Villa Puesta del Sol, Tropical Paradise in Mexico in Playa Las Tortugas

Playa Las Tortugas is an unspoiled, non-commercial paradise. It is located approximately one and a
half hours north of Puerto Vallarta on the Riviera Nayarit.
�My Shangri-La, the place I could recommend without reservation or caveat ... I�ve been in search of
the perfect beach since I first saw the ocean, decades ago. Now I�ve found it.� The Washington Post
Our Non-Smoking property adjoins a saltwater estuary that is an amazing place to play, swim, and
explore. The bird life is phenomenal. There is also a turtle sanctuary on the beach. During certain
times of the year the turtles are laying eggs and hatchlings are protected and released into the sea.
If your idea of a vacation is peace and quite in an environment rich in natural beauty and serenity
then look no further.
Villa Puesta del Sol is a charming villa offering all the amenities of home. Just steps from the pool
and 150 feet from the beach every thing you need is just a moment from your door step. Transportation
and meal plans can be arranged.
Imagine a place where you have no noise from automobiles or airplanes, no residual light from
population centers. The sounds of the ocean and a sky so brilliant that it seems you can touch the
stars. Spend your days walking on the beach, sun tanning, kayaking, buggy boarding, surfing, or just
sitting by the pool with a cool drink. And talk about a great place for kids. Put on the sunscreen
and it�s off to the beach. It is amazing how much enjoyment the beach can provide.
We have seen all advertisements for tropical paradises and I can say from all the years we have
traveled the world, that Playa Las Tortugas is as good as it gets.
Please contact us with any questions or information you may have. We look forward to sharing our
little piece of heaven with you, your family, and friends.
"It's an idyllic spot for eco-loving families, located at the end of 11 miles of pristine white-sand
beach, between the beach and an 1,100-acre salt-water tidal estuary that 's home to more than two
dozen species of birds including herons, egrets, pelicans, and storks." The Sunday Republican,
Springfield, MA.
Our entire state of Nayarit area enjoys one of the most favorable climates in the world. Average
daily year-round temperatures range from highs of 80-85 degrees (perfect beach weather) to lows of 60-
70 degrees (perfect sleeping weather). Swim year round, but consider packing a light sweater for the
evenings in the winter months. Rain, when it falls, generally occurs between June and September as
night-time or pre-dawn thundershowers.
You can visit small typical Mexican villages, enjoy fresh fish and other local seafood at small
rustic beachfront restaurants, tour a tropical river and waterfalls, see historic San Blas, and drive
up through the foothills of the Sierra Madre mountains to colonial Tepic where crafts of the Huichol
Indians are found.
Playa Las Tortugas has kilometers of uncrowded, clean sand beach, and a number of activities both on
property and nearby such as Surfing, Wave Kayaking, Boogie Boarding, Fishing, and Shelling, Canoeing,
Whale Watching, Bird Watching, Walking or Running on Miles of Sand Beach, and Sea Turtle Conservation
activities (during season) at the Sea Turtle Conservation Camp.
Frequently there is one festival or another in small towns within an hour of our location. There are
a number of excursions you might take, with or without a guide.
Playa Las Tortugas is located on a section of coastline which is nesting habitat of several species
of sea turtle in the beautiful state of Nayarit, Mexico 70 miles north of the Puerto Vallarta (PVR)
International Airport and about 50 miles west of Tepic, the colonial capital of Nayarit.
We are happy to arrange transportation for you in our private shuttle, you may rent a car and drive
your self which a large number of our guests do, or if you'd like to be more adventurous you may

It�s quite easy to find your way from the Puerto Vallarta International Airport to Playa Las
Tortugas, and the roads are normally well-maintained. Your valid driver's license is accepted in
Mexico, and the driving rules are virtually the same as most countries. Write us for a copy of
detailed driving instructions and a map. Your scenic drive north from the airport takes less than 2
hours and goes through areas of old-growth jungle and coastal hills.

�I have the privilege of experiencing a working sea-turtle camp firsthand because I am staying at
Playa Las Tortugas, a charming, ecologically minded property on an otherwise uninhabited stretch of
pristine beach. Next to a tidal estuary lined with mangroves�where I spend a glorious afternoon in a
canoe, spotting roseate spoonbills and great blue herons,among other bird species�this property
demonstrates the value of conscientious development.� Alaska Airlines Magazine
