Discover the historic area of Puerta Vallerta, with its colonial architecture, cobblestone streets, art galleries, and boutique shops. Visit the iconic Our Lady of Guadalupe Church, which is considered to be the heart of the city.
Take a boat tour to the Marietas Islands, a beautiful ecological reserve with incredible marine life, scenic beaches, and a hidden beach inside a volcanic rock formation. Snorkel, kayak, and admire the colorful fauna and flora of the Pacific Ocean.
Explore the stunning beauty of the Puerto Vallarta Botanical Gardens, home to over 3000 species of plants, animals, and birds. Get lost in the tropical forest, stroll through the orchid and agave gardens, and relax by the river that runs through it.
If you have more time, you can include a visit to the Malecon Boardwalk, a great place to walk, watch street performers, and enjoy the ocean view. You can also take a tequila tasting tour or explore the Zona Romantica, a charming old part of town with cafes, restaurants, and art galleries.
If you have less time, you can skip the Puerto Vallarta Botanical Gardens or reduce the time spent at Our Lady of Guadalupe Church. Alternatively, you can combine the historic center and the Malecon Boardwalk into one day. Make sure to check the opening and closing times of each location before planning your itinerary.
