                                                                                                                                                          La Laguna, an unspoiled crater lake about 2km in diameter, 60m deep and at an altitude of 758m, is surrounded by steep forested mountains that rise 300m above the lake. Winter weather is normally sunny and dry, with temperatures more moderate than the coast. This area is off the beaten path and abounds with wildflowers, birds and butterflies. There is easy walking around the lake and more challenging hiking in the surrounding mountains. Excursions can be made from the lake to visit spectacular waterfalls, ancient ruins and Huichol villages where original yarn paintings may be purchased. An experienced tourguide is available to take you to places of interest in Nayarit and nearby states. Koala's open - air restaurant and bar offers both national and international cuisine plus a variety of nourishing snacks, fruit juices, smoothies and coffee.
