Wellness the San Pancho Way

By Christina D. Famiglietti

The little town of San Pancho, Mexico, has a rich history. In fact, it's name is just a nickname, since it's officially called San Francisco after San Francisco de Assisi, the town's patron saint. Located on the Pacific coast of Mexico just a few minutes north of Sayulita, another popular beach town, the quiet town of San Pancho is starting to become more well-known. Although just a low-key town most of the year, during tourist season, travelers the world over bring this small town to life.

So what kinds of activities are available for visitors in San Pancho? The town's gold beaches feature calm, clear ocean water which is ideal for swimming, water sports activities, or relaxing on the beaches and basking in the sun for all its tanning glory. But this town is also a well-known area for holistic activities such as yoga, massage, and other homeopathic services.

If you're considering a spa vacation, you can combine improving your overall wellness while enjoying magnificent views of the Pacific Ocean in San Pancho.

Massage is also popular in San Pancho.

Non-traditional methods of healing other than massage, such as acupuncture and the art of Reiki are also available.

If your hotel doesn't offer these services, you'll find plenty of wellness centers in and around town that have private retreats and yoga classes. Services are offered not only to tourists but also for residents of the area too, so you may meet some of the town's friendly locals.
