Customs & Traditions and Countryside
Combo with the best of both tours

The excursion starts with an introduction to the history of the region, as you drive along the pacific coast to the picturesque village of Petatlan. On the way, you will stop at a local bakery and if the owner is working, which is not always guaranteed, you may observe the old fashioned way of preparing fresh coconut bread. The tour of Petatlan includes the market with the different Mexican spices and chiles, cactus and herbal medicines and the opportunity to buy gold at very reasonable prices. Because the people of the state of Guerrero link many miracles to the "Cristo de Petatlan", the visit to this church will be one of the highlights of the tour.

On your way back north, stop at the original fishing village of "Barra de Potosi", where you may swim, explore and take magnificent pictures of the lagoon, the wildlife and bird sanctuary. You may have linger and enjoy fresh lobster or other seafood at exceptional prices. At a small extra charge, an optional boat trip through the lagoon can be taken to enhance the unique experience.

Drive back to your hotel in the early afternoon.
