SAN SEBASTIÁN DEL OESTE TOUR
Take a ride along beautiful winding roads through lush tropical vegetation to a historic town tucked away in the Sierra Madre mountain range. San Sebastián del Oeste is one of the best-hidden places in Mexico, and one of the most well-preserved towns, dating back to 1605. It was settled by silver miners hoping to cash in on some of the region’s precious natural resources. View the incredible architecture of the buildings that still stand today, and learn more about the rich heritage and culture found in this living gem of Mexican history.
Our friendly and knowledgeable local experts will guide you on this tour right in the middle of San Sebastián del Oeste, where you’ll have time to explore the town’s historical landmarks. You’ll also learn about San Sebastian’s days as a colonial town in the 1700s. This walking tour is unrivaled when it comes to spending a day immersed in history and authentic Mexican culture in a town that is tucked away from busy tourist destinations.
SAYULITA & SAN PANCHO TOUR
The cool and colorful beach towns of Sayulita and San Pancho, north of Vallarta, will make you want to stay as long as possible and bask in their beauty. Be sure to check out some of the local art and try the delicious food while you’re there. You can opt for a scenic hike between the two cities if you choose, but we recommend the tour because it allows more time to explore these culture-filled hot spots.
Sayulita is known as a surfer’s paradise and is a great place to party. Music fills the air and shops line the streets. Sayulita is a colorful town full of artisans and artists creating handmade jewelry, decorative pieces, beautiful garments and all kind of works of art. Do some shopping, grab a drink, and join the fun!
San Pancho is a thriving art community, complete with a children’s art center (Entreamigos), library, and performance space. While touring San Pancho, stop at an organic cacao shop called Mexicolate, where you will have the opportunity to try, not only delicious chocolate truffles but also the less known toasted cacao beans and cacao tea.
