Information

Among the prestigious restaurants, craft stands, and souvenir shops of the Isla Rio Cuale river walk, is the Museo del Cuale, funded by the INAH (National Institute of Anthropology and History), which for 30 years has presented to the public, locals and visitors alike, the traditions and customs of some migrant groups  who populated this region, the "West" of Mexico between 5000 and 2000 B.C.

The museum’s permanent exhibitions offers a look into these groups through various authentic artifacts of pottery, art, and hunting and gathering tools such as projectile points, scrapers and hammers. All of which were excavated in the Sayula-Zacoalco, Jalisco, Mantanchen Bay, and Nayarit regions, as well as the Ixtapa area, and in and around Puerto Vallarta and Puerto Marqués, Guerrero.
