context_page_description: Costalegre is a series of different beaches, capes and bays of various sizes distributed alongside the Pacific Ocean on the western coastline of the Mexican state of Jalisco, between Puerto Vallarta, Jalisco and Manzanillo, Colima.
context_section_description: In the north of Jalisco, the indigenous Huichol people live in towns in mountainous areas that are difficult to access.  They call themselves wixarica, "The People," in their own language. The name "Huichol" is derived from the name that was given to them by Nahuatl speakers. Along Constalegre it is possible to find Huichol handmade crafts, drapes and traditional toys.
  Related to Nahuatl, the Huichol language belongs to the Coracholan branch of the Uto-Aztecan language family.
