A small fishing village just 17 miles south of Puerto Vallarta, Mexico, Yelapa
is accessible
only
by boat.
The most popular approach is
by water taxi. |
|

The village itself sits on a hillside above the beach. |

Just a short hike from the village is the town waterfall restaurant. Bring your
suit
and go for a swim.
|

The El Tuito River feeds this peaceful lagoon, filled with water fowl. Hike up river to find other waterfalls and
swimming spots. |

Meandering streets and stone steps take you through a scattering of small stores and restaurants. For entertainment there
are live music venues, discos, and a
Mexican baile on
Saturday
nights.

|

When you're ready for some excitement, take
a parasailing lesson on the beach, then go for the ride of your life. |
Take a day trip to
the remote Marietta Islands, keeping your eyes peeled for whales and dolphins. Spend the day snorkeling,then
relax in the shade of beach caves and enjoy the best ceviche you've ever tasted. |
