San Sebastian del Oeste
Burrowed deep in the heart of the Sierra Madre Mountains, San Sebastian’s remote setting has made it one of Mexico’s last remaining secrets. While this tiny mountain enclave (elevation 4500 ft) isn’t far from Puerto Vallarta, it’s still a world away from the usual tourist haunts.

On the way there you’ll see everyday scenes of rural life and some of the most breathtaking views Mexico has to offer.

Coffee & Agave
Although those gold rush years are long gone and settlers have since moved on, this beautiful mountain village of just 600 residents has kept its true colonial heritage. A shining example of an ancient Mexican village and well known for its corn and cattle trade, San Sebastian is now cultivating coffee and agave in its lush

Taking a trip to the Marietas Islands, everyone anxiously awaits the spotting of whales and dolphins but the ocean is also home to a plethora of majestic giant manta rays, sea turtles and exotic tropical fish, also plays host to many indigenous feathered friends like the blue footed boobies and red-billed tropicbirds and, sadly, some of the world’s last remaining Green Macaws.
