Air Canada has expanded service into Tepic International Airport, giving Canadians another convenient option when traveling to Riviera Nayarit. For those heading north of Puerto Vallarta, this can mean easier access and shorter drive times.
It’s a reminder that this region continues to grow in visibility and accessibility.
Beyond the beaches, Nayarit also offers cultural depth. About an hour inland sits Compostela, a designated Pueblo Mágico known for colonial charm, mountain views, and coffee grown in the surrounding hills.
Ocean in the morning, mountains in the afternoon; this contrast is part of what makes Nayarit so unique.
If you’re curious about different areas of the region, I’m always happy to help you explore your options.
Who is Mitch Vaughan?
I’m a Puerto Vallarta–based real estate agent helping people escape cold winters and find their perfect 2nd or 3rd home in the Bay of Banderas. When I’m not matching clients with great properties, you’ll find me golfing, hiking, or exploring the incredible nature that surrounds our coastline. Even after years here, it still hasn’t worn off: living in this paradise feels just as amazing as the day I arrived.
