Puerto Vallarta
Overview
Puerto Vallarta lies on the Pacific coast of the state of Jalisco, approximately 125 miles (200 kms) directly west of Guadalajara. With a population of 166,000, Puerto Vallarta has many amenities, but is hardly a metropolis. The city’s adobe homes, tiled roofs, and the white sand beaches ringing the Bahía de Banderas to the north and south assure visitors of the place’s tranquil security. Puerto Vallarta is sometimes thought of as the gateway to tropical southern Mexico. The Bahía de Banderas forms almost a perfect semi-circle, with Puerto Vallarta at its apex. Glancing inland, the mountains leading to the Central Highlands of Mexico are plainly visible providing a dramatic backdrop to this thrilling oceanfront town.
The Puerta Vallarta real estate market still offers terrific bargains. Those buying homes in Puerta Vallarta will find some of the most serene settings in Mexico for relaxing and really living.
