2025 Puerto Vallarta Travel Guide: Must-see attractions, popular food, hotels, transportation routes (updated in March)

Beautiful views, great food, lots lots and lots of art work/statues to see on the Malecón. Definitely recommend using Uber when down there. Taxis loves to over price and just not worth it when Uber app is exists. Definitely be ready to eat and sweat, the humidity is no joke. The degrees might look nice but very deceiving, humidity was at 80% in march. Dress light, no need for sweaters or heels, lots of stairs and cobble stones to walk on

Wildlife Connection 📍Paseo de la Marina Sur #214, Marina Vallarta, Puerto Vallarta, Jalisco, Mexico, C.P. 48300 Right across from our hotel, there’s an excursion center where my friend booked a dolphin-swimming experience online through Wildlife Connection, and it was absolutely amazing! For the first time, I swam in the open sea without any barriers, and these huge dolphins swam and played alongside us, which was so much fun. After our trip out to sea, we headed over to a landmark on the Puerto Vallarta Marina featuring a dolphin sculpture where tourists can take photos, especially beautiful at sunset. It was such a memorable experience, and the seaside view at dusk was breathtaking.

2024 New Store Launch! Secluded Hotel Under the Snowy Mountains, Reaching its Peak at Opening. The snowy mountains, beyond the universe, are the ultimate ideal for mankind and the final destination for all travelers. The azure and silver-white evoke a longing for purity and the imagination of distant existences. Beneath the summer's Mount Meri, streams babble everywhere, and the high mountain rhododendrons shine like bright patterns on Tibetan tapestries, while forest sprites dart through the woods, Sketching out a primal wild beauty. After 3 years, as spring departs and winter arrives, in the sacred magnetic field of Mianzimu, Wild Talk once again stretches out new branches - 'Wild Talk Deer Valley' opens its doors. Crossing over ridges and rushing streams, arriving at Yubeng to face the wilderness, to converse with the soul. Deer Valley has 12 guest rooms, Each room features a panoramic window facing the peaks of Mount Meri, the Goddess Peak, and the Five Crown Peaks. Lying in bed, from the morning's golden sunlight on the mountain to the blue twilight descending on the temple's golden dome, it seems peaceful and mysterious with the arrival of summer. You will see green spreading through the valley until it fills your vision and occupies your heart with a fresh, glistening green. The emerald hue also climbs up the skirts of the snowy mountains, And above the clouds are the intermittently visible snow peaks. In the early morning or after the rain, the entire village is shrouded in a hidden forest amidst the rain mist, which seems to have also taken on a green hue. The deep and shallow greens are the meadows under the mountain where herds of cattle and horses graze, the streams that flow through the forest, The thick blanket formed by leaves and moss, The pine moss on the ancient tree branches weaves into dense curtains. As night falls, sitting by the window, warming by the fireplace and gazing at the snowy mountains, the valley stands silent. The starry sky is more vast and more profound than we can imagine. Chaotic yet orderly, mixed yet pure, dazzling yet lonely

Imagine waking up to this view or having dinner while overlooking as the sun set beyond the horizon! 😍😍 It was a nice weekend getaway from a stressful week of work. Takes me away from all that and let me unwind and appreciate the beauty in life. I didn't do much in #puertovallarta but just stayed indoor, relax, go out for dinner, and relax some more. Coming back in the future!

#freehotelstay Never met a sunset or taco I didn’t like 😜 #mexico

I indeed had a great time in Puerto Vallarta Mexico withy sister.#beachlife #foodie #mytripvlog #awesomepic #2023travelwish #mexico #puertovallarta #travel

Puerto Vallarta's street is so easy to stroll around!! There are many restaurants and small bars along the way, with many unique sculptures. Together with the blue sky, sea, sunshine, and colorful old houses, the Latin American style is fully displayed! In Mexico, of course, every day is Margarita and Corona 🍺!!

Endless beautiful views. The statues are amazing, the church is breathtaking. Soooo many shops and souvenirs to look and buy. Your camera roll will be filled with great pictures. Agua frescas are so refreshing, definitely recommend. If you have children, going during the day is best, it’s super rowdy at night with club goers. #puertovallarta #beachlife #Malecon #beautifulsunsets

Churro lovers, GO HERE. Such a dainty hole in the wall place. Great spot to take a rest and have a coffee or dessert! Went twice during the four days we spent down there. The owner is super friendly, all around great customer service. Definitely go here!#Churro #coffee #puertovallarta

Tacos Revolución in Puerto Vallarta is the place to go! You will not leave hungry! The owner is super super nice and welcoming. The staff is very kind. The salsa is accommodating for all, they have different levels of spice. The nachos were unbelievable. I wish I could eat those everyday!

Puerto Vallarta!!! Beautiful Views from Beach Restaurant!!! Recommended for Solo, Family or Couples who’s likes to party atmosphere all day long for it’s a party town all year long. It has it’s rainy seasons so do some research before you head out there so plan your trip. It has great street foods but be careful since you can get sick such getting a major stomach cramp and diarrhea since the food might not be all that clean after all; so recommended to travel with some medications. This city offers great medical services for low cost so you can visit any clinics seven days is week without an appointment if you have any medical issues.
