Many consider Burros to be the best surfing wave in the area around Puerto Vallarta, and not without reason. It’s a right that breaks over a rocky reef that does not pose a threat when the tide is high, and perhaps only a minor one when the tide is low because even though the rocks are about 2-3 feet below the surface they are not sharp and are usually covered in algae (sometimes more than others). The wave is suitable for beginners when it’s small but good or superb for intermediate and advanced surfers when not. Getting here by car is relatively easy. If coming from Puerto Vallarta leave the main road (Carretera de Tepic) at the Punta de Mita exit and continue along this secondary road for about another 15 minutes. You will cross a town called La Cruz de Huanacaxtle, one of the best beaches in the area ( Playa Destiladeras) and a few top end resorts including Los Veneros (which also has a break). Continue along this road until you reach Palladium Resort on your left which is where you will turn (left). About 15 meters into this road you will see an unpaved road the slopes down the left in front of the curve. Some surfers ride the car all the way to the beach along this path, but I don’t recommend it unless you have a 4×4. If you decide not to choose the above mentioned option drive down the slightly windy road until you see the entrance to the resort and look for a place to leave the car (the small unpaved road on the left 10 meters before the gate is a good place) as you will not be allowed to park your car inside or walk down to the beach through the property. It gets less comfortable from here. Follow the unpaved path all the way to the end and then continue along the small trail that leads to the beach across the jungle-like forrest, either jumping over the fence or following the trail parallel to it all the way to the beach. You would expect to find the break for yourself, but don’t worry because you wont. It is too famous and too easy to get to from the resort right in front.
