Your Value in Jala, Nayarit: Income, Age & Height Compared

High score (8-10) · Your profile

Jala is famous among botanists and corn enthusiasts for its Maíz Criollo de Jala — an heirloom corn variety that grows ears up to 60 centimeters long and is documented as one of the world's oldest continuously cultivated plants. That distinction alone doesn't generate tourism infrastructure, and the town is a small sierra community with a colonial church and not much else for a foreign visitor. Social life is locally embedded and the foreign presence is essentially zero. Worth a stop on a drive to Compostela but not a base.
