Los Ayala
Los Ayala is located at the south of the Jaltemba Bay in Nayarit. To the southwest lies not developed but unique Punta Razza and to the north are the two villages Rincon de Guayabitos and La Peñita de Jaltemba located. While Rincon is the largest one, Los Ayala is the smallest but it provides the best view on the entire bay. Los Ayala consists mainly of vacation homes, which the owners call casitas. The village offers most travel related services and if you can’t find something just take a cheap taxi to Rincon de Guayabitos and find it there. As the view over the bay is perfect the visitor also has a perfect view to the small island Isla del Coral, where tourists see colorful fishes in their natural habitat from glass-bottom boats or while snorkeling around the island. Some nearby beaches are accessible by boat only and worth to visit them. Los Ayalas name goes back to a Mexican family which settled there first.
Altavista
Altavista
is a place where the rock speaks and communicates with
the present day man through its engravings, in a "live" place,
since today's Huichol Indians come here from far-away communities
to worship their Gods. Visiting this place is a unique
experience to relive the past and to connect with nature.
It is recommended to visit this place in the company of
a licensed guide in order to obtain an interpretation of
the engravings.

by the "Nahuatlacas" that stayed here during
their voyage from the island of "Mexcaltitán" to

word "Xalli-tem-pa", which means "place
at the bank of the sand".

Las Cuevas
It is an incredible semi-virgin beach, surrounded by

greenish turquoise shade and the sand is soft and light
colored.
Los Ayala
The name was taken from the last name of some brothers
that were engaged in robbing the hacienda of the la

of accommodations. The surf is high and calm on its beach.
