….THE BEST HIKE

Basically, you take a bus to the end of the line and end up in Boca de Tomatlan, from there you do a gorgeous hike and pass tiny secret beaches. You end up in Animas which is a huge meh, so I highly recommend taking your time and stopping a lot. Check out this post that highlights how to get to Boca, and details the difficulty of the trail.

On the hike…

The first secret beach, I swear the sand was made of gold

Passing by closed down resort

As we approached Animas the group was hungry and in need of alcohol. We turned a corner and stumbled upon Casitas Maraika. A little haven with very few visitors and a private beach, it was an enchanting resort.


We took over this place, spending a lot of time lounging in their hammocks, plush couches, and private beach. It was incredible and we all left fantasizing about having our honeymoons here.

No joke – This is the BEST margarita I have ever had.

The happiest dogs around

Made it to Animas, very lackluster after the incredible day

Hint: You can jump off this pier, it is so much fun

Highly recommend taking a water taxi back right as the sun is setting, simply stunning.
