Puerto Vallarta has Something for Everyone!

Puerto Vallarta has Something for Everyone!  When one hears the words Puerto Vallarta, what images are conjured up? Certainly kilometers of sandy beaches, the Malecon (Puerto Vallarta’s popular seaside boardwalk) with its signature stone arches, outdoor amphitheater and eclectic collection of bronze sculptures mounted at various locations along its route. But what else does Puerto Vallarta hold in store for its millions of visitors every year? Well the answer to that question depends of course on your age, or at least, how old you feel. For the young, or the young at heart, Sea Life Park, with its kilometers of water slides and swim with the Dolphin Adventure is an experience of a life time. As is the Marigalante Pirate day or night cruise in this Columbus-era replica tall ship and pirate show in the evening. Puerto Vallarta has become a Spring Break staple amongst the University crowd, who return year after year to worship at the temple of the Hard Rock Café or the famous Señor Frogs theme entertainment bar. Puerto Vallarta has a diverse offering of night life for just about everyone. Fun for the whole family is available at every turn. There are daily excursions into the jungle or on the water with Vallarta Adventures, thrilling canopy cable rides, boat excursions to small villages and stunning waterfalls accessibly only by boat, and lush cultural experiences with traditional song and dance with tours like, Rhythms of the Night or a dinner and show at La Iguana. If you are a mariner, there is no shortage of vessels available by the day or week, led by an experienced skipper for world-class sport fishing, sailing vessels or catamarans, and international sailing competitions with the annual J24 and other regattas. And don’t miss checking out the brand new marina at La Cruz de Huanacaxtle. If you and your special someone are looking for something little quieter, fewer cities boast the wealth and variety of dining opportunities than Puerto Vallarta with several world class restaurants who participate in lavish event throughout the year like the Festival of Altruism, Restaurant Week, The Gourmet Festival, the Festival of Sommeliers and even a Festival of Concierges, most of which combine exquisite dining opportunities with important fundraising activities for many important local charities. Many of these restaurants also feature professional musical acts from traditional Mariachi to cool Jazz. Truly the only thing you will have trouble finding in beautiful Puerto Vallarta is enough time to do it all! Buena Viaje! |
