You may be asking yourself: where is PV? Why should I visit? Where should I stay? Is Puerto Vallarta Safe? What is there to see? Click and find the answers.
Puerto Vallarta is a very special tourist destination, unlike prefab destinations like Cancun or Los Cabos. PV grew organically from being a small fishing town on the west coast of the State of Jalisco into a full-fledged world-class tourist destination.
This was part luck and also lots of local effort and promotion. It also helped a lot that Puerto Vallarta is just naturally beautiful, with green jungle hills, clear sandy beaches, clear emerald-blue waters, spectacular sunsets, and lots of other natural and cultural delights.
