Puerto Vallarta Description

Description

Located on the Pacific Coast of Mexico, in the state of Jalisco, Puerto Vallarta is among the top resort destinations in Mexico. Banderas Bay, the second largest bay in the Americas, offers travelers to Puerto Vallarta a chance to enjoy a delightful beach vacation under the tropical Pacific sun. This colonial city, which dates back to about 1644, is located between Banderas Bay and the magnificent Sierra Madre mountains.

The majority of the 2.2 million tourists, who experience Puerto Vallarta annually, arrive to enjoy a beach vacation, but depart with wonderful memories of having explored a charming city containing much of its original magnificent architecture. They walk the Malecon at sunset, enjoy a delicious cocktail in a seaside bar, taste the exquisite cuisines of Mexico, explore the small shops in the city and admire the beautiful cathedral.

The more active tourists enjoy some of the many daytrips offered. Some explore the Sierra Madre Mountains and the small villages located there. Others enjoy the vast variety of water sports with a chance to swim with dolphins. Still others participate in a daytime or sunset cruise to Las Caletas, once the private home of famed film director, John Huston.

Puerto Vallarta has it all! Come and experience the best of Mexico in this famous city!
