About Puerto Vallarta

Puerto Vallarta, colloquially known as Vallarta, is a resort city on Mexico's Pacific Coast that spreads out from the Zona Romantica, its historic old town core. Around the Bay, beautiful beaches, lush jungles, and sparkling waterfalls offer many opportunities for the adventurous, while five-star resorts, world-class shopping, and gourmet restaurants satisfy even the most sophisticated traveler. A bustling boardwalk along the ocean, called the Malecon, passes by any number of shops, restaurants, and hotels, playing host to mimes, breakdancers, clowns and artists.
