5 Days / 4 Nights
Puerto Vallarta
Old-world cobblestone charm meets Pacific sunsets on Banderas Bay, backed by the jungle-covered Sierra Madre.
Why Travelers Love Puerto Vallarta
Puerto Vallarta sits where the Sierra Madre mountains tumble into Banderas Bay, one of the largest and calmest natural bays on Mexico's Pacific coast. It is a destination that manages to feel both authentic and effortless — mornings start with huevos rancheros at a malecón café, afternoons drift between golden-sand beaches and the cobblestone streets of the Zona Romántica, and evenings end with fresh-caught mahi-mahi as the sun drops into the ocean. Unlike purpose-built resort corridors, Vallarta grew from a real fishing town, and its art galleries, taco stands, and hillside neighborhoods still carry that character. Your promotional package places you at a partner resort on or near the bay, so the water taxi docks, the boardwalk, and the old town are all within easy reach.
Trip Highlights
Malecón Boardwalk
A mile-long oceanfront esplanade lined with sculptures, street performers, and open-air restaurants — the heart of the city every evening.
Zona Romántica
The old town’s cobblestone quarter, packed with galleries, rooftop bars, and some of the best street food in western Mexico.
Los Arcos Marine Park
Granite arches rising from the bay — the region’s signature snorkeling and diving spot, reached by a short panga ride.
Sierra Madre Excursions
Zip-line canopies, hidden waterfalls, and the mountain pueblo of San Sebastián del Oeste less than an hour from your resort.
Puerto Vallarta Questions, Answered
Do I need a passport for Puerto Vallarta?
Yes. Puerto Vallarta is an international destination, so every traveler needs a valid passport. U.S. and Canadian citizens do not need a separate visa for stays under 180 days; you will complete a simple tourist entry form on arrival.
When is the best time to visit Puerto Vallarta?
November through May is the dry season — sunny days in the low 80s with cool evenings. Summer is hotter and greener, with brief afternoon rain and noticeably fewer crowds. Whale-watching season on Banderas Bay runs December through March.
Is Puerto Vallarta walkable?
The central zones are among the most walkable in coastal Mexico. The malecón, Zona Romántica, and downtown flow together, and inexpensive taxis and local buses cover everything beyond them.
