Nayarit is one of Mexico’s 31 states, located along the Pacific coast and among the country’s smaller regions. Its shoreline features not only beautiful beaches popular with surfers, but also vast mangroves that are home to hundreds of bird species.
Beneath the surface lies another world, one that drew Lucia from Slovakia here. Originally from Banská Štiavnica, she has dedicated her life to protecting sharks and now works with marine biologists to educate the next generation.
We begin in the town of San Blas with a spicy breakfast, then switch things up by baking sweet banana bread. We discover the many ways tortillas are enjoyed, best with fresh guacamole, and head out to sea to explore the mangroves.
