Flanked by jungle-covered slopes and fronted by the Bay of Banderas, colorful Puerto Vallarta – PV to the locals – has a romantic past (Night of the Iguana by Tennessee Williams was filmed here) and a reputation as one of Mexico’s most fabled resort towns.
Because this enchanting colonial town fronting beautiful Pacific Coast beaches is an easy and affordable escape.
