About Troncones
Troncones is a small community located on a beautiful 3 mile stretch of beach 
about 30 minutes North of Ixtapa and Zihuatenejo in the state of Guerrero, Mexico. The village is comprised of beachfront inns, rentals, private homes and restaurants. At the center of town you will find small stores, a school, church and public library which was donated by local residents.
Local activities include surfing, body boarding, kayaking, fishing, snorkeling, hiking, cave exploring, jungle tours, horseback riding, mountain biking or just laying on the beach.
For local eco-tours of the area there is only one company, Costa Nativa Eco-tours run by Alejandro Rodriguez. Alejandro is an Oceanographer who lives in Troncones. He is also the manager of our rental property.
Location
Directions to La Marea from the airport:
From the airport head north…It is the only direction you can go. Stay on the main road and you will go through the main business district of Zihuatanejo, there are several lights and it is quite busy just stay with the main flow of traffic headed north. You will go up a big hill. At the top of the hill go right following the sign that says “Lazaro Cardenas”… do not go towards Ixtapa.
Now you are on the main (and only) road North bound. There are several interchanges that lead down to some of the smaller towns just keep going in the main direction…following the signs that say “Lazaro Cardenas”. After about 30 minutes you will see the turn off for Troncones (It is very obvious). Go left and take the road all the way to the beach (1.5 mi.). The road ends at the beach. Go right and stay on the dirt road for about 5 or 10 minutes…..when you pass “Hacienda Eden” we are just about five more houses up on the left. There is a big wood gate with a sign that says “La Marea”. It is easier than it may sound.
