The inspiration that permeated all the design elements was the Huichol Indian culture, present on the north side of the state and in the Nayarit Riviera. With this in mind, the floor design of the pedestrian areas of the malecon was projected to be a washed concrete mat with silhouettes of the Huichol cosmology made with hand crafted pebble stones inlaid in concrete. This technique is highly used in Puerto Vallarta.
