Explore Sayulita While Riding a Bike!

While you’re staying at Villa Estrella, you’ll love the opportunity to explore Sayulita. Sayulita is a coastal village about an hour and a half drive from your luxury villa. It’s an easy drive to get there and completely worthwhile. Feel welcome to head to the gatehouse to arrange for a car and driver if you haven’t rented a vehicle of your own.

That said, once you arrive, being able to explore Sayulita at a slower and more leisurely pace is often preferred to viewing it from a car. Certainly, you can get out and stroll, but a growing number of visitors are renting bicycles to see this area in a whole different way.

Arriving to Explore Sayulita

There will be no mystery when you’ve arrived to explore Sayulita. The moment you pass the welcome sign to the village, you’ll be able to see decorative cut paper hanging over the main street. This is a traditional art form called papel picado that is valued and practiced in this region. As soon as you spot it, you’re certain to be enchanted by it.

Explore Sayulita Along the Coast

Once you’ve cycled along the main stretch, and it’s time to relax a little, head on over to the coast. You can continue to ride your bike for a leisurely pace. That said, if you’d prefer more excitement, you can rent an ATV. If your heart is for eco-tourism, take this opportunity to adopt a turtles nest at the turtle sanctuary, helping to improve their conservation efforts.

On the water, you’ll be able to surf, boogie board or paddleboard to your heart’s content. If you’re experienced, you can rent a board and are ready to go. That said, there are always lots of lessons offered for beginners or for those who want to improve their skills while they’re there.

Explore Sayulita Along the Cobblestone Streets

The reason you’ll want to keep your cycling leisurely is that the streets are a stunning cobblestone. This changes the pace of the town, encouraging both cyclists and pedestrians to take it easy. This added time lets you truly explore Sayulita and experience this Pueblo Mágico (Magic Town).

Don’t simply rush by, seeing everything at a glance. Pay attention to what you’re seeing and truly explore Sayulita. Suddenly, you’ll find yourself stopping and getting a taste for the local and freshly made sorbets and breads. You’ll check out gorgeous boutiques and crafts stalls and will be amazed enough in the art galleries to bring a piece of unique Huichol artwork home with you.

Of course, don’t forget to eat while you’re there. Near the beach, get octopus tostada or ceviche, try the fresh guacamole, have shrimp tacos or even have your first pineapple filled with shrimp!
