Puerto Vallarta in One Day

It’s hard to imagine spending only one day in Puerto Vallarta – there is just too much to see and do in this lively resort city. It’s so much better to grow acquainted with the city over a week or two from the comfort of a luxury villa rental Puerto Vallarta. Still, if a day is all you have, here are some ideas for making the most of it.

• Walk along the Malecón. This boardwalk of sorts marks a boundary between the action on the Paseo Diaz Ordaz and the water in Banderas Bay. It’s an outdoor art gallery that features sculpture by artists from around the world. It’s a place to see and be seen – everyone walks the Malecón. And it’s a storefront for street vendors selling toys, treasures and food.


• Visit Casa Kimberly, the love nest that Richard Burton bestowed on his squeeze (and wife) Elizabeth Taylor. That little footbridge overhead made it possible for Mr. Burton to return, or retreat, to his own casa without stepping into the street. You may not be able to see inside (rumor is the place is being redone); still, you’ll get a glimpse at how the shining stars from another era spent their free time.


• Visit a few of the galleries and shops to find a take-away with a local flair. Among the most popular purchases are Mexican silver (look for the stamp “925” and “Mex” to ensure it’s authentic); hand-blown Mexican glass (bubbles and confetti make each piece special); and Mexican pottery (Mata Ortiz creations are especially popular with collectors). Galeria Vallarta at Juarez 263 is a good place to start your quest.


• Meet the iguanas on the Isla Rio Cuale. These are the original green fellows. They hang out in sunny spots and tree tops on the east end of the island. They don’t say much, so they make good companions if you’re looking for a quiet moment in the shade before you head back to the flea market at the west end of the island.

It’s a pretty good bet that once you get your feet on the ground and start enjoying the things that Puerto Vallarta has to offer, you’ll discover that one day isn’t anywhere near long enough for a visit to this city. In fact, you’ll probably be inclined to start looking for a luxury villa rental Puerto Vallarta so you can spend your next holiday growing thoroughly acquainted with the town.
