Mexico's Leading Eco-Resort

A Myriad of Peoples

For millenia this special place has drawn visitors to the opportunity of enjoying the natural warmth of the sun and ocean, as well as as the magical energy of the moon, sun, ocean, mountains and estuary where they come together.
 
 
It has been a favorite for a myriad of peoples since well before Columbian times, as evidenced by the bits of pottery, arrowheads, and other pre-Columbian artifacts which come to light pushed up by roots of our coconut palms.
 
The region around Playa Las Tortugas was inhabited most recently from pre-Columbian times until now by such as the Cora and Huichol indigenous groups who settled in the mountains of the Sierra Madre Occidental range just to our east, and has also hosted many others.
