Top 10 Things to do Good for Big Groups in Puerto Vallarta, Mexico

April 29, 2022 Esmeralda Fenner

Strolling, shopping, and sipping tequila along the Malecon boardwalk of Puerto Vallarta is the best way to kick off your vacation. Then hit the cobblestone streets of Old Vallarta to browse the flea market for handmade crafts. The calm, warm waters of the Bay of Banderas make for excellent diving, or you can just watch artists sculpt spectacular creations in the sand. The cluster of fine art galleries in El Centro are perfect spots to hit on a self-guided art tour.

Steven’s show was incredibly entertaining. He sings and has a great voice, he tells stories which makes you really like him personally, he’s a great dancer, and of course, amazing pole dancer. I was very inspired by his confidence and talent.

We stayed at the Mayan Hotel in the marina which is on the Pacific Ocean beach. After a very short walk to the Marina, you will be very impressed with all of the gorgeous sail boats and yachts, as well as the restaurants and shops. The restaurants range from some at very low prices to other white tablecloth establishments with fine dining menus. Easy to spend a few hours in this area every day.

Plaza de Armas

This main hub of Puerto Vallarta features many shops, art galleries and a gazebo.

Reviewed By Paulshappy - Courtenay, Canada

The Plaza Principal is across the street from the waterfront Plaza del las Armas, and is an important stop for all tourists. First, the pavilion in the centre of this plaza is home to local musicians, so hopefully you'll catch some tunes. Second, the large 'municiple building' on the corner has a public washroom, free. Third, the east end of the plaza houses Our Lady of Guadaloupe Church, a beautiful iconic church with the 'crown' on her upper reach. Buy a cerzeza in the plaza at a local shop, sit a spell and watch, maybe a bite to eat from a street vendor? Just enjoy, take a picture, and breath in all in. Hola Paul

Reviewed By TerriMac13 - Prince George, Canada

My partner and I have been to PV several times, and the Romantic Zone is our favorite part of town: beautiful architecture, lots of great shops and restaurants, and authentic Mexican charm away from the touristy areas. If you want to see the real PV, visit the Romantic Zone!
