Yelapa Waterfall & Majahuitas Beach BBQ

Yelapa, a peaceful fishing village just south of Puerto Vallarta, remains one of the bay’s hidden gems. Accessible only by boat, Yelapa offers a laid-back atmosphere, cobblestone streets, and vibrant murals. It’s a highlight for anyone considering a Yelapa day trip from Puerto Vallarta.

These streets offer spectacular views of the river, shoreline, and the lush tropical vegetation that blankets the foothills of the Sierra Madre mountains. Along your path, you'll discover expressive murals and striking tilework on walls and staircases, making your walk an Instagram-worthy, artistic experience.

At each corner, a new wonder awaits. You'll find street vendors beckoning with their vibrant displays, showcasing handcrafted arts, treasures, and souvenirs. Don’t miss out on a local delicacy simply known as the "Yelapa pie.” Made from tropical fruits like banana, coconut, and lime, this delectable dessert is offered on the beach by families who prepare it the artisanal way at home.

If you don't feel like walking, you have the perfect alternative – unwind at one of Yelapa's charming beachfront restaurants. Picture this: you with a cold, refreshing beer or a tropical drink in hand, seated comfortably as you take in the mesmerizing view of fishing boats gently floating on the tranquil, warm waters of Yelapa.

During the rainy season, a true gem awaits your exploration: the Yelapa waterfall, also known as "Cola de Caballo". If you're embarking on the Yelapa & Majahuitas tour between July and October, seize the opportunity for a guided walk to this refreshing cascade and discover one more reason why Yelapa is nicknamed "the paradise on Earth"
