View PDF | Print View
Once upon a time, Puerto Vallarta was a small silver mining village before it experienced a transformation into a luxurious vacation hot spot. Today, it features fine restaurants, trendy shopping malls, and lavish resorts along with its sandy beaches, sunny weather, and sparkling waters. The scenic landscape of Puerto Vallarta is dotted with Colonial architecture and European style villas, condos, and hotels. This town offers a number of water sports including sport fishing, swimming, surfing, whale watching, and dolphin sighting. Plus, if you are into something a bit more adventurous, you can always take advantage of one of the jungle tours that showcase native wildlife. This gorgeous resort town offers numerous fine dining opportunities that include palapas, castles, cafes, and restaurants. The featured cuisine is decidedly Mexican in flavor with tacos and quesadillas at the top of the list of food choices. It’s no wonder that Puerto Vallarta is known as the culinary capital of Mexico. In fact, the annual Gourmet Dining Festival takes place there every November. Partially protected by the Sierra Madre Mountain Range, the Bay of Banderas offers miles upon miles of scenic coastline and beaches. Moreover, many excellent resorts and luxury hotels provide deluxe accommodations while more than 1,000 restaurants offer the opportunity to indulge in a little traditional flavor. On the South Side of the Bay of Banderas, one will find the newest section of fine hotels and resorts. This area has been labeled, “The Romantic Zone,” and offers the perfect hot spot for newlyweds from all walks of life. If it’s golfing that you are after, the Marina Puerto Vallarta offers an excellent 18-hole championship course. Plus, Mexico’s largest marina with luxury yachts and sailing vessels of all types offers hours of entertaining fun, sailing charters, and fishing charters. Even though this area is only about twenty years old, it features deluxe European style hotels, an oceanfront boardwalk, smooth roadways, and more. About the Author
