Toegang
The Ameca River mouth is located west of the city center of Puerto Vallarta, at the point where the river empties into the Bahía de Banderas. You can start your walk at the edge of the town near the golf course (1) or a bit further along the beach at Boca de Tomates (2). Press a P on the map for directions to a parking spot. The walking route indicated on the map is starting from the golf course and is about 2,5 km one way. Note that after heavy rainfall with large water discharge through the river, parts of the river mouth may be inaccessible.
