Lo de Marcos, a small town of some 2,500 people, is easily accessible by National Highway 200 from the north (San Blas: 1½ hrs) or from the south (Puerto Vallarta: 1 hr)
and by National Highway 15 from the east (Guadalajara: 4 hrs).
Lo de Marcos is surrounded by hills covered with lush semi-tropical vegetation, has beautiful beaches and enjoys summer-time weather year around.
And, unlike the neighboring tourist towns, Lo de Marcos has maintained its small-town charm and unhurried life style.

The casual tourist or would-be resident finds a tranquil atmosphere, friendly people and a welcoming attitude where
discos, fast-food joints and malls have not yet intruded. [ continue ]
