Safety Tips
- Puerto Vallarta has won awards for its handling of tourism and its clean water supply; safety and sanitation
receive high priority in our community.
- In your quest for a good time on your vacation, your eating and drinking habits are often radically different
than what you're used to back home. In addition, climate and altitude changes
can throw your system off. To ensure you enjoy your vacation to its fullest,
consider the following: Be sure to drink lots of fluids; especially the day
before arriving.
- Try not to go overboard your first night. Give your body a chance to acclimate.
Drink only distilled or bottled water.
- When buying fresh fruits and vegetables, be sure to wash them thoroughly.
- Puerto Vallarta has an excellent safety record; it counts with Policia Turistica (Tourist Police).
They patrol the most concurred areas of Puerto Vallarta and wear a white uniform.
Most of them speak some English and can help you with directions or with any
problem you might encounter.
