Real Mexico, with a view.
Puerto Vallarta wraps around Banderas Bay, one of the largest bays in Mexico, with the green Sierra Madre mountains rising behind whitewashed buildings and red-tile roofs. It has all the beauty of a resort town with the soul of a real Mexican city.
Stroll the seaside malecón past bronze sculptures at sunset, sail to hidden beaches reachable only by boat, watch humpback whales in winter and wander the colorful surf town of Sayulita, a short drive up the coast.
