Yalapa
















Along the Pacific coast south of PV are dozens of coves formed by mountains meeting the sea. Large sandy flats are formed in each cove where the rushing downhill rivers smash into the daily tides. The coves are accessible only by bone-jarring wave-slamming small pangas.
One of these coves is Yalapa, with the usual basic dock, palapa restaurant, and primitive jungle scenery. The big attraction here is a 150-foot waterfall, reached by a steady uphill climb. The paths are too narrow and steep for vehicles, so burros are used to transport everything from cement bags to cases of cerveza. If you'd like to stay a while, see Aldo!
