Hidden in the jungle of the Sierra Madre Mountains sits Palo Maria, a cascading hike featuring almost a dozen waterfalls. Most only hike to the first, but those willing to free rock climb can continue beyond!

This small waterfall is hidden in the hills behind playa Colomitos on the popular nature hike that runs from Boca de Tomatlan to Las Animas. The hike from Boca to Colomitos takes about 40 minutes, riddled with natural root-built staircases, breathtaking color contrasts & lush jungle. It's a rigorous hike and the trail often changes or disappears in rainy season, so be sure to bring good shoes, bug spray, sunscreen & swimwear.

Yelapa is a charming little town with a traditional culture as close as you can find to old Mexico.
