Puerto Vallarta

Puerto Vallarta is located in the state of Jalisco, on the west Pacific coast, forming part of what’s known as Costalegre.

This magnificent beach destination is endowed with the second largest bay in the Americas, the Bahía de Banderas, known for its extraordinary natural beauties, unexplored ocean depths, and the abundance of marine life. But at the same time, its charm is also found in its spas and grand tourism hotels that draw in thousands of visitors.

The picturesque “pueblo,” as the old part of Puerto Vallarta is known, has its own architectural style. Its cobblestone streets and adobe homes topped off with red tiled roofs highlight the elegance of Mexican colonial style.

Famous for its sunsets, Puerto Vallarta is located in a fertile region rich in plants and sea life. The presence of species such as dolphins, sea turtles, and humpback whales add to the rest of the natural attractions here. Additionally, adventure lovers will find plentiful options for ecotourism activities like scuba diving and kayaking.

In recent years, Vallarta has gained fame as a great place for art thanks to the growing number of galleries and exhibition salons. It’s also a gay friendly destination.
