Riviera Nayarit, one of Mexico’s most sophisticated tourist destinations, dazzles not only with its beaches and landscapes but also with its offering of elite sports. Among the most prominent are golf and polo, two disciplines that combine precision, passion, and elegance, and which find an ideal setting in this Pacific region to be enjoyed to the fullest.

POLO: THE SPORT OF KINGS IN SAN PANCHO

In the heart of San Francisco, Nayarit — better known as San Pancho — lies La Patrona Polo & Equestrian Club, a unique venue to experience the excitement of polo in an exclusive environment connected with nature. Here, beginners and experts can take personalized lessons or simply enjoy the equestrian spectacle surrounded by the Sierra mountains and perfectly manicured fields.

The experience is complemented by access to Tierra Tropical Beach Club, a beach club with first-class facilities including a swimming pool, gourmet restaurant, and spectacular views.
