On past cruises we have enjoyed many of Puerto Vallarta's beautiful sights.Taxi cabs are readily available at the dock. At the gangway there are newer cabs and vans. As you get to the street area there are many older yellow colored taxis. Establish a price before you commit to a cab ride! It has been our experience that most of the drivers speak English. Do a little research before you arrive and have a planned itinerary. On the last visit we visited the Malecon and photographed some of the many public sculptures. A few blocks away there is the beautiful Cathedral of Our Lady of Guadalupe.

On this visit, at the advice of our limo drive, we decided to visit the "Old Town" area. At first when we arrived there was a bit of disappointment because the street where we were dropped off did not seem attractive. A trip down a sidewalk revealed the beach area with lots of restaurants and fun activities. Some of the hotels offer day passes that allow you to use their pools and beach front. In any case there is an abundance of restaurants ranging from street carts to fancy sit down. Jet skis, parasailing and killer beach watching await you!

Have a great time but allow time to return to the ship or you might get left behind!
