It has come to our attention that we should probably indicate where Chacala Mexico actually is located. Unfortunately when you try to keep a small town a secret you probably should not be blogging about it, but we love this town and its people so much how does one not share in the experience? Chacala is located about 60 miles north of the Puerto Vallarta airport. It has about 300-400 full time residents. Christmas week and Easter weeks it turns from a remote beach/fishing town into a hustle and bustle town with up to 60 bus loads of Mexican tourist daily. These families arrive for a day of eating and drinking in a palapa restaurant with their toes in the sand while the younger members of the family frolic in the warm waters of the Pacific Ocean. It is not uncommon during these holidays to see a floating banana filled with screaming vacationers flying by pulled by a Panga (Mexican fishing boat), or a group of men wearing nothing but a speedo or in most cases their tighty whiteys(seriously) playing an intense game of beach soccer. Other then these holidays Chacala is very tranquil. A normal day at the beach consist of a few people from north of the border soaking up the hot sun or enjoying one of Las Brisas ice cold blended lemonades. At sunset the full time residents find their way down to enjoy the most breathtaking sunsets and spending time with their neighbors. Hopefully this gives you a small glimpse into this location and from here you will need to find it for yourself. It shouldn't be too hard though just ask for the family with 3 gringo kids at a local school.
