Majahuas Jalisco
(5 votes, average: 5.00 out of 5)
Loading ...Majahuas is one of those hidden gems, located in the Mexican state of Jalisco, is an unknown place even for people from Guadalajara, the second biggest city in México, the reason is simple, it is a 6-7 hours drive, then a 6 kilometers dirt road and then you’d have to cross a lagoon filled with Crocodiles. Sounds like a proper hassle but is totally worth it. The place is surrounded by the lagoon on one side and the Pacific ocean on the other. The beach is known for the big arrivals of turtles every summer to lay their eggs in this stretch of sand. The local community runs a Turtle camp there, if you are adventurous enough to get there, you can do some real conservation by helping at the camp. You can go patrolling looking for turtles or nests and bring the eggs to a safe place back at the camp.

- Orchids galore June 11, 2011I had the chance to visit a hidden place in the middle of the jungle near the pacific coast of México, I am not allowed to say where this place is, but i'll say that is probably the most beautiful house i've ever been. The owner has a passion for orchids and you can see them all over his property, wild orchids everywhere on the woods. I'd neve […]
- Time Lapse – Lunar Eclipse December 24, 2010My first Time Lapse with an intervalometer (cheers Adam) the new toy arrived a couple of days before this and the opportunity came right away with an amazing Lunar Eclipse, it was a rather difficult situation, every now and then I had to adjust the exposition in order to obtain the best details of the moon, I didn't achieve it in all the shots but i thi […]

hi i just recently came back from Majahuas. It’s so pretty there and i helped the volunteers dig up the baby sea turtles and help them into the ocean. they’re so cute.
que página tan relajante!! Están increibles Claus!!! Perdón que dejé pasar tanto en verla a detalle, pero más vale tarde que nunca no? Trataré de visitar el sitio más seguido, ahora se que en mis días catastróficos (como hoy) esto me relaja un montón jejeje. Besos !!!
Me gustó mucho la foto y los comentarios que haces sobre Majahuas. Soy el presidente de la cooperativa de pescadores que operamos el campamento tortuguero llamado oficialmente Estación Biológica Majahuas. Me parece que tu trabajo puede favorecer mucho el interés por colaborar con la conservación del lugar y de la biodiversidad, los cuales son por supuesto un patrimonio de todos. Enhorabuena y una invitación a más visitas a ésta tu casa.
