Puerto Vallarta: What to see in the surroundings?

What our travelers think about their stay

Bahia de Banderas, in the state of Jalisco, facing the Pacific ocean. It's also one of the major tourist spots on the west coast.

My suggestion

Puerto Vallarta is the seaside town of choice for Mexicans who are on holiday. It's essential to make a reservation during the holiday period or you will end up sleeping on the beach.
