Meaning "place of divers", Bucerias is a small coastal village with some great flea markets and cheap, but delicious food options. It has a more low-key local vibe than Sayulita or Puerto Vallarta with lots of local artists and restaurants. We know of a great local jeweler here that has lots of beautiful & very unique silver pieces - let him know we sent you and he'll be sure to offer you some great deals!
Puerto Vallarta is a large, historic city attracting many tourists throughout the year. It offers a blend of colonial-era charm and modern Latin American flair, with a thriving LGBTQ community, dynamic cultural and culinary offerings, and abundant natural beauty. Take a stroll along the Malecón, a 12-block pedestrian esplanade on the edge of the Pacific, which features a series of stunning bronze sculptures. Lots of markets, people watching, & restaurants!
