PUERTO VALLARTA

The Puerto Vallarta region is actually several destinations rolled into one, each with its own character and charm. The River Cuale divides the town into north and south. On the southern end is the quaint Romantic Zone where the Playa los Muertos attracts sun worshippers to its golden sand and countless beach bars. Further south the seaside villages of Boca de Tomatlan and Mismaloya where The Night of the Iguana was filmed. The Old Town meanders uphill to Gringo Gulch and along the bay where you’ll find the Main square and Los Arcos amphitheater with its daily free performances that draw many spectators.

Puerto Vallarta’s renowned Malecón – seaside promenade – runs from the Romantic Zone to the start of the Hotel Zone. Here you’ll find an imaginative collection of bronze sculptures, including the town’s iconic Seahorse.

Further north are the Hotel Zone and Marina where many resorts and restaurants are located. Go across a modern bridge and you move from the State of Jalisco into Nayarit, home to the rapidly developing Riviera Nayarit with charming towns such as Bucerias and Sayulita, in addition to a lot more resorts with facilities ready to provide all business travel solutions.

The locals are genuinely happy to welcome an average of 3.7 million visitors to their town. You’ll be encouraged to practice your Spanish but pretty much everyone can converse with you in English.

Puerto Vallarta enjoys a tropical climate. During the sunny dry season, from November to May, daytime temperatures linger at 27˚ to 30˚ C (80˚ to 85˚F) and there is virtually no rain. At night, the temperature drops to 16˚ to 18˚ C (55˚ to 65˚F). The hotter, humid rainy season is from June to October.

Today, Puerto Vallarta reigns as one of Mexico’s most popular winter destinations because of its great diversity and almost perfect climate. Along with golden beaches, mountains and jungles you’ll discover modern amenities and creature comforts for VIP travel.
