Puerto Vallarta

On Mexico’s Pacific Coast, Puerto Vallarta is a lively seaside resort that has been very popular since the biggest movie stars of the 1970s came to film in its enchanting setting. Protected by the verdant slopes of the peaks of the Sierra Madre Occidental, the town is bathed by the gentle, calm and brilliant blue waters of the Bahía de Banderas. Don’t miss the chance to stroll along the colourful and paved little streets of old Vallarta, where many artisans and art galleries have taken up residence, and to admire the sunset over the bay from the Malecón (the promenade).
