Burrowed deep in the heart of the Sierra Madre Mountains, San Sebastian del Oeste's remote setting has made it one of Mexico's last remaining secrets. While this tiny mountain enclave (elevation 1,372 m) isn't far from Puerto Vallarta, it's still a world away from the usual tourist haunts.

About your product

Cultural excursions
It is a joy to wander around in the very peaceful town of San Sebastian, which has changed so little in hundreds of years. You will find it nestled in the heart of the Sierra Madre Mountains. With a quaint cobblestone plaza lined by dignified white buildings, a classic Porfirian bandstand, an 18th century church dedicated to San Sebastián, and the 150 year old Hacienda Jalisco, San Sebastián is a living museum, untouched by time.

This is an experience that is difficult to surpass.The road from Puerto Vallarta comes in on the west side of this historic mining town. Originally settled in 1605, San Sebastián reached its peak of prosperity in the 1700s, when over 30,000 people populated the area. Over the years, the town's population fluctuated wildly as gold and silver were mined intermittently between the 1600's and the 1930's.
