Puerto Vallarta, Mexico

If you find yourself in Puerto Vallarta and are bored, you better check your pulse. If you think that the city is just another resort city, you better break out the dictionary. Though the focus may be on fun, sun, sand, surf and such, it's time to sign up for a jungle tour -- how can that be dull? Or what about the numerous events or attractions around the city? Puerto Vallarta is one of the friendliest and cleanest beach resorts in all of Mexico. Old Mexican charm and modern conveniences have collided like nowhere else. In many cases, donkeys are still used as a delivery method and the local artisans are Indians who have been producing and manufacturing their crafts using the same methods for hundreds of years.

Puerto Vallarta is on the same latitude as Hawaii, so if you've been there, that's what to expect in Puerto Vallarta. English is widely spoken, especially downtown and in dining areas.



The Top 7 Attractions in Puerto Vallarta

Malecon

This waterfront boulevard is the best place to mingle with the locals, think of it as the city square.

Yelapa

This beautiful tiny village is only accessible by boat and features great food, remote beaches, a spectacular 150-foot waterfall, and unspoiled natural beauty.

Casa Kimberly 

This house, in Gringo Gulch, that Richard Burton bought for Elizabeth Taylor during their love affair put Puerto Vallarta on the map.

Elizabeth Taylor's  penthouse, The Cleopatra Suite

Deadman's Beach, named after the legendary pirate raids on the nearby village, is one of the most popular beaches in the city.
