A few tips for

Child Entry

Check with your
country's State
Department for
regulations on
traveling with

Puerto Vallarta.
If traveling with
children that are
not your own,
notarized
documentation is
usually required.
Hotels and Children:
Check
with your hotel or
resort for their
child-friendly
offerings- many
offer daycare, or
babysitters upon
request, and some
offer special
playgrounds and
kiddy
pools.
Puerto Vallarta

overseeing activities for
children during the

chairs.

is a company in
Puerto Vallarta that
rents child
