Yelapa Village & Waterfall Hike

Discover the magic of Yelapa on this unforgettable village and waterfall adventure, a journey that takes you to one of the most charming and secluded coastal towns in Cabo Corrientes, Jalisco. Tucked away in a quiet cove at the southern end of Bahía de Banderas, Yelapa offers a perfect blend of natural beauty, relaxed beach life, and authentic local culture.
Your experience begins with a scenic journey by boat, offering stunning coastal views and access to some of Puerto Vallarta’s most beautiful beaches along the way. During the boat ride, keep an eye out for dolphins and stingrays year-round, and enjoy whale watching during the winter season.
Once in Yelapa, enjoy an easy jungle hike along shaded paths leading to the impressive Yelapa Waterfall. This hidden oasis features a large natural pool where you can cool off, swim, or simply relax surrounded by lush greenery.
Back in the village, explore colorful streets filled with bougainvillea, local shops, and rustic beachfront restaurants. You’ll have free time to enjoy the beach, watch surfers, shop for souvenirs, or soak in the laid-back atmosphere. Don’t miss fun local encounters like meeting Yelapa’s famous pig, Charlotte, or taking photos with a giant iguana.
This experience combines nature, wildlife, culture, and relaxation, perfect for all ages and activity levels.
