Getting to Tarasana
Tarasana is located in Yelapa, Jalisco, Mexico—a remote village nestled between the jungle and the sea. Yelapa is only accessible by boat, which helps preserve its sacred stillness. Please read the travel instructions carefully.

  • Fly into Puerto Vallarta (PVR International Airport)

    Most visitors fly into Licenciado Gustavo Díaz Ordaz International Airport (PVR).
 
  • Travel to the Pier
    From the airport, take a taxi or Uber to one of these departure points:
 
  • Los Muertos Pier (central Puerto Vallarta)
  • Boca de Tomatlán Pier (south of the city; quieter, more scenic)
 
  • Take a Water Taxi (Panga) to Yelapa

    Water taxis run regularly from both piers—no cars come into the village. Boats typically take 30–45 minutes depending on departure point.
 
  • Arrive in Yelapa
    Once in Yelapa, you’ll walk to Tarasana through the jungle paths 
 (approx. 10–15 minutes). A local porter or guide can be arranged if needed.

Please pack light, wear walking shoes, and be prepared for natural terrain.
