Yelapa, Coastal village in Cabo Corrientes, Mexico.
Located in the southernmost cove of Bahía de Banderas, Yelapa extends along the Pacific coast with mountains rising behind its sandy beaches.
The area holds traces of Nahoa tribes who inhabited the region before 1525, when Spanish forces led by Francisco Cortés encountered local indigenous warriors.
The village celebrates traditional festivals throughout the year, including a significant celebration dedicated to the Virgen de Guadalupe on December 12.
Access to Yelapa requires a water taxi from Puerto Vallarta, as no roads connect this coastal settlement to neighboring communities.
Two rivers converge at the sea in Yelapa, which inspired its name in the indigenous language of the original inhabitants.
