Conservation Note
Operators often follow strict trail and canopy protocols to minimize vegetation damage; visitors are asked to use reef-safe repellents and avoid single-use plastics.
The Punta Mita coast was historically a string of fishing settlements and coconut plantations; hospitality and small-scale tourism expanded with the region’s modern resort development.
