Sayulita Central Pacific Coast, Mexico Travel Guide
Start planning well in advance for a relaxed trip.
Plan your journey step-by-step for a smooth experience.
Make certain your passport holds validity for at least six months beyond your planned travel dates. Renew if needed.
If applicable for your nationality, research and apply for any needed visas for Mexico. Allow plenty of time for processing.
Book flights early (3-6 months out) for better prices and availability, especially if traveling during high season (November-April) or holidays.
Reserve popular tours like Marietas Islands or whale watching, especially if specific dates are needed.
Book your transport from Puerto Vallarta airport to Sayulita.
Notify your bank/credit card companies of your travel dates to avoid card holds due to suspicious activity.
Double-check flights, accommodation, and tour bookings.
Organize your passport, visa, insurance, and copies. For organization, consider Eagle Creek packing solutions.
Acquire some Mexican Pesos or plan ATM withdrawals upon arrival. Charge all electronics; pack adapters, portable chargers, and power banks.
Planning aids smooth travel.
A bit of research makes a difference.
Don't forget things at home.
Research and purchase travel insurance from providers like World Nomads. Be certain it covers medical emergencies, trip cancellation, and any planned activities like surfing.
Plan your departure to avoid last-minute stress.
Check your flight status the day before departure.
Make certain your FMM card is present for collection at immigration upon departure. Losing it can bring fines and delays.
