We began our drive south on the coastal highway 200 just south of San Blás, but after our stop in Nayarit, it felt like it was truly beginning as we left Puerto Vallarta. Seemingly endless resorts dotted the scenic coastline, but then the road turned inland and climbed into the coastal mountains along an incredible … More Epic Coastline and Endless Waves
A couple of weeks ago we took the ferry from La Paz to Mazatlán, leaving the Baja section of our travels behind.
