About Puerto Vallarta

Brosteinsgater, en promenade ved sjøen og jungelkledde fjell gir Puerto Vallarta, ved Banderas-bukten i Mexico, sin lette sjarm ved Stillehavet.

Malecón, en lang promenade ved sjøen kantet av bronseskulpturer, knytter gamlebyen sammen med restauranter, barer og gallerier, og sognekirken Guadalupe kroner sentrum med sitt særegne tårn med krone på toppen. Den romantiske sonen, sør for Cuale-elven, har brosteinsgater, stranden Los Muertos og brygga, og et livlig kveldsliv.

Top-ranked sights in Puerto Vallarta: Banderas Bay (Bahía de Banderas), El Malecon, Los Arcos National Marine Park.
