Puerto Vallarta is the more traditional side of Mexico with its mountain scenery this really is a beautiful resort to visit. The resort it self has two main city beaches which are really amazing with their golden beaches and crystal clear waters. With its unique jungle like mountains Puerto Vallarta is the perfect island for phototogrphers.

This island is famous for the Cathedral of Guadalupe which a must see! There are a lot of excursions that you can participate in such as, swimming with the dolphins or scuba diving with the giant manta rays. If you’re into films then you’ll love the jungle paradise called ‘Eden’ as that is where Arnold Schwarzenegger’s film ‘Predator’ was filmed.

Puerto Vallarta can offer you a great selection of restaurants and a bar that sell some delicious dishes such as the famous taco, which is a tortilla bread served with either chicken, lobster or beef and is topped of with a spicy salsa sauce. Or if you don’t fancy anything to eat then why not try a margarita cocktail or if you dare why not try a local tequila!

If you’re more in to shopping then Puerto Vallarta can offer a range of shops from typical western stores to small boutiques in the street. If you’re looking for something to take back with you for a souvenir then you can find several gifts such as hand painted ceramics, silver, colorful rugs even Mexican hammocks.

If you’re looking for the best time of the year then it would be June through to November as the temperature rises just over 32 C, but if you want something a bit cooler then December through to May are the better months for you.
