Puerto Vallarta is widely considered one of the most gorgeous and romantic cities on Mexico’s coastline; among famous romances that played out here you’ll find that of Liz Taylor and Richard Burton, no less! But this fame and prestige is fairly new; before the filming of Tennessee Williams Night of the Iguana Puerto Vallarta was a small, idyllic fishing village where you were more likely to run into wildlife than tourists.
Puerto Vallarta
The whole city is overlooked by the distinctive tower of the church of Our Lady of Guadalupe, and this landmark is often used as a navigational tool by those who are new to the city. Nonetheless it is arguably the Plaza Principal that is the heart of the town. The colonial centre there brings together people of all ages and persuasions on a daily basis.
When you’re wandering the town you’ll, no doubt, see some interesting people and things, but the bulk of the action can be found fairly easily by simply strolling down the historic Malecon. The boardwalk skirts the coastline for several blocks and ends in an amphitheatre that is just buzzing with activity and entertainment.
Puerto Vallarta can offer everything you might want or need; from championship standard golf courses to horseback riding and jungle excursions it’s all accessible and world-class!
