Puerto Vallarta travel guide

Mexico · Top sights · trending spots

Puerto Vallarta keeps cobbled streets and a tiled church in the middle of a resort coast, which is why it reads as Mexican in a way that the purpose-built places do not.

The Malecón is lined with bronze sculptures and ends at the pier at Los Muertos. Boats run to the Marietas islands, where a hidden beach sits inside a crater. Humpbacks are in the bay from December to March.
