As soon as you touch down in Puerto Vallarta, in Mexico's Jalisco state on the Pacific Coast, you'll find yourself accosted by offers of "complimentary" tequila shots and greeters trying to sell you timeshares. But Puerto Vallarta was once a very different destination.

Whether you’re seeking quality beach time or action-packed adventures, cruises to Puerto Vallarta will deliver the vacation you’ve been craving. Reigning over Banderas Bay and bordered by the tropical forests of the Sierra Madre Mountains, Puerto Vallarta, is both a modern beach resort and an eco-adventure launching pad. On Mexico cruises to Puerto Vallarta, scuba dive with manta rays, spot dolphins playing in the waves, and hike to jungle cascades. Admire contemporary Latin American art in this breezy seaside city on your Carnival cruise to Puerto Vallarta.

A resort town on Mexico’s Pacific Coast, Puerto Vallarta charms visitors with its natural beauty and endless recreation. Once a tiny fishing village, the surrounding area retains the timeless, laid-back feeling of authentic Mexico. This scenic locale is punctuated with winding, quaint cobblestone streets bordered by old buildings with red-tile roofs. Families, active travelers, nature lovers and fine-dining enthusiasts never run out of places to explore, from gorgeous golf courses and miles of seascapes with whale watching to fishing tournaments and the best art scene in Mexico.
Just north of Puerto Vallarta, Riviera Nayarit boasts 100 miles of pristine coastline, framed by the Sierra Madre, and loaded with luxurious resorts, world-renowned surfing, golf courses, rare native wildlife with sea turtles, shops selling local artwork and traditional handicrafts, charming fishing towns and miles of serene beaches. Because of its location among both mountains and ocean, Riviera Nayarit is renowned for offering the most exciting tours and adventures in any beachfront destination.

A magnificent beach destination, the Puerto Vallarta region is several destinations rolled into one, each with its own character and charm. The River Cuale divides the town into north and south. On the southern end is the quaint Romantic Zone, where the Playa los Muertos attracts sun worshippers to its golden sand and countless beach bars. Further south the seaside villages of Boca de Tomatlan and Mismaloya is where The Night of the Iguana was filmed. North of the river, the Old Town meanders uphill to Gringo Gulch. Here, you’ll find the Plaza de Armas (main square) and the Los Arcos Amphitheatre, where daily free performances draw crowds.
Puerto Vallarta’s renowned Malecon (seaside promenade) runs from the Romantic Zone to the beginning of the
Hotel Zone. Here you’ll find a whimsical collection of bronze sculptures, including the town’s iconic seahorse.
If you love to shop, bring an extra suitcase because you’ll find a high concentration of boutiques and shops here,
offering everything from folk art to beachwear. From tapas bars and taco stands to chic spots on the beach
and farmers' markets, Puerto Vallarta is a foodie nirvana, and is second only to Mexico City as the country's
food mecca.

Sheltered by the jungled landscapes of the Sierra Madre Mountains to the east with incredible views of the Pacific to the west, Puerto Vallarta provides an exotic blend of vibrant culture, Mexican flavor, and nature at her best. In Downtown Puerto Vallarta, walk along the newly upgraded seafront Malecon and enjoy open-air cafes, boutiques, art galleries, and active nightlife. Along the lively Hotel Zone, enjoy watersports, nightlife, and beachcombing.
Ten minutes north of Puerto Vallarta's airport, Riviera Nayarit stretches along nearly two hundred miles of Pacific Coastline. Voted "Best Destination" by Apple Vacationers in 2012, Riviera Nayarit offers top-notch hotels, world-class golf, white and golden sand beaches, and eco-tourism adventures. Get a taste of old world Mexico in the town of Bucerias, or take in the lush natural surroundings and luxury hotels in the new town of Nuevo Vallarta.
Perfect for romantics, Mismaloya offers hotels tucked into mountains and coves, and offers some of the best views in all of Vallarta. Verdant mountains tumble toward the sea along the dramatic shoreline south of Vallarta. Marina Vallarta is convenient to the airport, and offers championship golf and an exclusive marina with shops and open air cafes. The fashionable neighborhood offers top quality hotels, plus abundant watersports, tennis, shopping, restaurants, and nightlife.

