Puerto Vallarta is located in the state of Jalisco, on the western coast of the Pacific Ocean, and is part of the so-called Costalegre.
This magnificent beach destination is sheltered by the second largest bay in the continent, the Bay of Banderas, known for its extraordinary natural beauty, its unexplored deep waters and the abundance of its marine life. But at the same time, its charm also lies in its spas and grand tourism hotels that attract thousands of visitors.
The picturesque “pueblo” of Puerto Vallarta has its own architectural style. Its cobblestone streets and adobe houses topped with red roofs highlight the elegance of the Mexican colonial style.
Famous for its sunsets, Puerto Vallarta is located in a fertile region rich in plants and marine life. The presence of species such as dolphins, turtles and humpback whales adds to the rest of its natural attractions. In addition, lovers of adventure will find endless options in ecotourism activities such, as diving and kayaking.
In recent years, Vallarta has become famous as an ideal place for art given the growing number of galleries and showrooms, as well as a gay-friendly destination.
