Who could have imagined that the small fishing village, peacefully moored at the mouth of the Rio Cuale, would become one of the most fashionable seaside resorts on Mexico’s Pacific coast. Puerto Vallarta enjoys an ideal climate all year round, and has lost none of its picturesque charm. It is also the largest bay in Mexico, with 40 km of beaches and heavenly nooks. Los Muertos is without doubt the most popular; south of Puerto Vallarta you will find other superb beaches, smaller but much more peaceful, like Las Amapas and Conchas Chinas. Between its luxuriously forested mountains, tropical flora, and the incredible richness of its underwater plant and animal life, Puerta Vallarta is the ideal destination for combining learning the Spanish language with a stay on the Pacific coast, with its sunshine and parties.
