What Makes Vallarta unique

The Magic of Vallarta

Puerto Vallarta has a magic that calls visitors back time and time again. It’s not just the astounding natural beauty or the unique Old World ambience – it’s also the people of Vallarta. While exploring the streets of Old Town, you will feel the special charm of a small town in Mexico – but with the expanse of the dazzling Bay of Banderas at your feet cradled by the majestic backdrop of jungle covered mountains overhead.



Architectural Integrity

Puerto Vallarta is unique in its architecture. The founding city fathers wanted to maintain the Old World charm of this quaint Mexican village by setting standards for building codes. In more recent history, new big city developers have attempted to bring a more contemporary “high rise” look to Vallarta’s profile, but locals and repeat visitors prefer Puerto Vallarta’s more traditional architectural style; low density structures that use lots of organic materials and are integrated into the surrounding landscape.

This “true” Vallarta style is found in the winding cobblestone streets of Old Town, lined with Ficus and Banyan trees, white stucco houses, old hacienda style doors, antique wrought iron windows, pitched red tile roofs, stairs that climb up pedestrian-only streets and hidden alleyways – an enchanting setting not found in many resort towns. Combined with the lush vegetation, the surrounding tropical rain forest and dramatic Sierra Madre mountains, the scenery is absolutely breathtaking. Around every corner is a perfect photo op.

Sunset…our favorite pastime

Puerto Vallarta is famous for its unique quality of light. Sunsets are a daily event in the lives of Vallartenses. The flaming orange ball drops into the flat horizon of the Pacific Ocean creating an effect unlike any you have ever seen. Be sure to watch for the “Green Flash”!

The tropical atmosphere diffuses an almost surreal hue from the setting sun, reflecting off the white stucco buildings, bathing the town in pink and gold. The result is simply awe inspiring. Many movies have been filmed here because of this unique quality of light, found especially at the “golden hour” of sunset….
