It\u2019s not an unusual sight to see an occasional croc in Marina Vallarta, in fact they have their resident crocodile there at the Marina and north of town near the airport you will find their natural habitat, the estuary, the Estero El Salado it\u2019s called. It\u2019s the green, heavily wooded area you fly over when you make the final approach to the landing strip in Vallarta. But it\u2019s very rare to see one down in town along the Rio Cuale. They\u2019ve been pushed out by all the development at Vidante, across the Ameca River where they have nested for many, many decades. In fact AMLO, the president of Mexico just declared parts of the Rio Ameca and Puerto Vallarta, Nayarit included to be all part of an protected as a Biosphere Reserve. These are Sierra de Vallejo-Rio Ameca in Nayarit and Jalisco, in Puerto Vallarta.<\/p>\n<p>According to an article in Mexico Business News,<\/p>\n<p>\u201cThe Ministry of Environment and Natural Resources (SEMARNAT) recently designated 20 new sites as Natural Protected Areas (ANP).

Scroll down to the bottom of a page and look for the search box. Type in your search, like best margaritas, or La Huerta Barbecue, and the podcast episode blogposts where I talk about them pop up. It\u2019s a pretty robust tool.<\/p>\n<p>I recently received an email from Donnalee regarding replacing a lost US passport, and she promised she will be reporting back to us about that particular process of getting a passport replaced and all the hoops you had to jump through and all the lines you had to endure.
