiful secluded locations along the south shore where you can follow our guided tour or explore on your own.
Tour the village visiting the Rosewood Artisans, the local church, and other local sights and then swim under the waterfall (seasonal). Afterwards, have lunch at a beach restaurant and then relax on the beach. Small groups and personalized service make this a must for those who want to explore and see a unique part of Mexico.
