FROM THE SIERRA TO THE SEA
It’s not every day you can get away for meaningful connections to the real Mexico—in people, place and culture. From zip-lining, deep-sea fishing, and swimming in waterfall-fed pools to exploring town like a local, our unique tours, adventures, and activities offer infinite possibilities tailored to your tastes. Your only dilemma: where to begin?
TURTLE RELEASE
Right in front of the resort, The Palmarito Turtle Conservation Project hosts baby
turtle releases up to three times each week. Species include green and black sea
turtles, Olive Ridley turtles, and the occasional leatherback turtle. The Vivo Foundation
