Puerto Vallarta Vacation Packages

Puerto Vallarta vacation packages have, over the years, managed to still deliver on its raw Mexican charm. Even though it’s the second most visited destination after Cancun, it has managed to retain much of its local feel. This defiance of commercialism has made it the popular place that it still is today. 

Its roots are evident in the charming cobblestone streets, fine cuisine and various sites, whilst visitors can also enjoy the lovely beaches and warm ocean waters to make their dream holiday a reality. 

So let’s start planning a Puerto Vallarta vacation package. Situated on the western pacific coast of Mexico, the easiest way to get to Puerto Vallarta is by plane. The international airport is located slightly north of the city, known as Gustavo Diaz Ordaz International Airport. Once you arrived you’ll find it’s easy to navigate around the city by a rented car, taxi or bus.

A Puerto Vallarta vacation package is best structured in a way that you can enjoy all the benefits of this seaside resort and also taking time for some sightseeing and excursions.  

Puerto Vallarta offers some of the best diving and snorkelling sites in Mexico. Sailing is also top of the list for many tourists as you can go with a group or even charter a private boat. The resorts also offer all the traditional watersports which is great fun and can be mixed up with loads of beachside cocktails! 

Then there are the sights and excursions which adds that little magical extra to your time of relaxation. Here are a few to consider:  

Sierra Madre    Sierra Madre is basically a mountain range in Mexico which extends into parts of the USA. A great excursion is to take a Jeep safari into this outback to explore the beauty and wonder of ‘Old Mexico’. These safaris will give you the opportunity to explore the villages, jungles and indigenous wildlife in a way you never though possible.

Vallarta Botanical Gardens 

The gardens are an accessible 12 miles south of the city and an obvious inclusion in your Puerto Vallarta vacation package. Constructed on 20 acres of land, the botanical gardens have in excess of 3,000 various species of plants and are set with the awe-inspiring backdrop of the Sierra Madre mountain range. Apart from the lovely gardens, you can also enjoy a succulent lunch at the local Hacienda de Oro Restaurant while you’re surrounded by stunning sights and sounds of nature.     

Banderas Bay     Second only after Hudson Bay, Banderas Bay is the second largest bay in North America. Although not a site (or attraction) in the strictest sense of the word, it is worthwhile arranging transportation and driving around the horseshoe shaped bay. You’ll find all sorts of interesting things along the way as you explore this huge coastline.

Sea Life Park by Dolphin Discovery 

Swim with the dolphins and have all sorts of fun on the water rides in this lovely water park. This is fun for the whole family and a great idea to spend one of the days on your Puerto Vallarta vacation package.  

These are just a mere fraction of the things you can do in Puerto Vallarta. It’s a diverse location that has many on offer. No wonder people come from all over the world to experience all that Mexico has to offer in Puerto Vallarta.
