nce a quiet fishing village, Puerto Valletta was “discovered” by director John Houston, who filmed “Night of the Iguana” along the city streets. When Richard Burton and Elizabeth Taylor decided to make a home there, the jet set took notice.

oday, Puerto Vallarta is a lively, cosmopolitan resort that gracefully combines its past and present. Cobblestone streets and stucco houses rest above the Bahia de Banderas, and lavish resorts stretch up and down 25 miles of beaches. Pick your pleasure – water sports, golf or horseback riding along the beach and into the surrounding jungle – you’ll find it all in Puerto Vallarta. Or, just soak in the lazy ambiance of the gracious seaside promenade. Accommodations center around five zones. The Southern Area offers peaceful seclusion and beaches backed by palms and cliffs, while Downtown puts you in the heart of dining, shopping and the colonial charm of Old Vallarta. To the north, the Hotel Strip offers wide sandy beaches; Marina Vallarta has championship golf, tennis, shopping and a world-class marina; and Nuevo Vallarta presents a self-contained paradise.
