San Pancho Top Secret Tourist Location on Mexican Riviera Nayarit
San Pancho, A City Where Nature and Culture Entwine
San Francisco, also lovingly nicknamed as San Pancho, is a pleasant, non-commercialized town in Riviera Nayarit. This warm town is a one-hour drive from Puerto Vallarta airport and is situated close to the mountainous Sierra Madre Occidental. San Francisco has beautiful, clear beaches and is covered with lush jungles swarming with jaguar, reptiles, bird species, and some exotic animals.
Brief history
Aboriginal tribes were considered to be the first people of San Francisco. The Spanish soon arrived in Mexico, and in 1524, the Spanish nicknamed the town San Francisco de Azapan. People began moving to San Francisco until its inhabitants grew. Until now, it kept its quaintness and appeal as a small, rural town.
The residents worked as fishermen and crop growers, following a rather traditional local lifestyle. Obviously, San Franciso lacked the grandiose of urban living, evidence to that is the residents’ humble palapa homes, which neither had electricity or water.
However in 1970’s, President Luis Echeverria have learned of San Francisco. In reality, he built his vacation home in the town, plus a hospital and a few schools. With this, he planned to make San Francisco as a independed town and a Third World community model. His proposals, however, ended as his term ended. But the town continued to take advantage from his efforts. And it gradually became the town of what it is at present.
The culture hub
San Francisco is touted as the cultural capital in Nayarit. This doesn’t happen as a shock, since San Francisco has kept most, if not all, of the Mexican customs. Besides cowboys riding through the boulevards and history-wealthy pueblos that beautify the town, various art museums, displays, eateries, and tourist centers resonate with Mexican culture and traditions. The modernity of the times appears to skip San Francisco, as it goes on with its culture and history whole.
Art appreciation events are also celebrated in the town on a regular basis, for one to give nobility to artists and for another to sustain the artistic awareness of the population. Art expositions and displays, for instance, are put in various galleries in San Francisco. The town also observes a yearly music festival.
The presence of the Huichol Indians in San Francisco also adds to the town be more attractive. Their custom, community, skill, and art crafts and handmade crafts give a different appeal to the innate splendor of San Francisco.
San Francisco enjoys an interesting combination of cultures. The culture of the residents and the cultures of the outsiders housing permanently in the town make San Francisco a very culturally diverse area.
The nature to behold
To the extent that it is culturally engaging, San Francisco is a stunning gift of nature. The wonderful beaches that are a favorite among surfers, the varied kinds of animals, and the mountains and forest to see are the treasures that residents, expats, and travelers beloved to their hearts.
Though it doesn’t adopt the modernity of the times as much as other Mexican places have, San Francisco keeps as a magnificent place to stay in. Its peace is unmatched, and its charm is like no other.
