Local Tourism Story Maps
Sayulita, Mexico
This local tourism story map for Sayulita, Mexico, shows the trails between town and outlying beaches of this charming beach town near Puerto Vallarta. Known for sunny skies, warm temperatures and abundant hiking opportunities, Sayulita was also the perfect candidate for custom local tourism maps. The trails are full of adventure and offer the opportunity to see birds and other wildlife as they cut through the jungle.
With cooperation from Sayulitalife.com, a local tourism site, we created local tourism story maps of jungle trails and routes to beaches to accompany the written descriptions on its web page. Now, the beauty of the area’s seaside, day hikes and jungle walks comes alive with photos, navigation aids and captions, which can be printed or accessed by mobile device – some even without internet or cell connectivity.
