Travel to Puerto Vallarta in Mexico

Enjoy the natural wonders of Puerto Vallarta

If you dream of picturesque sunsets, beautiful beaches and a dazzling night-life then Puerto Vallarta, Mexico, may just be the destination you are looking for. Founded in 1851, the sleepy fishing village first gained importance when it was used in the film 'The Night of the Iguana'. Not long afterwards it gained a road link with Tepic and it has since grown rapidly.

Today Puerto Vallarta is one of the best known holiday centers in the country. The town itself is incredibly picturesque and features a large number of white walled houses roofed with red tiles which fan out around a vast bay. In between the houses you will find a number of cobbled alleys which further add to the cities charm. While most visitors enjoy this aspect of the town, most look to the long, wide beaches and tropical scenery as their main source of holiday entertainment. The beaches offer a wide range of water-sports so you can be sure to find a suitable way of enjoying the refreshing waters of the sea. If you're tired of soaking up the sun or enjoy the deep blue waters of the sea you might head to the Malecón or promenade where you will find a number of Puerto Vallarta hotels, restaurants and night spots. The promenade is also a great place to enjoy some Puerto Vallarta shopping - weather you are shopping for food, clothing or gifts to take home.

If the weather turns a bit miserable, which is highly unlikely, you might try visiting the small museum in Escuela 15 de Mayo or the Guadalupe Church. You could also try a day trip to nearby Nuevo Vallarta and its adjoining fishing village of Bucerais. Rineón de Guayabitas and Peñita de Jaltemba are also easily accessible. People generally enjoy their holiday to Puerto Vallarta so much that they continually return to enjoy the town's many delights. Why not book a flight to Puerto Vallarta now so you can enjoy sun-filled charm for yourself...
