Puerto Vallarta is a popular beach resort city situated on the Pacific Ocean’s the Bahia de Banderas. It is in the northwest corner of the state of Jalisco and it is known as Mexico’s largest natural bay. Puerto Vallarta is not only one of the most popular beach resort area but an important port of call for cruise ships as well. It is named after Ignacio Vallarta, a former governor of Jalisco. Do not get confused by different naming the place, since some often shorten to “Vallarta”, while English speakers call it P.V. Puerto Vallarta is popular with both international and domestic tourists. Domestic tourists especially like to come to Puerto Vallarta for vacations such as Semana Santa and Christmas. The place boasts about clubs, hotels, shops and bars. But Puerto Vallarta was not always so popular, it own its popularity to the film “Night of the Iguana”, whose plot is taking place in Puerto Vallarta. Thanks to that, Puerto Vallarta soon becomes a gathering place for celebrities and their entourage. Despite the urbanization, town still maintains its charm and the bay its natural beauty. And today it is the lush tropical climate and the white sandy beaches that attract the tourists.
Bahía de Banderas has a horse-shoe shape and covers 60 miles of coastline, from Punta Mita to Cabo Corrientes. The entire area is known as Vallarta, although it is divided between two states, Jalisco and Nayarit. The funny thing is that these two states are in the different time zone. If you ever get the opportunity to come to Puerto Vallarta you should not spend your days only at the beach and in the clubs, there are many activities and day trips that can make your stay here even better. Stroll along the Malecon to see the collection of sculptures by day and in the evenings there are often buskers here entertaining passers-by. Go on a boat trip to the Islas Marietas or shop for handicrafts.
