Day 1: Ahuacatlán — Nature and Wellness
Our journey starts in Tepic, heading toward Ahuacatlán, where the day begins with a traditional breakfast at El Gran Tonán, the perfect introduction to local flavors. Afterward, we head to the Ahuacatlán Lookout, an ideal spot for hiking with panoramic views of the mountains and valleys that define the region’s geography.
The route continues to the community of Santa Isabel, where you’ll participate in a traditional sugarcane experience: the extraction and tasting of fresh-pressed cane juice. Next, in Valle Verde, we visit the Espirulina Valle Azul project—the first Mexican company to produce raw spirulina. Here, you’ll discover the potential of this superfood through an integrated experience that includes workshops on crafting natural sunscreen, spirulina-based mixology, artisanal mazapán, and a relaxing spa session.
The day proceeds with a traditional lunch in Acatique, prepared with fresh, locally sourced ingredients. To close the journey, there is time to unwind in the natural spring pools (piletas), a perfect moment to enjoy the tranquility of the surroundings before heading back.
