Hiking through the jungle on the way to Playa des Muertes, Sayulita. It is called Beach of the dead because it is next to a large graveyard, see picture on the right. The graveyards here are like mini-towns with steeples and spires and little houses and mausoleums, brighly painted and decorated with statues, balloons, flowers, candles etc. This cemetary is right in the jungle, up the hill from the ocean at the south end of town.

  1. Wendy, in the church in San Sebastian del Oeste, do they cover the altar when the church is not in service or was it being refurbished? I noticed on Google Earth a couple of pictures of an exquisite altar in the church, but it was covered in your image.

    The community looks very compact, probably due to the hilly countryside.

    Looks like you guys are having fun and enjoying the country. Best wishes, and return refreshed.

    Blessings.
