More ways to explore the area's outdoor wonders
You step onto a 48-foot yacht as the sun begins its slow exit over Banderas Bay: warm varnished decks underfoot, a light chop rubbing the hull, and Los Arcos cutting a dark silhouette against molten sky. The crew pours a handcrafted cocktail while the city behind you — the stone-sculpted Malecón and the red-tile roofs of Zona Romantica — slides into evening light.
