Located in the Bahia Banderas on the Pacific Ocean, Puerto Vallarta is one of Mexico’s most popular resort cities. It is a paradise for beach lovers where you will always find something to do, numerous restaurants and a variety of Puerto Vallarta vacation rentals
Being bored is never a possibility in this charming place. Beautiful beaches, incredible watersports, and different side trips or simply relaxing under the sun are just some of the entertaining alternatives that the town offers. If you love the sun and beach type of vacation you will simply love staying at a Puerto Vallarta villa
And one of the best things about this town is that you will not only get the typical beach experience but you will travel to a culturally rich place. A unique mix of pre-Columbian mystical traditions and contemporary cultures from around the world make Puerto Vallarta one of the most desired and interesting getaways in Mexico. In Puerto Vallarta you get to know the Mexican culture and at the same time do fun things such as swimming with dolphins; a great activity if you are staying at a Puerto Vallarta lodging with kids. Several close-up encounter programs suitable for expert swimmers or non-swimmers are available everywhere.
There are also tons of great festivals to enjoy and take advantage. During November for example, there is the Puerto Vallarta Golf Cup which welcomes amateur golfers from Mexico, USA and Canada. You can also have fun at the Puerto Vallarta Film Festival which showcases films from North and South America. If you are a food lover you can participate in the Puerto Vallarta Festival Gourmet International.
Although Puerto Vallarta offers plenty of things to do and sometimes you may not even have enough time to experience everything, there are some great side trips that can be done in a day if you would like to get out and experience nature at its best. Bucerias, Sayulita and San Francisco are all great small towns north of Puerto Vallarta that provide great ambiances and natural settings.
If you like arts and visiting galleries I recommend you stop by the well known galleries, the Arte de las Americas for contemporary and Mexican art and the Puerco Azul gallery for Folk art.
