Things To Do
Puerto Vallarta Malecon
The Puerto Vallarta Malecon is a kilometer-long boardwalk running along the coast of central Puerto Vallarta. Playa Los Arcos Hotel is located right at Los Muertos Beach Pier, the beginning of the malecon. Here, you can find countless shops, restaurants, art exhibits, churches, cultural sites, and entertainment to keep your time here fun and exciting. Not to mention the beautiful views of the ocean!
Mercado Municipal Rio Cuale
The Mercado Municipal Rio Cuale is the place for all things souvenirs and local fares. This is our go-to place for getting gifts for our friends and family. They have a bit of everything here at great prices. The Mercado Municipal Rio Cuale is located just off the Malecon, you can access it via a set of stairs near the bridge to the Romantic Zone.
Las Caletas
We fell in love with Las Caletas beach the moment we stepped foot on the dock! Whether you want to check out the day tour and explore all Las Caletas has to offer, or join the night tour for the famous Rhythms of the Night show, you're sure to have a fantastic time!
Mirador de la Cruz
Mirador de la Cruz, aka "Lookout on Cross Hill" is a popular scenic viewpoint and tourist attraction in Puerto Vallarta. A climb up some steep steps leads to panoramic views at the top of this contemporary, open-work tower. Life hack: We've heard you can uber to the base of the stairs, then hike your way up!
Parroquia de Nuestra Señora de Guadalupe
The Church of Our Lady of Guadalupe, known locally as the "Iglesia de Nuestra Señora de Guadalupe," is a Catholic church in Puerto Vallarta. It's located two blocks off the Malecon near Plaza Principal de Las Armas, about a 15 minute walk from Playa Los Arcos Hotel. The first mass and official opening date was on October 12, 1921.
