Puerto Vallarta, Mexico - In Riviera Nayarit luxury means surprises! This is why February will bring a large number of activities to the coast of Compostela. The communities of Rincón de Guayabitos, Los Ayala and La Peñita de Jaltemba will experience a month of lively entertainment.

The activities will begin on February 1st with the 9th International Margarita Challenge, where the queen of all drinks - the margarita - will help raise funds for the education of local children and families. The event will be held at the Piña Colada restaurant, starting at 4:30 pm.

The 5th Annual La Herradura Tournament is a "legendary" and colorful horseshoe pitching competition. The event is held in honor of Robert Howell, and participants must register after February 2 at Mateja's Restaurant. The tournament will take place at 8:30 am at David's Palapa, and will have t-shirts, food and drinks for sale, and raffles for cash. All proceeds will be donated to local organizations.

On February 21st, a fashion show will take place at Thomas Bartlett's house, featuring the creations of five designers that will be modeled by women of La Penita de Jaltemba. Doors open at 11 am, lunch will be served at noon, and the fashion show will begin at 1 pm. Proceeds will be donated to the Mujeres a Mujeres (Women for Women) organization, which raises funds for college scholarships, to build schools in the region, and to support the Breast Cancer Clinic.

The 4th annual Golf Tournament La Casa de los Niños will be played on February 24th at the Campo de Ensueño, a new 9-hole, par-29 course located on the Vallarta-Tepic highway, a few miles from Rincon de Guayabitos. Funds raised from this event will be donated to The Children's House, a community center for children of La Peñita de Jaltemba.

And as if this wasn't enough, the Rincón de Guayabitos Festival, held every year with the support of the Association of Hotels and Motels of Compostela, will offer cultural activities every Saturday night in February in the main square of this community. The program is yet to be defined, but promises lots of fun.

The Convention and Visitors Bureau (CVB) of Riviera Nayarit welcomes the initiative of NGOs (non-govermental orginizations) in this area, which promote these activities that attract new visitors to the destination known as Mexico's Pacific Treasure.
