Guayabitos and Puerto Vallarta, Mexico

Rincon de Guayabitos and Puerto Vallarta, Mexico – 2013. I was in Mexico on a Habitat for Humanity Global Village build in Las Varas which is a small town located in the state of Nayarit, about 100km north of Puerto Vallarta. Following the build some of the Habitat Global Village team went to Rincon de Guayabitos, Jaltemba Bay, Nayarit Guayabitos is a beach resort town between Chacala and Puerto Vallarta. We stayed at Estancia San Carlos which was an OK hotel. There is lots of shopping and a few very good restaurants in Guayabitos and the prices are a lot less than in Puerto Vallarta. After Guayabitos I spent a couple of nights in Puerto Vallarta. I stayed at Hacienda Alemana which was a very nice hotel in the old (romantic area) area of Puerto Vallarta, close to the Malecón and lots of good restaurants and shopping.
