Attractions and tips

Puerto Vallarta rests along the Pacific Ocean’s Bahia de Banderas, or Bay of Flags, and is a popular destination year-round. When visiting this resort paradise, spend time on the beaches of Bahia de Banderas first.

You’ll quickly notice Los Arcos, the row of arches that line the entrance to Plaza Moralos, an oceanfront square that is part of Bahia de Banderas. The Church of Our Lady of Guadalupe is another must-see attraction, and you will hear its bells chime throughout the city.

While, the best way to get from Puerto Vallarta Ordaz airport to your hotel is by taxi or combi bus, you’ll be charged based on travel zones and will need to pay the fee before entering the vehicle. Keep in mind, that airport taxis charge higher rates than regular taxis, so you may want to walk across the highway and flag down a regular taxi.
