![]() Here's some random bananas pics in Sayulita, Nayarit, MX, just north of Puerto Vallarta. Lot's of Gringos, and red forest crabs that the Mexicans also call gringos, LOL. Some sea turtles too.
Dwarf Cavendish next to road. Same clump. Here's a view from the place I stayed called El Nido Here's one of many plantations along the highway nearby, big agricurtural area. Lot's of fruit, mangos, papaya, coconuts, breadfruit, pineapples, and of course bananas. Zebra banana next tothe place I stayed, I think that building was called Chachalacas. Another next door planting of a reddish banana that was really common in the area, but didn't seem to be in fruit very often. Plantain in the courtyard of a restaraunt. Here's a 2.5 foot tall banana in bloom. Maybe it just got neglected? Or a dwarf? Here's a drive by pic of what the local jungle looks like. The movie preditor was filmed nearby. And for the conclusion, here's the poo plant with very healthy bananas, and bamboo. Last edited by Tropicallvr : 10-13-2007 at 05:29 PM. |

![]() Are you talking about the dark green huge spiny looking ones? I thought that they were just large breadfruit, but you maybe right. In the fields behind these stands are acres of breadfruit, and Mangos, with native voluntier Sabal palms popping up every where(they use them for the palapa roofs at the nearby restaurants).

![]() Hey cool pics.
I've spent plenty of time in Sayulita over the years. Very nice little town. It has gotten alot more popular with the tourist crowd lately though. |

![]() Nice pictures, thanks for sharing!
We got married in Costa Careyes which is in Jalisco about 60 miles south of Puerto Vallarta. I remember driving by huge plantations of bananas and coconuts! I think I might have even snapped a photo or two! I'll have to check the old film photo box and see. |
