The beautiful municipality of San Blas<\/strong>, not only encompasses the amazing beaches<\/a>, marshes<\/a><\/strong>\u00a0and mangroves<\/strong><\/a>, you can also find fantastic mountain landscapes<\/strong>. Today we invite you to visit Jalcocotan (Hal-coco-tan)<\/em><\/strong>.<\/p>\n

This picturesque village of almost 5,000 inhabitants is one of the oldest human settlements in the state of Nayarit<\/strong>. Its original name was “Xallicocotlan” (Sha-lee-coco-tlan)<\/em><\/strong>, which is divided into three words of Nahua<\/strong> origin: “Xalli” (Sand), “Cocotl” (Dove) and “Tlan” (Place).<\/p>\n

As it is known, the old settlers used to name the places according to what they found around them. So Jalcocotan<\/strong> literally means: “Place of doves and sand”<\/strong>. Nothing far from reality, because this nayarita hideout is so peaceful that invites you to have a pause on the road and rest under the shade of its leafy trees.<\/p>\n

In this region, you can find the delicious capomo coffee<\/strong><\/a>, which is less acid than regular coffee and brings greater health benefits. If you are a fan of this drink, don’t forget to take your good portion to enjoy it at home.<\/p>\n

In addition, Jalcocotan is very close to other attractions of the municipality, such as Tecuitata<\/strong><\/a>, with its streams, springs and water park; The fantastic Salto del Cora<\/strong><\/a>, with its 40 meters waterfall and the exciting cycling routes<\/strong><\/a>, are also just a few minutes from this town.<\/p>\n

Its privileged location, 22 kms from the state capital, and 40 kms from the port of San Blas<\/strong>, makes it a must for visitors from Tepic<\/strong>. Once you pass Jalcocotan, the vast Pacific Ocean<\/strong> begins to be sighted from the mountains, down to Santa Cruz de Miramar<\/a>.<\/strong><\/p>\n
