What to Do in Puerto Vallarta

Aside from glistening gold-embellished cathedrals and stunning sunsets off the famous Puerto Vallarta Malecon boardwalk, Puerto Vallarta is filled with attractions and sightseeing opportunities. Allow us to recommend extended tours to nearby Mexican villages, or perhaps the famous estates joined by a bridge built by Elizabeth Taylor and Richard Burton.

Puerto Vallarta has much to offer so read on and plan your itinerary ahead of time!
