Puerto Vallarta is located in the state of Jalisco, the land of the Mariachi, a traditional Mexican music.
Tequila, our national drink, comes from the blue agave cactus, a native plant of our state. Puerto Vallarta has been a source of inspiration for great artists and has an important cinematography tradition. Our locations have been the stage for films such as "The Night of the Iguana", "Terminator", "The Revenge", etc. Art is everywhere; along the "Malecon" (boardwalk) with its sculptures in the plazas and the galleries presenting contemporary Mexican Art.
In the Mexican Fiestas, we live the experience of our music, colourful folklore, cuisine and regional beverage in a collage of fun and enjoyment. Puerto Vallarta is a multifaceted mosaic of color.
Charm is the very essence of the character and personality of the people from Vallarta; people who greet you with their kind smile; people who take pleasure in providing good service to our visitors.
