Zones in Sierra Madre
San Sebastian del Oeste
San Sebastian del Oeste, Jalisco, doesn't have a lot to offer in the way of real estate, although it is a charming town to visit. San Sebastian is an anachronistic mining town in the Sierra Madre, between Puerto Vallarta and Mascota, that at one time was one of the larger communities in the state of Jalisco.
Mascota
The name Mascota comes from the Teco Amaxacotlán Mazacotla, which means: place of deers and snakes. The picturesque traditional town of Mascota is hidden away in the Sierra Madre Mountains less than two hours by car from Vallarta. The dry mountain air and abundance of activities such as hiking, mountain biking and fishing, make this an outdoor enthusiast's paradise. The town itself is filled with many museums, historical attractions, traditional shops, restaurants and hotels.
Talpa
Talpa is your typical Mexican village that situated high in the mountains of the Sierra Madre. Recently there has been some real estate development in the region, offering small homes for sale and lots for building, but it is minimal. If you like to be away from it all, entrench yourself in 'real' Mexico and have a place to get away from the heat of summer, Talpa is the place!
