While it\u2019s northern Jalisco neighbor was building resorts and state-of-the-art airports, Yelapa was dabbling with the idea of fixed electricity and perfecting its Raicilla moonshine. A sandy beach cove, bountiful sea, and mom-and-pop shops provided everything locals and travelers could need. A few celebs like Dennis Hopper and Jack Nicholson caught wind of this paradise back in the 60s and kept it their little secret&#8230;but word is getting out.

Most boats from Puerto Vallarta pull up to the beach in town, but Verana has its own pier&#8211;jutting out of the sea cliffs. A bellhop (or should we say &#8220;mountain porter&#8221;), led us to the stairs at the foot of the jungle. The owners built an ambitious half-mile-long stone staircase to the front desk. We thought this was a little crazy as we ascended into the unknown, but when we reached the view and oasis they created, it all made perfect sense.<\/p>\n<h2>Breakfast with a View<\/h2>\n<div id=\"attachment_17512\" style=\"width: 1034px\" class=\"wp-caption aligncenter\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" aria-describedby=\"caption-attachment-17512\" class=\"wp-image-17512 size-large\" src=\"https:\/\/www.travelocity.com\/inspire\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/03\/Verana-breakfast_HoneyTrek.com_-1024x640.jpg\" alt=\"Verana hotel breakfast\" width=\"1024\" height=\"640\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.travelocity.com\/inspire\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/03\/Verana-breakfast_HoneyTrek.com_-1024x640.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/www.travelocity.com\/inspire\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/03\/Verana-breakfast_HoneyTrek.com_-300x188.jpg 300w, https:\/\/www.travelocity.com\/inspire\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/03\/Verana-breakfast_HoneyTrek.com_-768x480.jpg 768w, https:\/\/www.travelocity.com\/inspire\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/03\/Verana-breakfast_HoneyTrek.com_-400x250.jpg 400w, https:\/\/www.travelocity.com\/inspire\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/03\/Verana-breakfast_HoneyTrek.com_-1080x675.jpg 1080w, https:\/\/www.travelocity.com\/inspire\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/03\/Verana-breakfast_HoneyTrek.com_.jpg 1500w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px\" \/><p id=\"caption-attachment-17512\" class=\"wp-caption-text\">Photo credit: Mike &amp; Anne Howard of HoneyTrek<\/p><\/div>\n<p>Every morning, coffee and pastries arrived to the front door of our open-air bungalow&#8230;as a little wake-up appetizer before the full-blown breakfast.

Since the 1500s, Yelapa residents have practiced their culture, without outside rule or influence from the Spanish or even Mexico, under a special status as an indigenous community. It\u2019s one of the few regions in the country where locals collectively own the land and still make development decisions as a community. Love it! We wandered the narrow, car-less streets and re-energized with a lemon meringue pie (Yelapa is famous for its homemade pies) on the beach before our hike.<\/p>\n<h2>Waterfall Hikes<\/h2>\n<div id=\"attachment_17521\" style=\"width: 1034px\" class=\"wp-caption aligncenter\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" aria-describedby=\"caption-attachment-17521\" class=\"wp-image-17521 size-large\" src=\"https:\/\/www.travelocity.com\/inspire\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/03\/Yelapa-waterfalls_HoneyTrek.com_1-1024x641.jpg\" alt=\"Waterfall hikes in Yelapa Mexico\" width=\"1024\" height=\"641\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.travelocity.com\/inspire\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/03\/Yelapa-waterfalls_HoneyTrek.com_1.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/www.travelocity.com\/inspire\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/03\/Yelapa-waterfalls_HoneyTrek.com_1-300x188.jpg 300w, https:\/\/www.travelocity.com\/inspire\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/03\/Yelapa-waterfalls_HoneyTrek.com_1-768x481.jpg 768w, https:\/\/www.travelocity.com\/inspire\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/03\/Yelapa-waterfalls_HoneyTrek.com_1-400x250.jpg 400w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px\" \/><p id=\"caption-attachment-17521\" class=\"wp-caption-text\">Photo credit: Mike &amp; Anne Howard of HoneyTrek<\/p><\/div>\n<p>There are two major waterfalls in Yelapa. An easy 20-minute hike from town, Cola de Caballo (Horsetail) Falls has a swimming hole and a caf\u00e9 for a laidback afternoon. We stopped there for a quick dip in the impressive 150-foot falls, but had our sights set on the remote Cathedral Falls. This hike is a bit trickier, involving ducking under a cattle gate, fording three rivers, and trusting our gut with the minimal signage. Though after about two miles, we reached a raging waterfall and had a heck of a jungle adventure.<\/p>\n<h2>Spa Treatments<\/h2>\n<div id=\"attachment_17520\" style=\"width: 1034px\" class=\"wp-caption aligncenter\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" aria-describedby=\"caption-attachment-17520\" class=\"wp-image-17520 size-full\" src=\"https:\/\/www.travelocity.com\/inspire\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/03\/Verana-Bath-IMG_9451.jpg\" alt=\"Verana Spa Treatment Bath\" width=\"1024\" height=\"641\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.travelocity.com\/inspire\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/03\/Verana-Bath-IMG_9451.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/www.travelocity.com\/inspire\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/03\/Verana-Bath-IMG_9451-300x188.jpg 300w, https:\/\/www.travelocity.com\/inspire\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/03\/Verana-Bath-IMG_9451-768x481.jpg 768w, https:\/\/www.travelocity.com\/inspire\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/03\/Verana-Bath-IMG_9451-400x250.jpg 400w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px\" \/><p id=\"caption-attachment-17520\" class=\"wp-caption-text\">Photo credit: Mike &amp; Anne Howard of HoneyTrek<\/p><\/div>\n<p>Hiking all day called for spa treatment.

Wildly curious but tempering expectations, we entered the open-air spa. The place was a aglow with countless candles, cascading down the walls, lining the cliffs, and surrounding a massage table, bed, and bath filled with flowers. The attendant said \u201cEnjoy the spa&#8230;it\u2019s yours until the sun comes up.\u201d We were speechless and still get tongue-tied talking about this utterly romantic experience.<\/p>\n<h2>The Magic of Yelapa<\/h2>\n<div id=\"attachment_17508\" style=\"width: 1034px\" class=\"wp-caption aligncenter\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" aria-describedby=\"caption-attachment-17508\" class=\"wp-image-17508 size-large\" src=\"https:\/\/www.travelocity.com\/inspire\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/03\/031-_MG_2832-1024x641.jpg\" alt=\"Verana Yelapa Yoga\" width=\"1024\" height=\"641\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.travelocity.com\/inspire\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/03\/031-_MG_2832-1024x641.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/www.travelocity.com\/inspire\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/03\/031-_MG_2832-300x188.jpg 300w, https:\/\/www.travelocity.com\/inspire\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/03\/031-_MG_2832-768x481.jpg 768w, https:\/\/www.travelocity.com\/inspire\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/03\/031-_MG_2832-400x250.jpg 400w, https:\/\/www.travelocity.com\/inspire\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/03\/031-_MG_2832-1080x676.jpg 1080w, https:\/\/www.travelocity.com\/inspire\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/03\/031-_MG_2832.jpg 1321w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px\" \/><p id=\"caption-attachment-17508\" class=\"wp-caption-text\">Photo credit: Mike &amp; Anne Howard of HoneyTrek<\/p><\/div>\n<p>We woke up in a state of bliss and sealed it with a morning yoga session.
