1. Puerto Vallarta is diverse. Whether you are looking for a fun night on the town, some relaxing time at the beach, or a visit to the beautiful green jungle, this grand city offers options for all types of travelers.

2. Downtown Puerto Vallarta is set on a hill with cobblestone streets that over look the ocean. There is a promenade (Malecon) where you can walk alongside the ocean and experience culture from the different types of people. From the man on the beach who stacks large rocks ten to fifteen feet high, to the woman who sells jewelery, candies, tacos, stringed dolls and t-shirts to the children laughing and running around, this is an incredible sight.

If you like dancing, there are two long main streets lined with night clubs. Here you can meet people and dance while looking at the waves crashing. Tourists from all over the world mingle with locals, sharing stories and dancing to the Latin beat.

In downtown, there are incredible restaurants offering fresh fish, crab, tacos, zesty fajitas, and some even have a Mariachi band to add more Spanish flavor. These are fun environments for the whole family. There are more romantic restaurants with candlelit lighting which can overlook the sunset and ocean.

4. Away from the city there are many sleepy surf towns where birds chirping and the waves crashing are the only sounds you will hear. You can go whale watching, surfing, zip lining, para-sailing, kayaking, and bird watching. There are also golf courses and tennis courts.

5. The weather is upwards of 80 degrees year- round. Want to escape the brutal winter? Come to Puerto Vallarta and experience relaxing and warm weather. The locals are always friendly and most speak English to make your vacation even more divine.
