Malecon Boardwalk

The Puerto Vallarta Boardwalk, known as the Malecón, is a vibrant, scenic waterfront promenade full of life and local culture. It stretches along the Pacific coast with stunning ocean views on one side and an array of art, restaurants, shops, and local vendors on the other. The boardwalk is lined with unique sculptures, street performers, and traditional Mexican artwork, making it a fantastic stop to experience Vallarta’s local flair. Highlights include the iconic El Caballito (seahorse statue), the colorful Los Arcos amphitheater, and plenty of spots to grab a refreshing drink or souvenir. Strolling here, visitors can soak up the sunset, enjoy fresh seafood, and immerse themselves in Vallarta’s coastal charm.

Los Arcos de Mismaloya

The Los Arcos de Mismaloya viewpoint offers breathtaking views of one of Puerto Vallarta’s most iconic natural landmarks. Located along the coastline, this spot provides an ideal vantage point to admire the striking rock formations emerging from the sea, known as Los Arcos. These giant granite islands are famous for their unique arches, clear blue waters, and thriving marine life, making them popular for snorkeling and diving. From the viewpoint, visitors can take in panoramic ocean views, spot tropical birds, and marvel at the vivid colors of the Pacific. It’s a picturesque stop that captures the natural beauty of the Vallarta coast and is perfect for memorable photos.

During your Vallarta Roots tour, we’ll make a special stop at the charming Isla Cuale Market, nestled right in the heart of Puerto Vallarta. This local gem is perfect for browsing authentic Mexican crafts and unique souvenirs. You’ll find handcrafted jewelry, vibrant textiles, and traditional art pieces, ideal for capturing the spirit of Puerto Vallarta. As part of the experience, we’ll also stop for a tasting of local Mexican candies. From sweet to spicy, these treats offer a true taste of Mexico’s traditional flavors.

Zona Romantica

we’ll explore the vibrant Zona Romántica, one of Puerto Vallarta’s most colorful and lively neighborhoods. Known for its cobblestone streets, bohemian vibe, and welcoming atmosphere, this area is filled with eclectic shops, cozy cafes, and local art galleries. Our tour will include a stop at Parque Lázaro Cárdenas, a beautiful community space known for its vibrant mosaic artwork covering benches, planters, and pathways. Created by local artists and volunteers, these mosaics tell stories of Mexican culture and bring the park to life. Here, you’ll have a chance to snap some photos, take a relaxing walk, and immerse yourself in the creativity and warmth of Puerto Vallarta’s local spirit.

Mirador Conchas Chinas

we’ll stop at the breathtaking Conchas Chinas Viewpoint, a hidden gem offering some of the most stunning panoramic views of Puerto Vallarta’s coastline. Nestled along the cliffs, this viewpoint showcases the sparkling blue waters of Banderas Bay against lush tropical hillsides. From here, you can capture incredible photos of the rugged coastlines, rocky coves, and hidden beaches that make Conchas Chinas so special.
