Banderas Bay Neighborhoods: San Pancho

San Francisco, Nayarit, or San Pancho as it is more commonly called, is located about 25 miles north of the Puerto Vallarta International Airport, which allows for easy access to popular tourism attractions in Puerto Vallarta and Nuevo Vallarta, but offers  the peace and tranquility that only a small town provides.

Originally a fishing village, San Pancho has retained all of its charm and beauty with a spectacular location nestled between the blue waters of Banderas Bay and the lush, green jungle of the Sierra Madre Mountains.

And there are activities for almost everyone in San Pancho including sailing, surfing, scuba diving, snorkelling, hiking and horseback riding.  In fact, horses play a huge part in the upscale San Pancho social scene as the La Patrona Polo Club is the place to be seen on Saturday nights for polo matches, fine dining, Spanish dressage, live music and various other entertainments.

Real estate options in the San Pancho region include lots, apartments, beach bungalows and some of the most stunning and exclusive villas in the Banderas Bay region.
