​Dubbed "The Friendliest City in the World" by Travel + Leisure magazine, Puerto Vallarta combines authentic Mexican warmth and natural beauty with contemporary resorts and outdoor activities that draw more international visitors each year than any part of Mexico besides Cancun.

• Puerto Vallarta offers amazing weather year round due to its Mexican Pacific location - 77-89 degrees F (25-32 C) in the summer and 62-81 F (17-27 C) in the winter.
• Twenty carriers now offer excellent air service to PVR from the United States, Canada, and other countries.
• Your clients will enjoy jaw-dropping views, from the Sierra Madre Mountains in the background to 100-plus miles of shoreline along the Bay of Banderas. And, given the bay's protected layout, Puerto Vallarta rarely suffers from seaweed piling on its beaches and avoids hurricane threats routinely (the last one struck in 2002).
• They can relax in world-class resorts along the coast or in Puerto Vallarta's historic hotel areas (including Dreams, Fiesta Americana, Four Seasons, Grand Velas, Hard Rock, Hilton, Hyatt, Iberostar, Marival, RIU, St. Regis, Secrets, and Westin properties).
• They can enjoy the beaches by their resorts or more than 40 named beaches in the region. Or, they can play outdoors - scuba diving and snorkeling, golfing, fishing, touring the botanical garden or the nearby jungle, and ziplining!
• Beyond the outdoors, they can stroll the city's 11-block Malecon (seaside walkway) and explore the Old Town district's cafes and shops.
• Puerto Vallarta is Mexico's most LGBTQ-friendly city.
• Beyond Puerto Vallarta, your clients can head to the 192-mile Riviera Nayarit shoreline, the Nuevo Vallarta resort area, laid-back coastal towns (Sayulita, Bucerias), colonial mountain villages (San Sebastian, El Tuito), and the exclusive Punta Mita resort community.
