Overview

Discover the Emerald of the Sierra — Where History, Nature, and Mexican Traditions Come Alive!

Leave behind the tropical coastline of Puerto Vallarta and journey into the breathtaking Sierra Madre Occidental to discover Mascota, Jalisco, one of Mexico's most enchanting Pueblos Mágicos.

Surrounded by lush mountains, pine and oak forests, peaceful valleys, and picturesque historic streets, Mascota offers a remarkable combination of natural beauty, colonial heritage, traditional cuisine, and authentic Mexican hospitality.

With Obi Tours & Transports, this is much more than a sightseeing excursion. It's an exclusive, privately guided cultural experience designed around your interests, comfort, and preferred pace.

Travel in a comfortable, air-conditioned vehicle with your own professional, SECTUR-certified bilingual tour guide.
