Caressed by the azure waters of Banderas bay and embraced by the stunning mountains of the
Sierra Madre, Puerto Vallarta is one of Mexico's favourite sunny
spots for international travelers. Once a port that processed
silver brought down from the surrounding mountains, and forever
transformed and projected to the world after director John Huston's
1964 movie The
Night of the Iguana starring Richard
Burton and Hollywood diva Ava Gardner. Puerto Vallarta soon
became a must-visit resort while in Mexico due to its picturesque
cobblestone streets, white houses, lush vegetation, cultural
and nightlife offer.
The 26 miles (42km) of beaches along Banderas Bay are divided
in seven sections: North Vallarta (Punta de Mita/Bucerias),
Nuevo Vallarta, Marina Vallarta, Vallarta Hotel Zone, Vallarta
Downtown, Romantic Zone and South Vallarta (Mismaloya / Boca
de Tomatlan). All offer different moods and even architectural
approaches, but all share the beatiful seascapes, warm weather
and the already world-famous friendly Mexican service.
Cool breezes flow down from the mountains along the Río
Cuale, which runs through the center of town. Fanciful public
sculptures grace the boardwalk, or malecón,
which is bordered by lively restaurants, shops, and bars. The
malecón is a magnet for both residents and visitors,
who stroll the main walkway to take in an ocean breeze, a multihued
sunset, or a moonlit, perfect wave.

Puerto Vallarta: From Family, Sporty or Party Holiday
Puerto Vallarta is a real paradise for water-sports lovers,
from Deep-sea fishing to scuba diving and snorkeling all year
round to whale watching from December to March. Surf waves are
pretty high from May to November.
Due to its lush mountain surroundings, Puerto Vallarta offers
a great deal of adventure and ecological tours. Breathtaking
waterfalls and heart-accelerating experiences as a good swish
between treetops hanging from a zipline. Horseriding is also
popular among visitors, the views of the Sierra Madre are simply
amazing.
Since Puerto Vallarta is such an attractive Mexican town, international
cruise lines offer an almost mandatory stop when traveling by
Mexico's Pacific Ocean coast. Once there, cruise and land visitors
stroll up and down the town's colorful streets and alleys in
search for the perfect gift or souvenir in its many and original
shops.
Later on, you can sip a Tequila Margarita on any of the
terrace restaurants while watching the sunset. A wide array
of culinary offers and will blow your mind. For more than a
decade, Vallarta has hosted the exciting International Festival
Gourmet, which features dozens of the world’s best chefs creating
culinary masterpieces in tandem with those at our finest restaurants
every November.
