From the downtown
Church of Guadalupe to quaint villages along the coastline,
there’s something to please all clients interests.
MARINA VALLARTA in contrast to
the quaint, cobblestone downtown, development of the
ultra modern Marina Vallarta began in the 1970s and
is still expanding. It’s a glistening labyrinth
of some of the town’s best resort hotels and restaurants.
Marina Vallarta, the largest in México, has 455
boat slips that can hold yachts up to 120 ft. long,
an excellent 18-hole golf course, and private homes,
villas, condominiums and timeshare units - most overlooking
the water - an American school, a tennis and beach club
and a few art galleries, restaurants, boutiques and
even a "lighthouse" with a fabulous panoramic
view. The cruise ships dock just south of Marina Vallarta
at the commercial port. This is also where the bay cruises
and day-cruise boats depart.
ISLA DEL RIO CUALE is the five-acre
island that snakes from the mouth of the Cuale River
and divides the city. The western end of the islet faces
the blue Pacific. The eastern end offers views of the
canyons bordering the river corridor and the mountains
in the background. A picturesque red brick bridge crosses
the river, with sweeping staircases give visitors access
to the island. The island contains quaint clothing and
arts boutiques, several fine restaurants. There’s
a spacious children’s playground on the eastern
end.

museum with an excellent collection of archaeological
artifacts from pre-Hispanic tombs in the states of Jalisco,
Colima and Nayarit. Open Tuesday trough Sunday, admission
is free.
LOS ARCOS Located just off Playa
Mismaloya is an underwater marine nature preserve comprised
of several small islands which offer amazing snorkeling,
impressive reefs, deep tunnels, caves and arches with
abundant marine life.
YELAPA About a two hour sail from
Puerto Vallarta, this Picturesque cove of beautiful
white sand is surrounded by mountains. One of Puerto
Vallarta’s most popular day trips. Perfect for
swimming, snorkeling, parachute gliding, and relaxing
with a drink in a hammock. This Polynesian.style village
features casual beach-style restaurants under thatched
roofs where visitors can enjoy delicious freshly caught
red snapper. (Be sure to wear jeans or a bathing suit
with a cover-up and tennis shoes.) A 20-minute hike
or 30-minute horseback ride brings adventurers to a
sparkling 150 - footwaterfall, where visitors usually
enjoy a dip in the cool pool at the waterfall’s
base. The quaint village is a great place to purchase
handicrafts and unique designer clothing. The small
hotel and the local yacht club doubles as a lively disco
at night.
