Then it was into the Jeep for the drive through Puerto Vallarta, to Boca de Tomatlan, and inland to El Tuito. We finally came to the first of the three towns of Cabo Corrientes - Mayto. The entrance to the town has the most amazing fence adorned with steer skulls.
The roads are a mix of paved and rough, pot-holed, washboard dirt roads, but the driving wasn't too hair-raising. You are rewarded with this view of the Costa Allegre on your arrival at the coast - an absolutely enormous stretch of beach with nothing on it (yet - there are major development plans for the region).
We stayed at the beachfront Hotel Mayto and got a room on the top floor for 480 pesos per person.
Our room was spacious and comfortable with a great view of the pool.
They serve three meals a day at their beachfront restaurant which has unimpeded views of the beautiful and desolate beach.
After checking in, we went on to explore the other two nearby towns, Villa del Mar and Tehua. Villa del Mar had huge agave fields.
We enjoyed the sunset and dinner at the Hotel Mayto.
We walked the beach the next morning and discovered it is plagued with "no-see-ums"! We were swarmed and it made for a short and unpleasant, if scenic, walk.
In another blog I will include some other trip photos and commentary, but I seem to be limited in the amount per blog. Anyway, we completed our trip with a stop at "El Eden", a waterfall inland from Mismaloya Beach (famous for where the movie "Predator" was filmed.
It was a really fun junket, but we were glad to get back home to Bucerias.
Todo bien. (It's all good.)
