FAQ
Frequently asked questions
Yes, in practice. Nuevo Vallarta sits in the state of Nayarit, which mostly runs an hour behind Jalisco, but the whole municipality of Bahía de Banderas (Nuevo Vallarta, Bucerías, La Cruz, Punta Mita, and further north Sayulita and San Pancho) uses Central Time to stay in step with Puerto Vallarta and the airport.
Nuevo Vallarta is just north of the airport, across the Ameca River, so it is closer to the airport than downtown Puerto Vallarta is. Travel time to downtown depends a lot on traffic along the main highway.
