The Riviera Nayarit stands out in 2020 on one of the most important online platforms in the world: Lonely Planet. Thanks to an article written by travel journalist Bailey Freeman, who visited this tourist destination between January 29 and February 3.

with original title Riviera Nayarit is Mexico's best low-key coastal road trip (Riviera Nayarit is the best discreet coastal trip in Mexico), the author takes a tour of the main towns located on the seashore: La Huanacaxtle Cross, Bucerias, sayulita, San Pancho and Lo de Marcos to the twice Historic Port of San Blas.

“Riviera Nayarit is a microcosm of so many things that make traveling in Mexico great. Friendly towns, spectacular views of the beach, delicious food straight from the sea and mezcal, lots of mezcal. And the best part? Thanks to a good highway system that hugs the coast, the state of Nayarit is home to the perfect road trip.” (Introduction to Bailey Freeman's article)

Sayulita is the tourist hub of Riviera Nayarit, but for good reason. Fun boutiques, surf shops, restaurants and bars abound, and it makes for a lively place to spend an afternoon and evening. Plus, the downtown is draped in thousands of Ojo de Dios weavings, adding an extra layer of charm. * * * #sayulitas #mexicotravel #rivieranayarit #lonelyplanet #culturetravel #huicholart

The Huichol, an indigenous group hailing from the Sierra Madre region, are well known for their absolutely eye-popping art. Pieces range from sculptures to elaborate scenes, and they are made from setting either tiny glass beads or thread into beeswax. This is Jose Carrillo, the artist who created this incredible piece depicting a ceremony that was going to take place a few days after I left Mexico. You know I stocked up on this precious artwork, and I wish I could have bought every piece! If you want to see his art firsthand and take some home yourself, seek out his stand at the La Cruz de Huanacaxtle Farmers Market. * * * #huicholart #mexicanart #mexicotravel #rivieranayarit #lonelyplanet #shoplocal #lacruzfarmersmarket
