What To Expect
Make your way to the Vallarta Office in Puerto Vallarta to meet your guide and tour group. Climb aboard a comfortable vehicle for the journey through the Sierra Madre to San Sebastián. This small village of less than a thousand residents had several periods of 'gold fever' between the 17th and 20th centuries. Walk around the quiet streets, featuring whitewashed buildings and examples of colonial architecture. Learn about the village's history and see what rural Mexican village life is like. See how locals cultivate coffee and agave, as well as raise cattle. Visit the 18th-century church dedicated to the town's namesake saint, stroll around the charming cobblestone plaza and snap photos of the classic Porifian bandstand. At the conclusion of your time in San Sebastián, enjoy the scenic ride back to Puerto Vallarta.
