All you need to know
Los Arcos, declared a Refuge Zone for the Protection of Marine Flora and Fauna in 1975 by the then Ministry of Industry and Commerce, is one of the most amazing places in the Bahia (bay) de Banderas has to offer. Great spot for swimming, snorkeling, kayaking, paddle boarding and taking lots of pictures! Home to a large variety of tropical sea life and endemic birds and ducks.
Quimixto, a magical fishing village of about 2000 people (about 500 from US & Canada). Completely separated from the world, inviting us to connect with nature. Surrounded by jungle, filled with rivers, a gorgeous waterfall, beautiful beach, amazing surfing (seasonal) and great locals. Located on the South part of the bay, this has become our all-time favorite place.
