What To Expect
Designed for travelers who enjoy long walks, nature, and immersive outdoor experiences, this 12 km (7.46 mi) coastal hike takes you beyond the usual paths to discover beautiful landscapes around Sayulita.
Our journey begins in Sayulita, heading toward Mal Paso Beach through coastal trails surrounded by tropical jungle and beautiful Pacific Ocean views. Once there, you'll have time to rest, breathe in the fresh ocean air, and enjoy the peaceful surroundings.
We’ll continue through lush vegetation and jungle trails toward San Pancho, where we’ll visit the local Farmers Market. Take time to explore, discover local products, experience the town’s everyday life, and grab a snack for the journey.
From San Pancho, we'll continue toward the Buddha, a peaceful stone statue nestled in a small sanctuary surrounded by nature. Here, you'll have a moment to slow down, breathe, and take in the landscape.
The route includes a few uphill sections, but most of the trail is relatively flat. This full-day experience is ideal for active travelers who enjoy walking, nature, and discovering places beyond the usual tourist path.
At the end of the hike, transportation back to Sayulita is included.
