About Nayarit

The beaches of San Blas and the so-called "Riviera Nayarit" are popular with tourists. All of Nayarit's popular tourist destinations cluster along the western areas of the Pacific Coast. Besides tourism, the economy of the state is based mainly on agriculture and fishing. Most of the state is rough backcountry dominated by mountains and canyons. These areas are definitely unpopular with tourists and are the home of two indigenous groups: the Huichol and the Cora, who refer to themselves as the Nayarit. The best time of year to travel to Nayarit is January to May. That's the dry season so your plans aren't likely to get rained out. It's also warm, but not so hot that you'll want to stay indoors with the air conditioner blasting. Surfers come to Nayarit all year round, but the water is warme
