By the end of this walking tour, you'll feel confident navigating around Vallarta and have a good understanding of the city's layout.
First things first, when you visit this wonderful town come and enjoy a relaxed stroll along the Puerto Vallarta Malecon in the historic downtown area. It's a must-visit location that's lovely both day and night, plus it is also where most of the daytime and nighttime action takes place.
We will start at Our Lady of Guadalupe church, the most famous cathedral in Vallarta, and you will get to quickly tour this 100-year-old church. We will then walk through a small town square and on to the center of the Malecon
Walking along the Malecon - that some people call "boardwalk" - is a feel-good area right on the oceanfront and it's a fast and easy way to really understand what PV, and even Mexico, is all about. The colors, the sounds, and aromas, all take you under their spell and you can end up just walking around for hours, enjoying a great breakfast, lunch or dinner, eating and drinking here and there, grabbing souvenirs, shooting photos. Time will just fly by, as it does when you are really enjoying yourself.
"El Malecon" - considered by many the best thing to do in Puerto Vallarta Mexico - is now closed to vehicle traffic, so you can take a relaxing stroll along this sightseeing paradise walkway with great scenery, beautiful sculptures and friendly people, without having to worry about taxis, cars or buses (do take the bike path into account though).
The Romantic Zone in Puerto Vallarta is a must-visit destination. This lively and colorful area is popular among tourists, expats, and locals for its relaxed atmosphere and plethora of amenities. You'll be delighted to find a high concentration of restaurants and bars here, making it the perfect spot to grab a bite or sip a margarita.
The area is bustling with activity and brimming with Mexican charm. As you wander around the Romantic Zone, don't forget to explore the many shops that dot the streets. (You’ll see Pride Flags everywhere!) Whether you're in the market for swimwear, Talavera pottery, jewelry, or just a cup of coffee, there's something for everyone.
