- Parish of Our Lady of Guadalupe
The parish church of Our Lady of Guadalupe in the historic center of Vallarta is a symbol of the city, not only for its historical significance, but because its beauty dominates the panorama of the city.
It is located one block from the Plaza de Armas and two blocks from the Malecon – you can’t miss it! Remember to follow the rules and show respect when visiting this magnificent church.
- The Romantic Zone (Viejo Vallarta)
Viejo Vallarta is located south of the Cuale River; it is also known as Zona Romantica (romantic zone) and it is one of the most distinctive areas of Puerto Vallarta. This area has a more traditional layout, where you will find countless shops, cafés, restaurants, and small hotels and inns.
This area is a favorite for people trying to experience the real Mexico, explore its narrow roads and enjoy everything Puerto Vallarta has to offer.
- Playa Los Muertos
Playa Los Muertos is the most popular beach in Puerto Vallarta, and is within walking distance from the Malecon and the romantic zone.
In Playa Los Muertos, you will find a wide array of bars and restaurants, offering the local specialty, seafood. Most of the businesses in the area have a view where you can enjoy a cold drink while looking around at all the vendors on the beach, people parasailing, swimming or children playing.
- Isla Rio Cuale
Right in the center of Vallarta, between the romantic area and the historic center is the Cuale River, a park among large trees and dense vegetation with colorful businesses such as restaurants, cafes, and small shops and stalls selling souvenirs, clothing, ornaments, and jewelry, amongst others.
