Puerto Vallarta Travel Agent Planner

The Spanish language has a way of making places, such as Puerto Vallarta, sound festive and happy. And that is how you will feel once you land in this popular vacation enclave. Located along the Pacific coast of Mexico, Puerto Vallarta sits in the state of Jalisco.  Known for its beaches and water sports, Puerto Vallarta also boasts a cobble-stoned historical center, which is home to the Senora de Guadalupe church and several fine eateries and bars. El Malecon (a seaside boardwalk) is also a popular hub - known for its displays of modern sculptures, nightclubs, and bars.  When you think of Mexico, you often think of tacos. However, Puerto Vallarta will make you think of them in a whole new way. That is because they are offered in various forms. For example, you will find the options almost endless, as the offerings include tacos al pastor (served with marinated pork) or tacos de marlin (a burrito with smoked marlin and shrimp - yum!). You can also eat tacos de birria, which is a corn tortilla filled with braised meat or goat stew. While you may not think of goat stew as tasty, you will find out otherwise. Whether you are sampling the cuisine, engaging in water sports, or visiting a historical building, Puerto Vallarta always offers an adventure. One of the adventures waiting for you is Puerto Vallarta's Mirador de la Cruz. A good time to go to this overlook is just before the sun sets. The combination hill and stair climb leads to a cross at the top. Don't worry about getting tired, as there are plenty of benches along the way. If you wish to stay on ground level, I might recommend Puerto Vallarta's Botanical Gardens. Take a bus from the main part of town and enjoy the scenic ride along the way. On your bus trip, you will see amazing views of the Los Arcos Nature Reserve and the bay. Once you get to the gardens, you will be greeted by Mexican flora, including orchids and cacti and many old trees. Hiking trails wind through the site that lead to a river - a perfect place for swimming on a warm  and humid day. As your travel agent and advisor for Puerto Vallarta, I can help you plan a wonderful vacation to this exclusive resort destination. Give me a call or email me today and let's plan a one-of-a-kind itinerary!

Weekend in Baja California
I contacted Valentina to book a weekend in Baja California for a friend . The truth is I tried to book it myself and then figured out, it was not that easy! Not only Valentina helped me find an amazing location for my friend, but she took care of canceling and correcting what I had done on my own even if she did not have to do it! She went above and beyond to accommodate and help me!

Great Wedding Gift
Valentina booked for me a weekend in Valle de Guadalupe Mexico. She picked the best property and our room was amazing. She also made sure the hotel knew we were newly weds and arranged a bottle of wine in the room for us upon arrival. I did not know where to look in this location so she was really helpful in finding the best place for me and my wife.
