Tepic, Capital city at 915 meters elevation in Nayarit, Mexico.
Tepic extends across valleys near the Sierra Madre Oriental mountain range, with the Molóloa and Tepic rivers flowing through its territory.
The settlement was established in 1531 under the name Villa del Espíritu Santo de la Mayor España through the efforts of Spanish conquistador Nuño de Guzmán.
The municipal markets display the presence of Huichol and Cora communities, who sell traditional handicrafts and wear their regional clothing.

The University of Nayarit, established in 1969, originated from the Nayarit Institute of Science and Letters founded in 1930.
