Hola Paco,
TALPA, TALPA, TALPA!
By the way, there is a day tour to Talpa, offered by Vallarta Adventures and other tour companies in P.V. It’s a bit pricey, but includes a lunch and a tour guide. I think it also includes San Sebastian and Mascota en route. It takes about 8 hours to go and return.

Talpa Talpa indeed! I can imagine Vallarta Adventures being on the pricey side, but fear not. I’m on the case. Thanks for commenting!
