Puerto Vallarta is undoubtedly one of the most significant cities in terms of tourism in the Mexican Republic. This is because it is one of the places with the most beautiful beaches surrounded by views of the Sierra Madre. In addition to this, it is a culinary delight since, in this city of Jalisco, you will find several restaurants with renowned chefs.

If you want to know about some of the must-see tours and guided visits, here are some ideas.

What to do in Puerto Vallarta?

• Tour around the city and its beaches: Spend just half a day exploring the city with its famous tours. Get to know the main monuments and attractions of Puerto Vallarta! Accompanied by an expert guide, discover sites such as the Parish of Our Lady of Guadalupe, where you will be able to admire one of the oldest brick constructions. You will also walk along the boardwalk that has a spectacular view of the waters of Banderas Bay and an endless number of places to buy handicrafts. Don't be surprised if your tour also includes a visit to tequila factories since you will be in the land that is a leader in the production of this traditional Mexican drink. Another aspect to consider when booking your tour is to check if lunch and transfer from your hotel are included. We suggest that you ensure these added or inclusive services for your convenience and to ensure you have a carefree day.

A visit to one of the beaches is a must since Puerto Vallarta boasts some of the best beaches in the country. We recommend you visit Playa La Gemelas if you want to relax without much chaos or noise. Or, if you prefer a more lively atmosphere, you will have to look for a tour that includes a boat transfer to get to Yelapa, one of the most visited areas by tourists.

• Romantic tour for a photoshoot: Puerto Vallarta is considered one of the favourite destinations to spend a honeymoon or celebrate an anniversary because it offers the most romantic sunsets by the sea. We invite you to book a romantic tour complete with a photoshoot where a professional guide will lead you to different beaches, and the photographer will capture your special moments. This will be an activity you will cherish with your partner and remember fondly for years to come. This activity usually lasts from 1 to 2 hours depending on your budget.

• Visits and workshops of Jalisco's gastronomy: Treat your palate on your visit here and take one of the many gastronomic tours that you can find. A piece of advice we can give you is to ensure that the guide who will accompany you is a local. This is because a local guide knows the place inside out and knows precisely where you can get a real taste of the flavours of Jalisco. This kind of tour usually includes tastings and a drink or two, in a duration of 3 to 4 hours.

On the other hand, if you like interactive experiences, you can also take a mixology workshop and learn how to prepare some famous tequila-based cocktails. However, if you are a beer lover, we have good news for you. Puerto Vallarta has some artisanal brands, so you can also find guided tours to some breweries.

• Visit the Botanical Garden and Macaw and Butterfly Sanctuary: if you are enthusiastic about ecotourism tours, you will love this one. In the company of botanical experts, you will visit this natural paradise located south of the bay. This type of tour lasts a little more than 5 hours, as you will be able to attend different workshops and see colourful macaws. Food and even tequila tasting are included!

Visiting one of the jewels of Jalisco, such as Puerto Vallarta is an excellent opportunity to get to know a lot about the Mexican culture, the warmth of the people and the paradises of its different natural sceneries.

You will enjoy the best views of the Pacific waters from Banderas Bay and fall in love with the sunsets and the colourful atmosphere wherever you walk. We are convinced that once you set foot in Puerto Vallarta, you won't want to leave.
