Hollywood discovered this little fishing village back in the 1960s, and since then the luxury resorts and bougainvillea-covered villas have flourished in the delightful seaside climate. Yet hints of past tranquility remain: cobbled courtyards where the locals hold their markets, and superb sport-fishing just offshore.

The city made famous by the movie 'Night of The Iguana' with Liz Taylor and Richard Burton. Until that time, Puerto Vallarta was just another sleepy city on the west coast of Mexico! Its popularity has not faded in the intervening years, and this Pacific coast town has maintained its grand prize resort status. Puerto Vallarta hugs the Bahia de Banderas, the largest natural bay in Mexico. Its 100 miles of coastline -- studded with palm trees and ringed by mountains -- are some of the most spectacular beaches in the world, with long flat stretches north of town and secluded coves and inlets to the south.

There are 5 areas in Puerto Vallarta,Downtown , Hotel zone area, south or Mismaloya area , center or Marina and the Nuevo Vallarta area.New developing area ispunta mita . It is a taxi ride for those that want to stay in the Mismaloya or Nuevo Vallarta areas. It is possible to walk to town from some of the hotels in the Marina/city area. One thing about the beaches, some have packed sand, while others have the deep loose sand that makes walking hard.


Airport code is PVR. Boat trips, horseback riding, golf, Eco tours and a 150 foot waterfall. Lots to do here or if you want just sit around and enjoy the quiet beach. The town is quaint looking with a lot of the Spanish influence visible in the buildings. There are 2 good golf courses, one in the Marina area (newest) and one north of the airport. Many tennis courts (lots of clay) and several tennis centers. Scuba and snorkeling is available but is not as good as the Cancun area.

In the bay just south of the city are the famous Los Arcos (The Arches), a series of three rock islands that are natural shelters (and protected ecological zones) for an astonishing variety of marine life and water birds. The largest rock forms the natural arch that gives the triad its name. Tour boats head to Los Arcos daily, and snorkelers and divers can get up close and personal with the manta rays, Golfina turtles, and tropical fish that use Los Arcos as home base.
