Hello everyone! My name is Cervando, I'm a tour guide here in Puerto Vallarta, Mexico. I want to,... more
Exploring the Mountains of Puerto Vallarta
San Sebastian del Oeste is one my favorite villages to visit in this region. Located up in the Sierra Madre Mountains, only 2 hours from Puerto Vallarta, we discover this quaint little village with a rich history and a long silver mining tradition. Founded by Spanish Conquistadors back in the XVII Century, San Sebastian del Oeste has been a witness of Mexican history throughout all these years.
I feel a connection with these villages, because my grandparents came from this region of Jalisco. San Sebastian del Oeste gives me the chance to connect with my past and to glimpse the beauty of simplicity of old days.
You will discover the charm of San Sebastian as you walk the quaint cobbled stone streets and look at the old adobe houses roofed with terracota tiles, and you'll smell the aroma of fresh roasted coffee mixed with the cool breeze from the pine forest.
I can customize your tour to meet your needs and interests.

A Recent Review of this tour
Read More Reviews For This TourAbsolutely the best tour guide we've ever had anywhere. Extensive knowledge of the area. Cervanto knew the best places to see and the best locations for photos. He english is exceptional, which is fantastic since our Spanish is rudimentary. Took us to a great place to eat and all kinds of other fun stops. Cannot recommend him enough.
