Your next winter vacation in Puerto Vallarta

December is here, and the holiday season has arrived: a time for sharing and spending cherished moments among your loved ones. 2020 has been a year full of challenges without a doubt, and most of us are looking forward to a fresh start, spending time with the family, and enjoying the outdoors.

We can’t, and that’s why we want to share with you some of the activities that can make your winter vacation in Puerto Vallarta an exceptional and memorable journey.
 

Whale-watching season!

From December to March, these beautiful and majestic cetaceans visit the coasts of Puerto Vallarta to give birth to their young and mate. During these months you can admire them, as playful calves and impressive mothers leap from the waters and flop back with a powerful crash, giving an incredible spectacle, with water spouting through its blowholes.
 
They are so friendly that they will come to greet you during your ride, laid out by the skilled guides and biologists that accompany you, which will also teach you about the humpback whale habits and fun facts.


Swimming with wild dolphins
