Taxi - Local private taxis, which are reasonably priced, can be arranged for at the reception desk. “Collectivos” which are public transportation (generally in 15 passenger vans) operate regularly between La Peñita, Rincon de Guayabitos, Los Ayala and Las Varas. The boarding point is at the top of the “Avenida” or main street near the highway. These collectivos run continuously in a circle between early morning and 8:00pm and cost 4.5 pesos per person.
Telephone Calls - Local calls to order a Taxi - no charge. Other calls to 274 prefix such as restaurant reservations - $5.00 pesos per call. Calls to cellular telephones and other long distance calls will be charged at $5.00 pesos per minute. International and local Lada cards are available at a number of outlets in La Peñita.
Calls within North America can now be done directly from Casita de La Penita. Ask for the Guest phone at main reception and for 10 pesos you are welcome to call anywhere in North America for 10 minutes.
Tianguis Market - Each Thursday, year round, the market sets up just 1 ½ blocks up our street. It stretches several blocks to the south, and branches down our street as well. Many local artisans display silver, sarapes, regional hand made jewelry, clothing, lingerie, leather, Huichol Indian Art and much more. You might be able to barter on silver, jewelry and art goods, but be prepared the asked price for clothing, household goods, tools etc. If they let you walk away, you are offering too little!! Should you see and item you like, and the price is right, buy it! You may not see it again during your stay!! If you are looking for something in particular, ask us. Perhaps we can help.
Time Clocks - Forget them, they do not exist!!!
Tonic Water - See Soft Drinks.
Tours - Fishing & Whale Watching - Fishing and Whale Watching tours can be arranged through reception. For more information see “Fishing” and “Whale Watching”
Tours - San Blas - A day trip to historical San Blas, the first bastion of the Spanish Armada in Mexico, is a wonderful experience. It includes a 2 - 3 hour boat trip into the jungle at La Tovara, where you will see crocodiles, turtles and wonderful bird life in their natural habitat. The price is normally $700.00 pesos per person and includes admissions, some refreshments, and some snacks. Ask for more information at reception.
Tours - Snorkeling - Snorkeling tours can be arranged with local boat operators from Guayabitos Beach. Generally, the best snorkeling is found on the lee side of the island in the bay. While the snorkeling is not considered to be “world class”, you will likely see an abundance of small colorful fish, live coral and crabs. The cost for boat transportation to the island and back is about $450.00 pesos for a small group. Think about taking cold drinks and perhaps a lunch to enjoy the calm waters and the beach on the island.
Tours General - Tours on a large scale are in their infancy in this area, however some very good day tours are available. Overnight tours can be arranged to Guadalajara and day trips are easy to facilitate to Puerto Vallarta and Tepic, the capital city of Nayarit.
Towels - The white towels in your room are not for pool or beach use. Please use your personal beach towel on the padded lounges. Towels can be exchanged at reception twice per week.
