| Puerto Vallarta, or PV for short, is located on the western coast of Mexico in the heart of Banderas Bay, one of the largest bays in the world |
| The Malecon, a boardwalk of sorts, is the center of activites. Many restaurants line the Malecon as well artisans working on and displaying their arts and crafts. |
| Some of the best views of Puerto Vallarta are offered from the hillsides surrounding PV, such as this one from the Sr. Chicos Restaurant at dusk. |
