Sayulita is a village about 25 miles north of downtown Puerto Vallarta in the state of Nayarit, Mexico, with a population of approximately 4,000.
Due to the smallness and close-knit family structure of the town, the culture of Mexico can be easily experienced in Sayulita. Less than 12 years ago, the tourist industry really did not exist in the village.
