SAYULITA MEXICO HIKING Though not often marked in Sayulita, plenty of hiking trails offer visitors routes to secluded beaches and breathtaking views. The following hikes should get you going in the right direction but feel free to ask a local for additional information.Monkey Mountain Head south from Sayulita on the back road to Punta Mita. After approximately two miles, take a right towards Playa Patzcuaro. You will come to a ranch about ? mile down this road towards the beach. An unused road will take you south from here through the jungle to the top of Monkey Mountain. Make sure to pack food and plenty of water for this 4-hour Sayulita hike. Las Cuevas Two miles north of Sayulita, surrounded by rocky cliffs, this tiny horseshoe-shaped beach is perfect for lovers. Carefully watch the ocean so you don't get washed when the tide comes in. Access is by a treacherous rocky path through the brush or through the rock arches on the south side of Playa Malpasos. To find it, walk inland along the arroyo after Sayulita's main beach ends and get on the jungle road until you see another arroyo after the barbed wire fences end. From town you can also reach Playas Cuevas and Malpasos by walking along Calle Las Palmas until it turns into the jungle road. Playa Malpasos is free of rocks and surrounded by palm trees. San Pancho For real exercise, continue walking to the neighboring village of San Francisco AKA San Pancho four miles from Sayulita. One end of the beach is very swimmable and the other end is home to Costa Azul Adventure Resort, a nice place to have a drink and watch the sunset.Playa de Los Muertos In the other direction from Sayulita is Playa de Los Muertos, which is very popular with Mexican families and a safe swimming beach. Huge rocks protect it on both sides. Walk around the curved bay past Villa Amor and head up the hill through the cemetery. When you hit small river walk along it to the ocean. Las Cargadas is the tiny beach past the rocks to the south. There are other little beaches here that are best accessed by kayak from Sayulita.Carrocitos Here, you'll find huge waves and it's very possible that you'll be alone on this wild, windswept beach. There are homes here but most are well hidden in the wooded hill about the water. Taking the one-lane dirt road through the jungle is the best way to get here from Sayulita. Starting at the cemetery, its your second right turn. Through town, follow Nios Heroes until it enters the jungle and make the first left turn. This is an uphill 40-minute walk. |
