Puerto Vallarta

Puerto Vallarta is located in the Banderas Bay, the second largest bay in the Americas. Vallarta is 352 km west of Guadalajara, Jalisco's capital city, just where the Occidental Mountain Range ends. Its natural environment comprises jungle, rivers, waterfalls and is blessed with a year average temperature of 27 ºC.

Amongst the main attractions we strongly advise to visit Mismaloya Beach, a favourite celebrity spot which was internationally known thanks to John Huston who filmed the famous "Night of the Iguana" staring Ava Gardner and Richard Burton. For scuba divers the hot sport is Los Arcos with its impressive rock formations that emerge from the crystal clear waters of the bay. Other attractions include the Municipal Palace with murals of Manuel Lepe and the promenade which has been revamped with romantic bronze sculptures. The city's centre streets are packed with independent shops and galleries with work by local artists. Marina Vallarta offers top quality service for yachts and sailing boats; it also features one of the region's best golf courses as well as designers shops and boutiques.
