Puerto Vallarta, Jalisco, Mexico
MX- Vallarta
Puerto Vallarta is a Mexican resort city situated on the Pacific coast within the state of Jalisco. It lies on Bahía de Banderas, a large bay that serves as a safe harbor for maritime traffic. The city functions as the government seat of the municipality of Puerto Vallarta, which extends from Boca de Tomatlán to the Nayarit border along the Ameca River. Geographically, it rests on a narrow coastal plain at the foot of the Sierras Cuale and San Sebastián, parts of the Sierra Madre Occidental.
The area has evidence of continuous human habitation dating back to 580 BC, with links to the Aztlán culture. The modern village was officially founded on December 12, 1851, by Guadalupe Sánchez Torres and others, initially named Las Peñas de Santa María de Guadalupe. Development accelerated in the 1860s to support local industry, and the city's tourism industry launched in the early 1960s following the filming of The Night of the Iguana nearby.
The city proper comprises four main areas: the hotel zone to the north, the Centro district along the shore, Olas Altas to the south, and residential zones to the east. The historic Zona Romantica retains character with boutique hotels and dining. Notable landmarks include the Malecon boardwalk, the church of Our Lady of Guadalupe, and a statue of director John Huston. The surrounding bay is home to humpback whales, sea turtles, and dolphins.
Puerto Vallarta has gained a reputation for enthusiastically welcoming LGBT tourism, with an annual Pride festival held in May. The Zona Romantica area features many establishments catering to gay tourists. Visitors are drawn by the beautiful beaches, lush jungles, and sparkling waterfalls. The bay offers opportunities for snorkeling, scuba diving, and sport fishing due to its rich aquatic life and proximity to the Marietas Islands.
The city had a population of 224,166 as of 2020. It is the second largest urban agglomeration in Jalisco after Guadalajara. The Mexican government invested significantly in infrastructure, including Gustavo Diaz Ordaz International Airport and the El Salado wharf, inaugurated in 1970. The climate is tropical wet and dry, with average daily highs of 86 °F and a rainy season from mid-June through mid-October.
