Featuring an incredible abundance of friendly people, beautiful natural scenery, high quality sports fishing and great food, Puerto Vallarta also has some of the world's most beautiful sunsets, great sailing, diving and other water sports, shopping opportunities and excellent resorts. The area stretches around the Bay of Flags, or Bahia de Banderas, and is backed by lush mountains covered in beautiful palms. This is one of the best places you could choose for a truly cosmopolitan holiday.

There's all kinds of outdoor recreation available, from snorkeling and diving to swimming and trips to see the bay's marine mammals - the dolphins and other whales. You'll see old pueblo architecture mixed with the newest beach resorts, and a fantastic mix of the new and the old. There are crowds everywhere, but secluded places to spend a little time relaxing aren't hard to find. That's why a visit to Puerto Vallarta is such a great choice.
