Introducing Troncones & Majahua
Not long ago, Troncones was a poor, sleepy fishing and farming village. That all changed in the mid-1990s when wealthy North American colonists arrived and began building luxury beachfront vacation homes and B&Bs. Tourists followed for the unspoiled beaches, relaxing atmosphere and world-class surfing. Development continues and is now spilling over into neighboring Majahua. Despite this, Troncones retains its sleepy village feel; chickens and burros roam wild, the single main street is still unpaved and there is precious little to do aside from relaxing in a hammock and soaking up the sun.
