LOCATION

SEND INQUIRY

Chacala is located exactly 58 miles north of the Puerto Vallarta International Airport, just far enough away to escape the tourist trappings of PV. We offer direct, private shuttle service to and from the airport.

The town of Chacala is a friendly, laid back community set on a tropical mountainside. Known for great seafood and family-friendly vibes, the many beachfront restaurants have world-class ocean views. At the southern end of the half-mile beach lies the base of a volcano, an easy 45 minute hike for incredible 360 degree views. To the North lies Chacala fishing pier and the private development known as Marina Chacala. It is inside the gates of Marina Chacala that the Hacienda was built, on the very site that the original Spanish settlement once existed.

Chacala, which means, “the place of the shrimp”, was originally home to indigenous Indians millennia before the Spanish conquest. The nearby Altavista petroglyphs, are believed to date from as far back as 2300 BCE. Located between Puerto Vallarta and San Blas, Puerto Chacala was one of three historically significant ports of Spain. However, when the town’s volcano erupted in approximately 1672, the Spanish settlement and mission were destroyed.
