POST TWO Puerto Vallarta


It is a beautiful city in the Mexican ocean pacific coast and is the third most important port in Mexico.

The town was founded of December 12 in 1851 by Guadalupe Sanchez Torres, who called it like “Las Peñas”, but the current name is in honor to Ignacio Vallarta, who was a governor of Jalisco.

In Spanish, Puerto Vallarta is often shortened to "Vallarta", while English speakers call the city P.V. for short.

Puerto Vallarta's climate is typical with a marked dry season in the winter. The high temperature and variations in humidity can make July through September nearly intolerable.

Puerto Vallarta was once named as The Friendliest City in the World, as the sign reads when entering from Nayarit. Today, the presence of numerous sidewalk sellers has done the city's atmosphere like Cancun and Acapulco, but overall the city's reputation remains relatively undiminished.

The Malecon in PV, is also called like “Rompeolas”, it is a walker of approximately a kilometer of distance. It is considered like the most important monument in Vallarta, also is very famous for the variety of artistic manifestations where we found a numerous community of artists, painters, musicians, actors, mimes, dancers, etc. The Malecon is considered like a obligatory place that you need to visit.

Some of the most famous beaches are Gemelas’s beach, Muertos’s beach Conchas Chinas’s beach. Boca de tomates’s beach and Garza Blanca’s beach.
