The classic Mexican resort town, Puerto Vallarta has been welcoming visitors since the 1950s. Bordered by the impressive Sierra Madre Mountains and a sweep of golden sand beach, Puerto Vallarta comprises the old town and the sophisticated marina area. Visitors from around the world are charmed by the old town with its steep cobblestone streets, wrought iron balconies draped with colourful bougainvillea plants, and traditional restaurants. Shops offer the latest in resort wear and traditional Mexican buys such as crafts; galleries appeal to the art collector with their original pieces and sculptures… and the colourful outdoor market tempts you to haggle over inexpensive pottery, jewelry and weavings. For a taste of home, head to one of several modern shopping malls. Join the locals for a stroll along the malecon, or seafront promenade, which provides great people-watching on weekend nights. Stop at one of dozens of cafés for your favourite cooling beverage. Or head inland on a rollicking jeep tour. Sports enthusiasts enjoy world class deep-sea fishing; and everyone in love enjoys a romantic sunset cruise. Come see why Puerto Vallarta has been making magical vacation memories for over 50 years.
