The Mexican state of Nayarit is welcoming outdoor sports enthusiasts. The destination hosts major events across its varied zones, including golf, half marathons, skydiving and paragliding.

The state’s tourism officials have teamed up with Mexico’s national Ministry of Tourism to launch “Nayarit Viene con Todo” — translated as “Nayarit Brings it All” — as a series of competitive and exhibition events highlighting the diversity, beauty and infrastructure of the state, while attracting national and international tourism to the benefit of Nayarit’s residents.

“Sports tourism has the potential to bring spectator sporting events to our state, but it also allows us to develop educational opportunities for our visitors to learn and practice fishing, surfing, paddle boarding, kiteboarding and other adventure sports,” said Nayarit’s Minister of Tourism, Juan Enrique Suárez del Real Tostado. “We also seek to rescue the heritage of the municipalities through craft workshops that promote the legacy of our handicrafts, as well as our gastronomy.

“In this way, those who come to Nayarit will find a complete experience and will bring benefits to the communities with defined projects,” Suárez del Real Tostado added. “For us, diversification means bringing the opportunity for economic and social development to local communities, and it means showing the natural beauties of Nayarit.”

Coming up in July, the state will welcome Surf Nayarit, an international surfing event taking place on the area's spectacular beaches and very sought-after surf breaks. The event will attract the best international athletes in this popular sport and will be broadcast on different platforms, including Disney+, the ESPN channel and Caliente TV.
