The Puerto Vallarta Convention Center will once again host a congress during the month of April, after a year of suspension of activities due to the coronavirus pandemic. 

It is a "chocolaty" pigmentation of the water, in what used to be called the "Enchanted Lagoon."

Starting in July of this year, tourists will be able to take one-day excursions in boats to the island.

With the conclusion of the Easter and Holy Week vacation season in Puerto Vallarta this Sunday, in general terms the effects were positive for the local tourism industry. 

The state has the lowest rates recorded during the pandemic.

Large amounts of investment are channeled to this destination due to market dynamics.

Puerto Vallarta continues to be part of a select list as one of the municipalities in Mexico that produce the greatest wealth from tourism. In spite of the effects left by the pandemic throughout the country, tourist activity is rebounding and it is expected that in this first semester the bases for an accelerated recovery in the summer and particularly in the winter will continue to be laid, with a high season in full swing. The list released by the Federal Ministry of Tourism indicates the destinations that, according to the methodology of Mexico's Tourism Regionalization Model, generate the most resources from the arrival of domestic and foreign visitors. 

The list is the result of a statistical processing of the so-called Economic Census, that is to say, the Tourism Satellite Account, among other measuring instruments of the organizations Iegi, Coneval, Sedatu, Conapo and Pnud. Puerto Vallarta, ranked fifth on the list, stands out for leading the recovery of the country's tourist destinations, according to indications such as the increase in the number of flights, hotel occupancy, the reopening of tourist services, and the consolidation of segments such as family and leisure, and above all the implementation of biosecurity measures that generate confidence in travelers. With more than 200 hotel establishments of all categories, more than 22,000 hotel rooms, an abundance of gastronomic variety, and more than a hundred tourist activities to be carried out outdoors, Puerto Vallarta leads in the attraction of visitors in the Mexican Pacific.

I've lived in Puerto Vallarta for nearly 5 years and to me, the resilience and determination of the Mexican people has been nothing short of inspiring.

You just got your new puppy a few days ago, and you’re itching to take the little guy out and show him off around the neighborhood. No big deal, right? You just need to get a leash and a collar and head out the door with him in tow. Not so fast.

The cameras of the production company Redrum Films were able to capture beautiful images of the historical center as well as the Puerto Vallarta boardwalk. 

Foreigners arrived early in the morning wearing green costumes, wigs, hats, necklaces and ties alluding to this festival.

"Teach me about the goddess Xtabay (esh-ta-bay)."

There is a thing. A thing called a Nagual. It is an Indian tribe, but it is also a witch doctor. A brujo.

I just got back from spending a month on Mexico's Yucatan Peninsula. It was a great trip and I found myself delving into some interesting things while I was there.

 Normally in Puerto Vallarta April is the “last” month of the year where you are still blissfully ignorant that summer is coming. But the last week or so we’ve seen much warmer and longer days.

It’s been a weird “off season” for fishing, but it looks like things are returning to what we would think of as “normal conditions” for winter fishing.

Normally at this time of the year we’re in a “loop”. It’s not summer fishing so we’re not going to see Dorado or most of the warm water species.

Bahia de Banderas guarantees the observation of these impressive marine cetaceans in abundant numbers this time of the year.

This weeks report is much like the last report, it’s winter fishing. Yes folks it’s all about the colder water, massive Whale food baits, smaller gamefish and the possibility of a Striped Marlin or Yellowfin Tuna!

Puerto Vallarta is OPEN, and along with all the other fun things that we can do here such as water activities, parasailing, horseback riding, zip lining, or a trip to the zoo, now you can also ice skate on real ice right on the beach. 

Excellent weekend for Puerto Vallarta with the arrival of more North American and Canadian tourists who will celebrate the new year here.

Covid-19 disease is a respiratory infection caused by the SARS-CoV-2 virus; however, this does not mean that other symptoms, such as unusual diarrhea, cannot occur. That is why it is important to pay attention to any discomfort and not to self-medicate to not interfere with the treatment that is really required.

Covid-19 infections, hospitalizations, and deaths decrease. 

This time, vaccines are only distributed through the federal government and it is not known how long they will be available to individuals.

Today I would like to show you how to get an instant confidence boost in less than a minute? I know that’s a pretty brash claim, but I can prove it to you.

After making my last post on Vallarta Today, I omitted my background, thinking that readers could get it from my previous article. That didn’t happen, so I’ve decided to share it here. Once you read this, you will discover where I come from and what gives me the authority to write about mind control.

When people around the world think of Puerto Vallarta, without a doubt, they close their eyes and see a real “Pueblo Magico”. Cobblestone streets, beautify beaches, smiles everywhere from the inhabitants of the friendliest city in the world and in the center of the painting, a beautiful church with a crown framing the wonderful scenery.
