About

This excursion is ideal for travelers who want to take a step further in their trip. For those looking for cultural experiences and adventures that transform them. This trip includes opportunities to get to know the local gastronomy, private homes, swim in destinations of marine fauna, ride a horse or coexist with species in their natural habitat. This tiny village in Mexico is the perfect destination for beach bums and escapists. What’s best about this place, aside from its glittering tropical beauty, is its timelessness. In the carless village, donkeys still serve as cargo trucks, sunshine and roosters are the only alarm clocks, and life’s major decisions are of the snorkeling-or-siesta variety.

Ready to experience a hidden Yelapa waterfall? This is the tour for you! Stroll through the charming fishing village to the cascading, Cola de Caballo waterfalls and jump into the refreshing water, or simply sit and enjoy the natural beauty. Browse through the native artisan handicrafts along the way, then kick-back in the sun at Yelapa's expansive beach where the river streams into the ocean, surrounded by an incomparable green mountains landscape. Whether you hike to the waterfalls, snorkel or bury your toes in the sand, you’ll be struck by the idyllic beauty of these tropical retreats.
