About Nayarit:
Nayarit is a state in western Mexico, nestled between the lush mountains of the Sierra Madre Occidental and the Pacific Ocean. Beyond its beaches, Nayarit boasts mountains, volcanoes, freshwater lagoons, colonial towns, and a rich cultural tapestry. The region is home to various indigenous ethnic groups, including the Coras, Huicholes, Tepehuanos, and Mexicaneros, who warmly welcome visitors, share their crafts, and celebrate their traditions. This area is often referred to as the Nayarit Valley.
On the other hand, Riviera Nayarit, with its 192 miles of coastline, harbors the colonial city of San Blas. The 16th-century San Basilio Fort once guarded the area against pirates. To the south lie the surfer-friendly beaches of Bahía de Matanchén, while to the north stands Isla de Mexcaltitán, considered the cradle of Aztec civilization.
