COUNTRIES VISITED:Jalisco
PLACES VISITED:Puerto Vallarta
SUGGESTED DURATION:3 Days
Puerto Vallarta, on the Mexican Rivera, is book-ended by tall luxury resorts and a long line of white sand beach but in its center there are charming colonial buildings and the remnants of a sleepy fishing town. The most popular activities are water-sports on any part of the Golden Zone, a resorty stretch of sand. The Old Town is an attractive district for sightseeing and the perusal of some picturesque colonial architecture.
