Revealing a New Facet of Mexico in the State of Nayarit

Known as the “jewel of Mexico” and home to a Virtuoso Preferred Destination, the state of Nayarit remains in many ways a hidden gem. While many have experienced the pristine beauty of its iconic beach area of Riviera Nayarit -- along with its fine roster of all-inclusive and boutique resorts -- there are so many more rich attractions awaiting visitors farther inland.

Along Nayarit’s volcanic arc up against the Sierra Madre Mountains, for example, adventurers will find coffee farms and great hiking trails, and elsewhere rolling hills and vineyards await, as do lagoons surrounded by waterfalls and forest, all brimming with wildlife. And throughout this tiny country and its nearby archipelago, there are Magical Towns sure to enchant with their colonial architecture, superb restaurants, wellness offerings and activities ranging from surfing to shopping for luxury items as well as indigenous crafts.
