Remote tropical getaway, Puerto Vallarta is the best-known resort on Mexico's upper Pacific Coast because of its palm-studded jungles that sweep down to meet the deep blue of the Pacific Ocean. Modern hotels, easy air access, traditional Mexican architecture, gold-sand beaches, and a growing array of activities and adventure tourism attractions have transformed Puerto Vallarta into one of Mexico's premier resort areas.

Puerto Vallarta also boasts great restaurants, a thriving arts community, an active nightlife, and a growing variety of ecotourism attractions.
