Puerto Vallarta won’t have any available gravesites available by the year’s end

In Puerto Vallarta, there are only a few dozen spaces to bury the remains of Vallartans, so it is estimated that by the beginning of next year there would be no availability in local cemeteries.

According to data from the Civil Registry of Puerto Vallarta, in 2021 and from January to September 2022, more than 3,100 people have died in the city, of which the vast majority have been put to rest in city cemeteries.

For this reason, the municipal government is seeking to acquire land to create a new pantheon, as confirmed by Mayor Luis Alberto Michel Rodríguez, who explained that after the search, they have already found land located on the road that leads to Las Palmas.

“There are several pieces of land, but we finally found one because of El Zancudo, which is on the highway, which is flat land. We went to see others along the Ixtapa highway, but they were six hectares of flat land and four hectares of hills, so it really doesn’t work there. We went to see another one behind the CUC and it really is also pure hills”, he detailed.

The cost of the property in question, of which the mayor did not give further details, ranges between $60 and $70 million pesos, since among the other offers observed, the price was higher.

The mayor stressed that the land seems to him “very nice, because everything is very flat and it is there 10 meters from what is the road to Las Palmas”, he pointed out.
