Riviera Nayarit - Mexico's Latest Up-and-Coming Destination

[Iberostar Hotels & Resorts]

The Riviera Nayarit is a tourist corridor of a little more than 160 kilometers in length which has become one of the top recreational destinations for travelers seeking new experiences and activities which are out of their reach in their homelands. With a tourist offer to suit all budgets, thanks to its incredible landscapes, the destination offers fairytale beaches and picturesque towns, in addition to perfect facilities for the complete enjoyment of visitors and a world of possibilities that will not disappoint a single soul.

Fans of rural tourism will be able to take long rides on horseback, travel through the treetops by zip-line, take ATV tours, as well as studying hundreds of species of tropical and migratory birds in the long list of natural parks in the zone. But, in addition to the contact with nature available, visitors who love the sea and activities related to it will be able to take long trips through the mangrove swamps in a canoe, immerse themselves in the intriguing world of crocodiles at the crocodile farms, surf, go snorkeling and witness some incredible sea beds, take part in the experience of freeing sea turtles and swim with dolphins and sea lions in any of the amusement parks that offer this experience. Not forgetting recreational fishing, which attracts hundreds of thousands of visitors.

But for those who love history and traditions, Riviera offers the possibility to coexist with the indigenous Huichol, Cora, Tepehuán and Mexicanero communities, each with their own tradition, clothing, gastronomy and culture, which reaffirm the unique and authentic flavor of this incredible destination. The colors of the Huichol people’s clothing, the ceramic art of the Cora people, the Huichol-art-bags and clay pots of the Tepehuanes, and the baskets and wood sculptures of the Mexicaneros will undoubtedly be a great memory of your stay in the Riviera Nayarit.

But furthermore, the Riviera Nayarit also has room for visitors seeking excellence and luxury in each of their trips. Luxury spas, dinners and meals in five-diamond restaurants, and an incredible offer of golf courses will not leave even a minute for boredom to set in during your stay.

There must be a reason why the region is one of those destinations that almost nobody wants to miss.

 

Do not miss: If you travel to the Riviera Nayarit between December and March, you cannot miss the opportunity to go humpback-whale spotting as the creatures arrive on the coasts of the Marieta Islands to mate. A unique spectacle.
