Introduction

Playa de los Muertos ('Beach of the Dead') takes its name from pre-Hispanic burials found in the area; today it is a quiet beach in the Puerto Vallarta–Yelapa zone. Palms line the shore and the water is clear, away from the city bustle; it is reached by boat, with the Yelapa waterfall nearby for a hike.
