San Sebastian del Oeste, Mexico
Teri travels to San Sebastian del Oeste, an hour outside of Puerto Vallarta to experience the old mining town covered with pine, coffee and avocado trees. Here she learns the origin of the avacado, called aguacate (in Spanish) that was taken from the Nahuatl word of Āhuacatl (native Aztec language) which means testicle tree.

Daytrip From Puerto Vallarta to San Sebastian del Oeste and Montebello Italian Restaurant
San Sebastian Del Oeste sits at about 4,850 feet above sea level and has a population of less than 1,000 according to the Wikipages.
First a little history, and I go to UNESCO web-page and let’s see what the folks at the United Nations Educational organization have to say about the place… On January 20, 1605, the mines of San Sebastián del Oeste were discovered, and consequently, the town was founded. Since then, the town has had a close relationship with its surroundings, which cover more than 1,970 square kilometers. The town itself now spreads over 37 partially settled hectares.
San Sebastian del Oeste was one the main mining centers in the New Spain during the Colonial period. By 1785, ten gold and silver reduction haciendas and nearly 30 mines had been established there. The small town became a city in 1812 and reached its full maturity around 1830. San Sebastian's productivity was halted by the 1910 military revolution, and soon after, foreign companies in charge of mining works moved to other areas. The last mine was abandoned 1921, and San Sebastian fell into complete oblivion. Nowadays, its main economic activities involve agriculture, stock-breeding, increasing tourism and to a lesser degree, forestry.
I had been hearing all about San Sebastian from all of my interviewees, JR well, everyone, and it was hot, Early October, so it was about time I headed for the hills.
There are many modes of transportation you can use to get to San Sebastian Del Oeste from Puerto Vallarta.
Vallarta Adventures runs tours up there, you can have a guide and a van from Superior Tours Vallarta take you up there, if you have rented a car for your stay, something I never do, but many insist and so if you have your own car, Well, that my friends is an excellent way to get to San Sebastian.
I checked my UBER App and yes, you can Uber up to San Sebastian for approximately 865 pesos each way, that’s like $45 each way,
You can get there from Puerto Vallarta by bus using the ATM Red Line Bus, but that bus will not take you directly into San Sebastian, you will have to get off that bus at a town called La Estancia. You catch the ATM bus that travels to Mascota and Talpa de Allende which take off from the corner of Lucerna and Havre Street, across from Plaza Los Glorias in Versallias, I have a map for you, and the bus leaves four times a day from there, from PV to Mascota and Talpa at 9 AM, 2:40 in the afternoon, 5:30 and 6 in the evening.
The trip should take about 2 hours and with the ATM bus, it should be about 6- or 7-dollars US, each way.
Then, when you arrive at La Estancia, a small town on the way to Mascota, you jump off the bus. Here you can grab a taxi to San Sebastián which should cost you about 200 pesos give or take, each way, like $10 US dollars. Make sure to check the schedule of the buses back to PV from La Estancia while you are there to coordinate the trip back. That means finish up in San Sebastian and find a cab to take you back to the bus stop in La Estancia, like by 4 ....listen to the podcast.
