Known for its friendly people and great temperatures year around, the great choice of hotels and resorts guarantees that Vallarta can cater to everybody's vacation tastes and styles. It counts with some of the finest and most secure beaches in Mexico making it one of the most visited tourist destinations within our country. In Puerto Vallarta you can do countless of things in one single day. Mountain biking, snorkeling, scuba diving, horseback riding, hot air ballooning and more for the active traveler are some examples. Day trips range from a flight to a mountain silver mining village to a cruise to the island preserve of many endangered species, from booze cruises to dolphin and whale watching.
In the evening you can have a romantic dinner while watching a great sunset as you enjoy your food and the singing of a local mariachi. Wouldn't you like to be there already?
In Puerto Vallarta you will find locals along the malecon (boardwalk) showing
their sand work, odd rock balancing, clowns, mimics, etc. It is customary but
not an obligation to give them a tip for their work .
Most people in Vallarta are very friendly and go out of their way to give you a hand if they notice that you need help.
Do not be afraid to ask for directions if you don't find your way to your
destination; just ask about the hotel's location, street, or restaurant by its
name and surely you will get a good Samaritan who will be eager to guide you.
Keep in mind that you are in a tourist destination and certainly will not have
trouble finding someone who speaks English.
This beautiful place counts with one of the most popular and modern marina in Mexico. It includes golf courses,
a 355-slip marina, a water park and several 5-star hotels. Puerto Vallarta also counts with
three
shopping malls with over 100 shops offering everything from traditional souvenirs to fashionable boutiques and
modern
grocery stores. Right through the heart of Puerto Vallarta, int the middle of the downtown hustle and bustle, runs the
Cuale river. As it approaches the ocean, it divides to surround a picturesque island with boutiques and restaurants
scattered throughout, among the lush vegetation and the romantic atmosphere of the river. Nice place to take a break from
a busy day of shopping and sightseeing.
