My wife and I have have a timeshare in Puerto
Vallarta and go there often. It is a pristine setting. I can see why
Burton, Taylor and Huston fell in love with this place. The town is
spread along a highway that circumvents the Bay of Banderas (Bahia de
Banderas) which is the 7th largest bay in the world and the 2nd deepest
in the world. The cliffs at the south end of the beach drop straight down
to 4,200 ft and the panorama creates spectacular photos. Imagine a horseshoe
that opens up to a sheltered bay and had 4,000 ft mountains behind it.
Seabreezes are fairly constant. Wonderful daily temperatures. Averages 73
degrees in January and 88 degrees in August. The high season for tourism
is from November to April. And do the snow-birds go there! Have met lots
of Canadians and Europeans. The food and water is great. The people are
so friendly that you absolutely don't want to leave. (they have not developed
an attitude like the people at other Mexican resorts). I don't know of the
proper word to describe Vallarta other than "quaint". The population is 300,000
and that's small compared to Guadalajara which is 8,000,000 and 4 hours by
toll-way. I have many pictures but only published a few. If you would like to
see more, I would be glad to share them with you. If you have a timeshare and would
like to trade a week with us in another tropical setting like Hawaii or
Bahamas, please let us know. Costa Rica is highly desirable.
Enjoy the pictures and if you need additional information such as good
eating places or the best tour guides (Pacific Travel's
Martha L.Gonzalez Plazola ), please feel free to ask. We have done all the land
and water tours in the last 4 years and know them all. Vallarta is voluptuous and waits for you.
