Directions & Map to Cerrito Encantado
Cerrito Encantado sits just below the main road in Altavista, Nayarit, a small town where life moves without a clock. Getting here is easy once you know the two things that surprise first-time guests: where to park, and the short walk down to the property. Here is the whole trip, in order.
Getting to Altavista
Altavista is reachable from three major cities. Pick your starting point for turn-by-turn directions:
Puerto Vallarta
The closest international airport. Note that Puerto Vallarta runs on Central time, one hour ahead of Altavista.
Guadalajara
A scenic drive from Jalisco's capital. Guadalajara runs on Central time, one hour ahead of Altavista.
Tepic
Nayarit's capital city, and the easiest for time planning. Tepic is on the same time as Altavista.

Where to Park in Altavista
- As you enter Altavista, look for the pink hair salon on your left.
- Make a u-turn at the salon, where the road is wide enough, then park on either side of the street.
- Do not park on the paved road. Cars parked there get towed.
- Do not block the street or any driveways.
If you shared your arrival time with us, someone will meet you at your car to help with your belongings and walk you down to the property.
The Walk Down to the Property
The property sits below the road, which is exactly what makes it feel like its own little world. From where you park, it is a short walk down, about 90 seconds to 2 minutes on a steep, rocky path.
- 4x4 or AWD with high clearance: you can drive all the way down to the property.
- Any other vehicle: park up top on the main road and walk down.
- Luggage: message us your arrival time and someone will be waiting to help carry your things down and show you the way.
One honest note: the path is steep and uneven, so the property is not a good fit for guests with mobility issues.
