Personally we think it is still to cold until you get south of Mazatlan. If we were beach people (we prefer inland mountains) we would go to the area north of Puerto Vallarta - south of Tepic - sort of. I won't name any specific destination as I am no authority. We have been to Mazatlan and it is a big city with tall buildings - not our thing at all. We have also been to San Carlos and though we do sometimes use it as a stopover we found it to be a good introduction to Mexico but once we moved on things opened up to finding lots of more interesting stuff. We have also done the Yucatan and the Gulf Coast. A long time ago we lived in the Caribbean at 18 degrees north - we thought that was perfect weather. San Carlos is at 27 degrees - Mazatlan at 23 degrees - Puerto Vallarta at 20 degrees - Cancun at 21 degrees - that is latitude - not Celsius - so if it is perfect weather you want? Go south young man. For us - we RV to be mobile and not stay in any one place very long - new experiences - new things to see and do. So we tend to roam all over Mexico. We love the ancient ruins and the historical architecture of the colonial cities. This past winter we finally got to Oaxaca. We are all different so everyone will have some other idea about where to go and what to do. Asking questions here and doing research might take you to your own special paradise. We now have many paradises.
Thanks!!
I suspect that you are referring to Sayulita (North of PV). We have been there and enjoyed it. I don't recall prices or RV facilities. On that trip we flew to PV.
I do also love the varied food, architecture,history and people. We had a ball on the Yukatan. Tulum & Ambergris Key (Belize) being my favorites.
No need to sell me on the joy of traveling Mexico and Central America. What is fairly new to me is visiting by RV.
I had been focused on Maz and parts North. I will give Sayulita a closer look.
Thanks
Steve
