Teacapan Profile
|
| Teapacan is an out of the way place with simple charm. Slated for development by the federal government, Teacapan is for the moment a sleepy small town that attracts lovers of remote, untouristy beaches. An excellent destination for curious travelers, its Agua Bravo Estuary is a wonderful destination for birdwatchers, and contains an ancient mountain of seashells that’s a puzzlement to today’s archaeologists. |
