WHAT YOU VISIT
Real Mexico & Chocolate Experience
It's a short trip from the pier to the laid-back town of Pitillal, known for its authentic experience of Mexican life. Stroll the pretty plaza, home to the beautiful Miguel Arcángel church, shops and vendors selling churros and raw coconut before embarking on a scenic drive to a small, family-run cacao and coffee plantation. Explore the plantation as you sip on a cup of coffee brewed with beans harvested right on the farm. Then, your guide will walk you through the fascinating process of turning raw cacao into rich, delicious chocolate. Of course, no chocolate experience would be complete without tasting the plantation's own handcrafted chocolates followed by a tequila tasting.
PHOTO OPPORTUNITIES
Pitillal's quaint San Miguel Church is dedicated to San Miguel, the town's patron saint. Since its opening in 1989, the church has served the town's faithful and it's common to see people sitting on the temple benches, meditating or praying in silence. Twin towers adorned with crosses, stone and brick facade and stained glass windows are ideal photo subjects.
SHOPPING
Following your tour of the plantation, you'll have some free time to wander the ranch, shop for unique Mexican crafts like ceramics, Huitchol art, and vibrant T-shirts, or simply soak in the peaceful surroundings.
WHAT YOU SEE ALONG THE WAY
Enjoy the brief 15-minute drive from the pier to Pitillal, a suburb of Puerto Vllarta.
