General Directions:

There is a large river bridge north of Puerto. Vallarta (the border between Nayarit and Sinaloa); go south over this bridge, and take the first exit on the right (west) – it’s about 1 km from the bridge, and signed to a small hotel (forget the name.) This is a fairly wide dusty road that goes 4.2 kms to the beach at the mouth of the river. Tthe first part runs next to a series of wet marshy fields on the left that may be good for Ruddy-breasted Seedeater. In the last km it turns right/left, and runs next to mangroves. There are a handful of small bars (the booze kind) at the end of the road at the beach. You can walk out along the beach to the river mouth and look upstream to some miniature islands that birds seem to like to congregate and chill on (saw our only Black Skimmer there.)
