Guachinango
8.4
High score (8-10) · Your profile
Guachinango is a small mountain town in the Sierra Madre north of Puerto Vallarta — it's technically within a few hours of PV and sits in genuinely dramatic highland terrain. The economic gap is extreme and a foreigner here stands out completely. Best approached as a base for the Atenguillo-Mascota highland circuit.
Mid score (6-8)
A small Sierra Madre town with some colonial history and mountain scenery. Gets occasional visitors passing through to Mascota. Limited social infrastructure but pleasant enough for a short stop.
Lower score (below 6)
Guachinango is a remote mountain town with no meaningful social infrastructure. The road in from PV is slow and the town itself has almost nothing for a foreign visitor beyond the scenery.
