Located on the South side of Bahía de Banderas, Colomitos still remains undiscovered by most. This beautiful little cove is a real treasure and well worth the hike to get there. In fact, the hike is easy enough for anyone to enjoy, approximately 1 mile each way.

After traveling by air conditioned van from the city, you will join your naturalist guide and small group along a hiking path that follows the coastline at the bottom of the Sierras and passes under the canopy of beautiful Plumerias, Palms and Strangling Ficuses. Occasionally, Iguanas can be seen running across the path. Inhabiting the lower regions of these mountains, are Red Foxes, Armadillos, Skunks, Raccoons, and Mountain Crabs. Along this path, you may see termite nests of impressive size and the unique and precarious looking nest of the Yellow-winged Cacique.

Once at Colomitos cove you’ll go snorkeling among many colorful tropical fishes found in that area, including King Angels, Panamic Sergeant Majors, some puffer fishes, eels, and many other species. Before starting our hike back you’ll enjoy a picnic style lunch of small sandwiches, snacks and water at the beautiful golden sand beach.
