Puerto Vallarta has transformed from a seaside fishing village into a world-class destination.
Along the southern shores of Banderas Bay is the resort region of Puerto Vallarta. This bustling fishing village erupted with tourists when Richard Burton and Elizabeth Taylor brought a spotlight to town while filming The Night of the Iguana. Today, this charming destination features a lively boardwalk, historic Old Town, delicious dining and exciting nightlife.

More About Puerto Vallarta

Overview

Vallarta has become a household name when discussing Mexico destinations. It's easy to understand why people love this place. The emerald green backdrop of the Sierra Madre foothills, the colonial architecture of the historic Old Town, the warm sandy beaches, and stunning sunsets make this place one that is worthy of exploration.

Charm is not lost in Puerto Vallarta and Mismaloya and a large part of this is because the development of the region did not disturb the historic central core. It feels authentic. It takes you back to a time before resort chains moved into the region. It's a beautiful blend of old and new and for that reason, it continues to grow as a popular destination.
