WELCOME TO CUYUTLAN
Cuyutlan is a small, quaint, beachside town with cobble stoned, tree-lined streets. Its wide beach is famous for its giant "Green Wave" during the months of April and May, which reportedly can reach a height of between 8 and 15 meters. The spectacular luminescent green color of the water is said to be produced by the phosphorescence of marine plankton or algae and is a magical sight to watch at night. Cuyutlan is a beautiful place where you can eat good seafood, visit a sea turtle conservation camp, take a boat trip on a lagoon to watch birds, go swimming in the pools or the sea, walk in the little town and visit the Museo de la Sal - Salt Museum, which displays the processing involved in the extraction of sea salt and its history. Nearby in the rail yards there are many richly weathered wooden storage sheds that were used for warehousing the salt before shipping. During the Spanish colonialization of Mexico, Cuyutlan was one of the major salt suppliers for the silver mines of Guanajuato and the area is still an important sea-salt producer today.

Day trip to Cuyutlan $80 USD c
