Two Coasts of Mexico

Mexico evokes certain images
when mentioned as a vacation
destination, but when the topic
of conversation is Puerto
Vallarta, it becomes necessary
to expand simply because the
city has so much to offer. This
isn't a run of the mill getaway
spot where cerveza and
sunbathing are the main draws;
Puerto Vallarta is rich with
culture, art, and adventure
along with the typical
relaxation aides mentioned
above, meaning a trip here will
contain all you could ask for in
a tropical beach getaway.
Puerto Vallarta (doesn't the
name alone rev you up just a
little bit?) is located on the
Pacific coast of Mexico on what
is know as the Mexican Riviera.
Near the center of the expansive
country, this destination enjoys
fine weather most of the year
and tends to attract a healthy
wintertime crowd in search of
relief from the snow and ice
that less fortunate parts of the
world are forced to endure.
Summers can be steamy and rainy
with high humidity and
temperatures in the 90's, while
the winter months range from 70
to 85 degrees. The sun shines
for nearly 300 days a year, so
chances are you'll be happy with
the conditions during your
visit.
History has seen Puerto Vallarta
evolve from a simple fishing
village to a fashionable spot
worthy of shooting a movie
starring Elizabeth Taylor, and
today it is not only a solid
choice for tourists looking to
kick back and have some fun, but
it has retained a singular
identity that sets it apart from
other resort towns. Wandering
around this town is a feast for
the mind as well as the eyes, so
prepare to be replenished in
more ways than one.
For example, an unmissable sight
is the
Malecon,
an eleven block stretch of
coastline that contains
sculptures, shops, bars and
people-watching opportunities.
After nourishing your creative
side, get your adrenaline
pumping by taking advantage of
one of the many sport-tastic
activities Puerto Vallarta
has to offer.
Cuisine-inclined folk, a.k.a.
food lovers, be aware that
Puerto Vallarta is noted to have
the best food in Mexico. Sushi
is a specialty and chefs from
all over the world call this
home, so expect to be wowed on
more than one occasion. Casual
to classy, cheap to luxurious,
the culinary atmosphere can best
be summed by one phrase: lot's
of choices.
Golf,
shopping,
nightlife,
festivals and
art galleries will
help to finish out your
itinerary; don't forget to save
some time for lounging,
swimming, floating and reading
as well. This is your time to
catch up on sleep, reconnect
with your significant other, and
forget about your
responsibilities. Do this by
whatever means necessary; in
Puerto Vallarta, it won't be a
challenge.
One more aspect of the trip that
will lend itself to the
successful execution of your
great escape will be your
lodging decision. To take things
to the limit, consider renting a
vacation condo or villa rather
than staying in a hotel.Pick a
romantic beach house for two
equipped with all that you'll
need to remain secluded for a
while, or choose a spacious
villa with enough bedrooms to
let the whole beautiful family
breathe and coexist peacefully.
