We recommend these five things to do in Puerto Vallarta, Mexico:

1. Visit the historic center. Take a long walk with your family, or partner, along the malecon, look at the many sculptures, sand castles and sand sculptures created almost every day by local artists, view the Huichol figures formed with small stones, and take a break on many of the benches and resting spots along the malecon and just enjoy a nice breeze and fresh air. Along the malecon and its side streets are numerous restaurants, cafes, bars, and nightclubs.

2. Marina . . .
