This one-time sleepy fishing village on the shores of Banderas Bay is certain to be a most memorable vacation spot. For those seeking action, Puerto Vallarta has it all, from a day on the links plying a challenging 18-hole championship golf course to another day aboard your charter boat, either watching the humpback whales wintering just offshore or dragging a line in the waters of one of the world's premiere big game sport fishing destinations.

Others will be invigorated with a morning stroll along the numerous beaches of Banderas Bay, with their spectacular rock formations, broken with intermittent snorkel trips into the water to explore the wonder of the colourful sea life just below its surface. PV, as it is referred to by locals, is synonymous with art and there is plenty to be found, whether at various local flea markets, tiny intimate shops or some of the finest galleries to be found on the Pacific. Visit the Saturday market at the downtown square, where local artisans display everything from fresh organic vegetables and herbs, freshly baked breads, cheeses, pastas, chutneys and salsas, beautiful tropical flowers, numerous crafts made locally, such as jewellery, clothing, sandals, all while listening to live entertainment. Visit the used bookstore across the street where they have a large selection of English books and a good cup of coffee.
