One of the friendliest and most diverse beach destinations in the world, Puerto Vallarta Mexico was once a tiny fishing village that has since evolved into a world-class resort area.

On Banderas Bay, Puerto Vallarta is a favourite of travellers looking for an authentic taste of Mexico. Wind your way through the cobblestone streets, past the cathedral, craft stores, markets, restaurants, and its famous "Malecon" promenade, for an unforgettable experience, day or night.

Today there are really five areas that comprise the vacation destination of Puerto Vallarta. Immediately north of the airport is the newest beachfront resort area called Riviera Nyarit. Moving south from the airport is Marina Vallarta toward Francisco Medina Ascensio, a palm-lined boulevard to town with a string of beachfront hotels. Next is El Centro, downtown, with its cobblestone streets that wind past red tiled roofed houses. There are exclusive little boutiques, souvenir shops, fun restaurants energized with mariachi music and little old hotels with cozy bars. Finally, just south of town and away from the action is the "Conchas Chinas" upscale area. Beyond the lure of sun and surf, adventures abound for those who seek even more. From sport fishing to para-sailing, snorkelling to horseback riding...whatever your desire, you'll find it in the mountains, jungles and seas that surround the Puerto Vallarta coastline.
