During our trip to Puerto Vallarta, we took the opportunity to explore the countryside of the Sierra Madres. And it was truly stunning.
Much of the area outside of the city is dedicated to farming, and most of the farming is organic. It was so refreshing to see people buying imperfect fruit and vegetables. The standards of the appearance of produce in the United States is ridiculous.
We also stopped to have fresh churros and tortillas, and even stopped by a cactus farm and had homemade tortillas, beans, pico, guacamole, and cactus salsa.
It was perfect. On our way back to the city we stopped in a small surfing village called Sayulita where we found all the Ex-Pats hanging out and having a good time. It was really nice to get away from the overtly touristy parts of Puerto Vallarta, that is not to say that the places we visited did not thrive on tourism as well, they just seemed to handle it more casually.
