Puerto Vallarta Treasures

Puerto Vallarta is just one of those places that you need to "expect the unexpected."

From the moment you exit the airplane, Vallarta is an area of extreme contrasts and amazing diversity. The smell of jet fuel on the tarmac mixes with the scent of grilling chickens, tropical flowers and lush salt air.

Paved highways intersect with cobblestone streets and taxis whiz by an old man riding a burro laden down with five gallon plastic pails filled with rocks and a hand woven serape in place of a saddle.

Beach dogs, belonging to no one yet everyone, laze in the sun on the beach as the tourists next to them toss back margaritas. Children from every corner of Vallarta and the world dart in between the dogs and beach-goers, frolick in the ocean and communicate with each other in languages only children really understand.

Nestled on the sand, the wealthy sprawl shoulder to shoulder with the "poor in pocket but rich in spirit" and no one really cares; they both are enjoying their spot in the sun and hopeful for a glimpse of a spectacular sunset.

Night time is the right time in Vallarta.

The warm tropical air at sunset reeks of romance and expectations. Everything is there, from images of fabulous five course dinners to prayers that there are enough tortillas, beans and carne asada for the entire family.

Couples walk the Malecon and kiss as the waves splash below; local young men flirt with the local young females, both hoping tonight is the night they meet their future spouse; mature lovers watch their grandchildren eat cotton candy and strawberries smothered in cream while the parents hold hands and beam as they look on.

Music blares from the clubs on the Malecon and girls in brand new heels and tight mini-skirts dance on the ledges as they brandish their tans and sunburns to anyone who wants to watch.

The lights along the Malecon cast a warm glow upon the beach, the sand sculptures of Jesus and the Virgin de Guadalupe, the rock balancers, the fire-people and Aztec dancers.

While Vallarta has a plethora of planned activities and tours, the best experiences and memories may just be the unexpected little treasures you come across as you explore the cobblestone streets and corners around Puerto Vallarta!

Villa Mercedes ubicado en la Zona Romántica de Puerto Vallarta

The Puerto Vallarta Romantic Zone is perfect for couples who want to spend a romantic weekend together.

The Puerto Vallarta Romantic Zone can be found in downtown Puerto Vallarta. It is bordered by water on two sides: on the north by the Cuale River and on the west by Playa de Los Muertos, or Beach of the Dead. On Zona Romantica’s south is Santa Barbara street, while on the east is Insurgentes street.

As with the other areas in downtown Puerto Vallarta, the Romantic Zone boasts cobblestone streets. Various hotels and resorts perfect for couples are located on the shorelines of the Romantic Zone.

One of the most popular attractions in Puerto Vallarta's Romantic Zone is Los Muertos Beach. According to the legend, a war broke out between the local natives and gold and silver smugglers. At the end of the war, the beach now known as Los Muertos was covered with dead bodies. Another theory behind the name was that the beach was formerly used by the indigenous people of Puerto Vallarta as a cemetery. Despite the stories, it remains one of the most famous beaches in Puerto Vallarta.

Day activities include sunbathing, relaxing under palapas, beach volleyball and parasailing, among others. At the Los Muertos Pier, you can rent small boats for fishing or take water taxi rides to southern villages. For late nights, you can go to various clubs and jazz bars in the area.

The walkway at Olas Altas also attracts numerous visitors every day. Myriad shops and restaurants line the sidewalk.

Renowned art galleries can be found at the edge of the Romantic Zone of Puerto Vallarta, near its borders. These galleries display traditional Huichol art, which are typically animal sculptures made of yarn and decorated with beads.

For a truly relaxing time, come visit Puerto Vallarta's Romantic Zone!
