Everything you need to know about Puerto Vallarta
There is no shortage of things to do in Puerto Vallarta, from the seaside Malecón and cobblestone Old Town to whale watching on Banderas Bay and the hidden beach at the Marietas Islands. Unlike a purpose-built resort strip, Puerto Vallarta is a real Mexican town, with a historic centre, an art scene and some of the best dining on the Pacific coast, wrapped around one of the country's largest bays. It is also one of Mexico's most welcoming destinations and a long-standing favourite with LGBT travellers. Resorts spread from the marina and Hotel Zone north into Nuevo Vallarta, with the wild Sierra Madre rising behind.
