HOLA!
Puerto
Vallarta lies along Banderas
Bay, the second largest bay in the Western Hemisphere and it
is nestled in the foothills of the Sierra Madre mountain
range. The region has many forests, rivers and waterfalls
Puerto Vallarta is an authentic
Mexican village bustling with all its original Colonial
charm. The ring of church bells drifts on the fresh sea air
as fishermen mend their nets dockside. Visitors meander
cobblestone streets blooming with flowers, sip cervezas on
cheerful riverside patios, and shop the Malecon seaside
promenade and local markets. The west coast bay setting is
spectacular.
The
impressive rock formations of Los Arcos emerge from the
bay's crystalline waters, which are great for diving and
discovering incredible underwater mountains and steeps. The
city hall has murals painted by Manuel Lepe,
and the Malecon (sea wall) is
adorned with romantic bronze sculptures. What’s more, the
streets of downtown offer shops and galleries that sell
local paintings and sculptures of local artists. The city,
known for its top-notch services, also has golf courses,
boutiques and a marina, comprising of sail boats and yachts. |
