Yelapa: a paradise near Puerto Vallarta

Yelapa is one of the towns near Friendly Vallarta that you can visit to while visiting the port.

Yelapa is a place without equal; It is a typical coastal town, where you can spend the day without any worry, either in the company of your friends, family or adventure alone.

There is a road that reaches Yelapa, where trucks that transport heavy materials, such as construction materials, transit. We recommend taking the seaway because it is faster. It is easier to get there by boat as there are several starting points from Puerto Vallarta and even Boca de Tomatlan. The cost depends on where you take the boat (distance). You can visit this page to see timetables and starting points.
