Meet Yelapa, Mexico
We would like to introduce you to our favorite place, Yelapa, Mexico!
Yelapa rests in the hills of a small bay within a larger bay. The distinct shape of land calms the rough pacific waters. Greeted daily by this tranquil ocean, the bay induces/encourages/generates a slow, rhythmic and calm way of life.
An hour boat ride south of Puerto Vallarta, Yelapa is a hidden jungle gem, built with narrow cobblestone streets, colorful buildings and beautiful shorelines. Decorated with painted murals and mosaic sculptures, the flag lined alleys run about a 25 minute walk from end to end.
Everyday the ocean brings air into the bay tumbled clean by the waves and the jungle. With no cars, trucks, trains, nor planes in town, breathing is easy, wholesome, and refreshing. It is covered with millions of flowers and giant trees with enormous leaves blooming everywhere. It is paradise.
The people of Yelapa and those who have chosen to live there cherish the way this land nurtures life. They are sweet, kind, humble, accommodating, and welcoming. Their approach to life is joyful, calm and determined. Yelapans are excited to have genuine meetings. In the streets, nearly all passers by greet you with a “Bueno Dias”. Because of its small size, seeing the same people out and about each day makes it easy to fall into friendship with locals.
The cuisine in Yelapa is fresh, clean and incredible. An abundance of fruit including mangos, papaya, oranges, red fruit, rose apples, bananas, star fruit, soursop, and guavas grow bountifully. As Yelapa is a fishing town, seafood is caught and prepared daily. Even the tortillas are fresh pressed and grilled at most restaurants and corner grills.
Lodging at Casa Isabel
Guests to Taproot may choose to stay at Casa Isabel or at local Airbnbs for their retreat experience.
Casa Isabel is a seaside jungle Eco Lodge, designed to flow harmoniously with it surrounding environment. Each unique open-air cabin has its own personality, privately facing the ocean or the property’s waterfall.
