Nestled on the Bahía de Banderas (Bay of Flags), between the towering Sierra Madre Mountains and the sparkling waters of the Pacific Ocean, Puerto Vallarta, once a refuge for 17th Century seafarers and pirates, is today one of Mexico’s most exciting vacation destinations.

Puerto Vallarta’s authentic Mexican village charm and world class resort allure attract thousands of visitors each year from around the globe (especially from the U.S. and Canada) seeking adventure, romance, rest and relaxation, and to experience the rich Mexican culture.

Puerto Vallarta or “Vallarta” (as it is endearingly called) can sincerely boast to have it all: Prodigious weather (it’s on the same latitude as Hawaii), beautiful pristine beaches and unspoiled coves, lush emerald jungle with dramatic vistas, but most of all, the incomparable warmth and hospitability of its people! Just ask around.

Puerto Vallarta is so much more than just another beach destination; nearby, hidden in the mountains, lies a land of legend and fascinating history waiting to be discovered: The Mexican towns of San Sebastian Del Oeste (currently in UNESCO’s World Heritage tentative list) and Mascota, both mining towns of yore, preserve the magical qualities of simpler days.

No matter what activity you indulge yourself in while in Vallarta; whether its deep sea fishing(Blue Marlin and giant Tuna abound in the rich waters of the bay) or golf, or driving a jeep through a mountain road, you can rest assured that your visit to this Paradise will be an unforgettable, life lasting experience.
