Off the beaten path along the coast of the state Nayarit is full of wonderous surprises,from hot springs to pertroglthes which are over 500 years old..... to sucluded beaches miles long with only a few people. We have had to pleasure of meeting some wonderful people that have been generous enough to share the hidden secrets down the dirt roads off the hwy and away from the tourist towns.
