Puerto Vallarta
The second-most visited resort in all of Mexico, attracting 2.2 million tourists per year, Puerto Vallarta has long-served as an unhurried refuge for people seeking more than just a beautiful beach. The sun-drenched colonial seaside town is both dramatic in setting and diverse in its appeal. Tropical-forested mountains and mineral-rich volcanic slopes appear to literally rise from the sea and 100 miles of mountain-ringed golden coastline hugs the beautiful Bay of Banderas .. The country’s broadest and deepest natural bay, the Bay of Banderas offers many blessings - dozens of beaches, sparkling sunshine and clear blue water ideal for snorkeling and swimming - are sheer magnets for visitors. Puerto Vallarta weather sits on the Costa Dorada of Mexico, at the mid-point of Banderas Bay. Located on the same latitude as the Hawaiian Islands (20 degrees north), its sub-tropical climate is often compared to Hawaii's Great Weather. Puerto Vallarta's weather is sunny and beautiful all year long and has tourist activities everyday of the year. As such, Puerto Vallarta has evolved to meet the needs of today’s modern tourist, but fortunately, the town has retained its quaint charm. Picturesque colonial and whitewashed buildings, cobblestone streets that wind in and out, red Spanish tile roofs, and a brilliant profusion of flowers and jungle-like fauna differentiate Puerto Vallarta from any destination.
Finally, Puerto Vallarta is a buzzing and festive city, with amazing restaurants, art galleries, night clubs and an eclectic cultural scene featuring International Film and Gourmet festivals and many other joyful celebrations. |
