Bahía de Banderas is home to two of the most picturesque coves in all of Mexico: Yelapa and Majahuitas. Sandy beaches, warm ocean waters, and tropical wildlife both on land and in the sea, Yelapa and Majahuitas are everything you would imagine when you think of tropical cove paradise. Relax on the breathtaking Yelapa beach or take a scenic hike in the area around Majahuitas. Accessible only by boat, Majahuitas Cove features spectacular marine wildlife protected from the human hustle and bustle of nearby Puerto Vallarta.

Afterward, hike to a hidden waterfall, enjoy the natural pools, or stroll through the charming fishing village. Don’t forget to browse through the native artisan handicrafts along the way, then kick-back in the sun at Yelapas expansive beach where the river streams into the ocean, surrounded by an incomparable green mountains landscape.
