In this Mexican beach paradise, tradition and international style fuse to create a spirited and sophisticated culture.
The vibrant colors of traditional Mexican dress can only be rivaled by the intricate beadwork of the Huichol Indians. Puerto Vallarta may be new to you, but the Huichols have long enjoyed its beautiful beaches and lush rainforests.
Stroll through the centuries on cobblestone streets with the air sweet from the music of old Mexico. Mariachi originated here in Jalisco, as did Tequila. Each helps ensure that Mexican nightlife is never dull.
Plan your visit around the array of festivals that celebrate all aspects of this vibrant culture from international cuisine to art to film to fishing.
