An Overview of Locations in Yelapa
Select an area to read a brief description.
- BRIDGE
The Bridge
If the water level at the mouth of the river is high and you don't feel like wading, you can walk upriver to the bridge and then back downriver (about 15 minutes each way).
- UPPER VILLAGE
Upriver - Pueblo Side
All wedding-related gatherings will be held in this area, on the south (pueblo) side of the river, not far from the beach.
(more information) - WADE OR WALK?
Wade or walk?
The fastest "shortcut" between the beach and village involves crossing the mouth of the river. February is well into the dry season, but there are no guarantees on the water level. If it's too wet there, try the bridge.
- THE VILLAGE
The Village (Pueblo)
The village offers smaller rentals with extremely convenient access to restaurants and other amenities.
(more information about the village) - THE POINT
The Point
The Point, located about 10 minutes past the village center, is very private, with lovely views of the cove.

- UPRIVER
Upriver - North / Playa Side
Nestled in the jungle upriver you will find extremely private palapas, with excellent wildlife viewing. The walk to the center of the village from upriver may take 20-30 minutes depending on your route (bridge or beach shortcut) and exactly where you are.
