If culture tickles your fancy - then Punta de Mita is home to the last remaining pre-Columbian culture found in this hemisphere. Evidence of civilization in Punta de Mita & surrounding areas dates back to at least 2000 BC, where there were about 6 different cultural tribes residing in & around the area. Over time the population of these tribes has shrunk, but one of the original tribes, the Huichol (Wee-chol), are still living/practicing their traditional ways. These indigenous people are a living tribute to Punta de Mita’s history. They still live their pure pre-Columbian culture in the Sierra Madre Mountains, west of Punta de Mita. There, the tribe of mystics dedicate themselves to a balanced co-existence with nature. If you need your golf fix, Punta de Mita is home to several famously designed golf courses, & although they are private clubs, you can easily access them with day passes.
