The Riviera Nayarit is located on the coast of the Mexican Pacific in the State of Nayarit within the municipality of the Banderas Bay. This tourism corridor is 307 km long and is only 10 minutes north of Puerto Vallarta's International Airport. (Riviera Nayarit)

In this area of the country, there’s an eclectic mix of expats from all over the world, along with a proud local Mexican culture. You want your ham-and-eggs breakfast with a latte? Or some tasty huevos a la Mexicana with fresh tortillas? It’s all here.

But there is much more to explore and enjoy outside of the beautiful city in the heart of the sparkling Bay of Banderas.

This region is full of dense jungle foliage — where towering ferns, palms and vines join together in jumbles of tumbling bougainvillea and hibiscus surrounding azure Pacific waters. The dense mountains loom behind at various angles, making for landscapes Gauguin would have loved to paint.
