Puerto Vallarta is a city of romance and history. It's an authentic, fairy tale-like fishing village with one-way cobblestone streets and white-washed houses with red tile roofs. The picturesque city is divided by the Cuale river, which surrounds a fanciful, five-acre island filled with quaint shops, cafes, gardens, and cultural attractions.

Puerto Vallarta is located on the largest natural bay in Mexico, with 100 miles of coastline surrounded by mountains, endless beaches and secluded coves. A perfect movie setting, Puerto Vallarta was truly discovered when it provided the spectacular scenery for the 1964 film, "Night of the Iguana," starring Richard Burton. Since then, visitors have found that the resort is old Mexico, with modern conveniences and a wealth of activities to satisfy anyone.

This is a sportsman's paradise, with all types of fishing, hunting, water-skiing, parasailing, jet skiing, scuba diving, snorkeling, cruising, horseback riding, golf, and tennis. Just for fun, you can even enjoy a rollicking donkey polo match.

Boaters and skin divers alike are also drawn to the fascinating rock formation of Los Arcos jutting out of the ocean.