Vidanta Puerto Vallarta is a cozy oasis tucked away in The World’s Friendliest City. Lay by the pool or de-stress with a relaxing beach massage while our excellent staff takes care of your every need. Guests also enjoy full access to Nuevo Vallarta, only a short ride away.

Stretching around the sparkling blue Bahía de Banderas and backed by lush palm-covered mountains, Puerto Vallarta (or just 'Vallarta' to many) is one of Mexico's most enticing coastal destinations. Each year millions come to laze on the dazzling sandy beaches, browse in the quirky shops, nosh in the stylish restaurants and wander the picturesque central streets and enticing malecón (boardwalk). There are activities aplenty, including boat trips, horseback rides, diving trips and day trips to the interior. After sunset, Vallarta takes on a new identity with pumping nightlife along the cobblestone streets and numerous LGBT-friendly options in what is the gay beach capital of Mexico.

When people think of Mexico, images of turquoise water, white sand beaches and margaritas usually come to mind. But being on the west coast, Puerto Vallarta is much different than spots like Cancun and Cozumel which are on the Caribbean side. Instead, its beaches are golden, the water is a little rougher and chances are you’ll see more retirees than spring breakers, making it a fantastic place to get a dose of Mexican culture—along with a great tan. Here are some of the best things to do in Puerto Vallarta.

Puerto Vallarta — or simply Vallarta, as the locals call it — is a romantic's dream, with its cobblestone lanes, beachfront eateries and an old city center filled to the brim with charming boutiques. Jump onboard a Puerto Vallarta cruise and head to the shimmering waters of Yelapa beach for a dream-like escapade, or pop into Cafe des Artistes for a romantic meal in a candlelit garden. Then check out the landmark Los Arcos, a set of Roman-style arches by the waterfront, for a perfect photo of Vallarta's official symbol. For a break from the city life, head to Jardin Botanico Vallarta and enjoy the delightful scents of orchids and bromeliads and the refreshing waters of a boulder-filled river.

Known as the Pearl of the Pacific, Puerto Vallarta is a paradise for vacationers. Over the years, Puerto Vallarta has become one of Mexico's most popular winter destinations due to its great diversity and almost perfect climate. Along with golden beaches, mountains and jungles, visitors can discover modern amenities and enticing attractions here.
If you love the water, you can swim, snorkel, scuba dive, visit with sea lions and even spot a whale in Puerto Vallarta. If you like your vacations packed full of adventure, rent a sailboat, zipline through the jungle, or go on a mountain hike or jeep safari.
When it comes to romance, Puerto Vallarta delivers. Dazzling sunsets, swaying palms and candlelit beach dinners accompanied by mariachi quartets are sure to fan the flames of passion. Food lovers will also find the dining options here appealing. With all the variety, there's plenty to savour at this city's many fine restaurants.

This is more than just a coastal resort getaway. Somehow Puerto Vallarta – also known as "Vallarta" or just "PV" – maintains a small-town atmosphere, while still boasting one of the most unique and sophisticated oceanfronts in Mexico. The dining options and the hotel choices reflect more of the same – you'll find both elegance and efficiency mingled together within the hotel and restaurant areas.
Most people associate this west coast town with its boundaries – the Banderas Bay that snakes along the coast or the palm tree-lined Sierra Madre Mountains that stand tall in the east – but Puerto Vallarta is more than its scenery. Take some time to discover its other perks for yourself by sampling the delicious food, discovering a hidden boutique in the Zona Romantica, sipping a signature cocktail at a bar along the Malecón or dancing to a salsa beat in a Havana-style nightclub.
