Puerto Vallarta has a charming downtown area. Designed in typical Mexican fashion, downtown is centered around the zocalo, or main square. You can gather here in the evenings to have a drink and watch couples stroll by.

Jungle Tours
Many visitors to Puerto Vallarta like to take a day to explore the surrounding jungle, which is filled with interesting wildlife, including monkeys and many kinds of brilliantly colored birds. Tours can be easily arranged. A popular trip is a visit to "Chico's Paradise," an open air restaurant in the jungle with striking views of a nearby waterfall.

Guadalajara City
From Puerto Vallarta, you can easily arrange for a day trip to Guadalajara City.

Los Arcos

"The Arches" are among Vallarta's most scenic attractions. Lying a few hundred yards off shore, they are massive rock formations rising up out of the sea. The area around the arches is also the best spot to snorkel and scuba dive.
