Explore Puerto Vallarta

Nestled on the shore of Jalisco’s Banderas Bay, Puerto Vallarta offers a world of adventure and enjoyment beyond its accolades as a popular resort city destination. There’s so much to do, you may not know what to try first when you deplane at Licenciado Gustavo Diaz Ordaz International Airport. You may choose to hit the beach immediately—the Banderas Bay coastline is home to several Blue Flag-certified beaches. Instead of the beach, you may be more interested in something a bit more cultural. A leisurely stroll through the El Malecón outdoor art installation provides both fun in the sun and immersion into the local arts scene.

Lovers of flora and fauna have plenty of opportunities to commune with nature during their Puerto Vallarta visit. Adventurers may opt for a canopy tour or an exhilarating zip line run through the treetops. Those who prefer exploring nature from the water can spend a day visiting the El Salado Estuary. A diverse ecosystem surrounded by a thriving urban center, El Salado visitors may see over 100 species of birds, a wide range of reptiles and amphibians, and stately swamp mangrove trees.
