Hello Travelers! I'm heading to Puerto Vallarta sometime in March. Can anyone recommend things that are must see/do. First timer on this side of Mexico and don't entirely know what to expect.
Thank you!

Rhythm of The Nights for sure, walking around Old Town and evening taco tour are all great. A Taste of Italy is a cash only restaurant in old town with super cheap homemade pasta. Busy all the time but a great little place to stop by! Also the zoo is awesome. A quick bus ride from old town and lots of fun. Also very cheap!

Nothing better than the local Taxi drivers, we hired a taxi driver for a day around $100CDN and he took us to places that is unbelievable. Best fruit stands with fresh coconuts-apparently only the locals go, quiet beaches with best views, flea market that sells the same thing as Malecon but 1/2the price, old town, best tacos...etc.

Rhythms of the Night for sure, have been twice & would go again! Bucerias market is amazing!!

Buccerias is a great place to explore. Fun market, great beachside restaurants. Stop in on your way to Sayulita. While in Sayulita check out Playa Los Muertos. Cool and quiet beach and a bit of an adventure getting there. Stop into La Cruz on your way back to PV. Go to Tacos on the Street. Very simple menu. Packed in the evenings. Truly amazing rib eye tacos.
I will be there in a month. Cant wait!

Puerto Vallarta: A Coastal Paradise You Shouldn't Miss!

Puerto Vallarta, a vibrant city nestled along the Pacific coast of Mexico, is a destination that promises an unforgettable experience for first-time visitors. With its stunning beaches, rich culture, delectable cuisine, and endless activities, it's no wonder this gem of the Bahía de Banderas has captured the hearts of travelers worldwide.

Explore the Malecón

One of the must-visit attractions in Puerto Vallarta is the iconic Malecón, a scenic boardwalk stretching along the downtown waterfront. Here, you can stroll amidst stunning sculptures, enjoy breathtaking views of the bay, and immerse yourself in the lively atmosphere. Street performers, vendors, and local artists create a captivating ambiance, making the Malecón a true embodiment of Puerto Vallarta's spirit.

Soak Up the Sun on the Beaches

No trip to Puerto Vallarta would be complete without indulging in its magnificent beaches. Playa Los Muertos, located in the heart of the city, is a popular choice for its golden sands and lively atmosphere. For a more secluded experience, venture to the picturesque Playa Las Gemelas or the stunning Playa Mismaloya, where the iconic movie "The Night of the Iguana" was filmed.

Embark on an Adventure

Puerto Vallarta offers a wealth of adventure activities for thrill-seekers. From snorkeling and scuba diving in the crystal-clear waters to ziplining through lush tropical forests, there's no shortage of excitement. Adventurous souls can also explore the nearby Sierra Madre Mountains on a hiking or mountain biking excursion, taking in breathtaking vistas and immersing themselves in nature's beauty.

Savor the Flavors

Puerto Vallarta's culinary scene is a true delight for foodies. Indulge in fresh seafood caught daily, savor the rich flavors of traditional Mexican dishes like mole and tamales, or explore the vibrant street food scene. Don't miss the opportunity to attend a cooking class or take a food tour to truly immerse yourself in the local culinary traditions.

Embrace the Nightlife

As the sun sets, Puerto Vallarta comes alive with a lively nightlife scene. From lively bars and clubs pulsating with music to trendy rooftop lounges offering panoramic views, there's something for everyone. Sip on a refreshing margarita while enjoying live entertainment or dance the night away to the rhythms of salsa and mariachi music.

With its stunning natural beauty, rich cultural heritage, and endless opportunities for adventure and relaxation, Puerto Vallarta promises an unforgettable experience for first-time visitors. Embrace the warm hospitality, immerse yourself in the vibrant atmosphere, and create lasting memories in this coastal paradise.
