6. DESTINATION
Vallarta
The beauty of this destination can be appreciated from the air as a small colonial city surrounded by tropical vegetation and nestled in the Bahía de Banderas, the biggest bay in Mexico and the second largest in North America. Puerto Vallarta seems to climb up from the blue waters of the Pacific Ocean towards the Sierra Madre’s jade-green mountains that evoke really deep emotions. The city center includes the main courtyard and the emblematic tower of the Church of Guadalupe and her filigree crown. You’ll feel the magic of Puerto Vallarta that no other beach destination can offer. It brings together the essence and warmth of an old colonial Mexican town with the luxury and high technology of a modern tourist destination.
Punta de Mita
Punta de Mita is where the most amazing fantasies about the Tropics’ mysticism and beauty do come true. It’s located about 45 minutes northeast from Puerto Vallarta in an exotic setting that has been created thanks to the natural formations of volcanic rocks that covered this area of the bay. Long extensions of fine sand beaches and spectacular clear-blue waters surround Punta de Mita. Punta de Mita is considered one of the best places to practice deep sea fishing, snorkeling and surfing. Punta de Mita features world-class restaurants where you can indulge your palate as well as your sight because many of them offer outstanding views of the bay or dinner under the star-filled skies.

Scuba Diving Trips: For beginners and certified divers. Pro and amateur divers can enjoy the great marine life that inhabits the clear warm waters of the Bahía de Banderas and Mexican Pacific Ocean.
