SHOT 2/2/16 9:58:01 AM - Tourists wander the streets of Sayulita, Mexico under a canopy of papel picado. Sayulita is a village about 25 miles north of downtown Puerto Vallarta in the state of Nayarit, Mexico. Known for its consistent river mouth surf break, Sayulita was "discovered" by roving surfers in the late 1960s with the construction of Mexican Highway 200. Today, Sayulita is a prosperous growing village of approximately 5,000 residents. Hailed as a popular off-the-beaten-path travel destination, Sayulita offers a variety of activities such as horseback riding, hiking, jungle canopy tours, snorkeling and fishing. Still a mecca for beginner surfers of all ages, the quaint town attracts upscale tourists with its numerous art galleries and restaurants as well. Papel picado ("perforated paper, literally peckered paper") is a decorative craft made out of paper cut into elaborate designs. It is considered a Mexican folk art. (Photo by Marc Piscotty / © 2016)
