Getting there

Carretera a Barra de Navidad km 7.5, 15 minutes south of downtown Puerto Vallarta. Garza Blanca's restaurants are down the hill. Hike up the Palo María river to a waterfall and swimming hole. The beach to the left, across the creek and up the stairs, is calm enough for children. Exact address is sent after booking.
