No cars in Yelapa. The streets are really narrow and no cars can reach the village. So it’s quite quiet. You move on foot around. Internet is not the fastest so forget to watch Netflix, anyways would be a waste of time. Yelapa is a bit hippy place with a very relaxed atmosphere.
Wildlife is really great in Yelapa and you will see parrots flying, coatis running around, whales, manta rays, and really a lot of marine life. Be careful with the scorpions. Don’t put your hands where you don’t see and don’t walk barefoot in the forest or close to it. In any case, there is a basic hospital in Yelapa.
Feb - April, you will see whales and manta rays during the tow.
Beach has no strong or big waves so it’s cool for swimming and is great for a family trip.
