Bandera’s Bay is home to this small and idyllic fishing village.
Yelapa is thirty minutes by boat from downtown Puerto Vallarta or Boca de Tomatlan, near Puerto Vallarta, and is therefore inaccessible to cars. The gorgeous landscape is untainted by cars, and visitors can expect to instead see many donkeys and horses in the town’s narrow pathways.
Yelapa is an indigenous community, known as a comunidad ingena- a reservation set apart and protected by law. The community holds the land collectively, and foreigners are not allowed to purchase land in Yelapa.
As a result, the beautiful little town is like an untouched and unspoiled hidden gem with a relaxing atmosphere- ideal for a getaway from the hustle and bustle of everyday life.
