• The Spanish began calling it Banderas Valley in 1525, the
name used by the earliest culture which settled in the area.
It was renamed Las Peñas de Santa María Guadalupe after
Mexico´s Independence and shortened to Puerto Las Peñas
during the years of the silver mining boom in nearby San
Sebastián and Mascota. In 1918 it was named Puerto
Vallarta after Ignacio L. Vallarta, lawyer, jurist, and state
governor.
• Puerto Vallarta truly is a world class tourist destination. It was
named "World's Friendliest City” by Conde Nast in 2001, "Best
Place to Retire in the World" by the AARP (American
Association of Retired Persons) and "Best Holiday Destination
in Mexico" by USNews.com in 2010, “Most Romantic Place in
Mexico” and "Favorite Beach Destination in Mexico" by
About.com in 2012, and “Best Destination for Conventions" in
a convention marketing magazine and "Top 10 Destinations
in Mexico," on TripAdvisor.com in 2013.

Excursions

39. • City Tour
o The city tour takes you to some of the most beautiful historical places such
as the boardwalk and the main Church. You will also visit the city hall, flea
market, Los Arcos, a tequila factory and its downtown for shopping in
romantic or old Vallarta.
• Caletas
o Accessible only by sea, Las Caletas is surrounded by a steep, jungle-clad
mountain backdrop, making it a truly secluded tropical sanctuary. We
travel aboard our comfortable catamaran along Vallarta's coastline, a
tranquil one-hour ride. Upon arrival at Caletas, you choose between pure
relaxation, which easy to do in shaded hammocks strung between
towering palms or gentle exploration of the surrounding area. Tour also
offers a guided nature walk of our jungle and unique orchid gardens, as
well as kayaking and guided snorkeling tours.
• Canopy Tour
o Our canopy tour gives you the chance to see this amazing world. Guests
traverse from tree to tree, platform to platform using pulleys on horizontal
traverse cables, as they sail through the treetops of the forest canopy.
Expert guides assist you in this exciting journey.

40. • Horse Back Riding
o This tour begins at our ranch located at the base of the mountains. The paths are
filled with colorful vegetation, rivers of amazing shapes and sizes and a grand variety
of flowers and vegetables. Our first stop is at El Salto, one of four beautiful waterfalls
where you are welcome to jump into the refreshing crystalline waters or you can
enjoy a nice cold beer, bottled water or soft drinks. The trip proceeds through exotic
trails and finishes with a late Mexican style lunch which offers salsa and chips, a
succulent Mexican platter which includes chilies stuffed with cheese, cactus,
chicken in chocolate sauce (mole) and hand-made tortillas.
• Marietas Islands
o Puerto Vallarta provides just the right conditions for great snorkeling: warm, clear
waters, good weather and an amazing diversity of sea life. Our first class catamarans
carry you out to the shelter of the Marietas Islands, whose waters offer an ideal
ecosystem for a prolific diversity of sea life. Explore the rocky caverns and archways
by kayak, snorkeling or scuba diving. Keep an eye out for the giant manta rays, sea
turtles and an abundance of multi colored fish. Our professional guides are always
on hand to help, advise and ensure that you have fun. After you explore to your
heart's content, a relaxing afternoon siesta gives you the opportunity to kick back
and relax on the white sands of a beautiful, secluded beach. This tour offers a
wonderful opportunity to combine sun and fun while discovering the wonders of the
natural world that our Bay has to offer. Humpback whales are regularly sighted in the
bay from November to April. These magnificent mammals, some of the largest
creatures ever to have lived on Earth, can often be seen soaring out of the water or
swinging their enormous tails to and fro. Dolphin encounters are a regular, year
round occurrence. These friendly, lovable mammals like nothing more than to swim
alongside the boats, showing you their athletic prowess.

41. • Rhythm Of The Night Cruise
o A scenic sunset cruise across Banderas Bay takes you to the isolated cove of
Las Caletas, where flickering torches, gently lapping seas and swaying
palms set the mood for a mesmerizing Aztec mystic ceremony deep within
the tropical forest that will captivate your heart and leave you breathless.
The enticing aroma of grilled steak, chicken and fish lure you towards
secluded beachside tables bathed in the soft glow of candles where you
can also enjoy freshly prepared vegetables, salads, handmade tortillas and
their home grown coffee! You will savor every moment of this unique dining
experience as the ocean laps at your feet, palms sway overhead and your
waiter caters to your every whim. Highly recommended for couples.
• ATV Tour
o This off road adventure takes you to the untouched paradise of the
mountains which are filled with rivers and trails. This is a different way to
explore the unknown secrets of Puerto Vallarta!
• Dolphin Swim Experience
o The Dolphin Swim Experience starts with an interactive orientation by dolphin
experts, teaching you all about the dolphin's anatomy, physiology, and
unique characteristics. Learn special hand training signals and positive
reinforcement to communicate directly with these intelligent creatures,
giving you a unique insight into how these enigmatic mammals behave.
Take a ride across the pool from one of the dolphins. It's an experience you'll
never forget.

42. • Sunset Sailing
o Enjoy the view of the land, sea, and sunset on a luxurious sunset sail across Banderas
Bay. The sailboat is a luxurious French-made sailboat with comfortable, padded
deck seating and attentive staff. The boat ride includes an open bar with imported
wines, delicious appetizers with fresh cold cuts, various cheeses, and fresh fruits.
Relax and enjoy the views of the bay along with the sunset.
• Sea Safari
o The Sea Safari is a complete experience that combines adventure with the
opportunity to explore unspoiled tropical coves and places of extreme natural
beauty, all along the edge of the jungle on the south shore of Banderas Bay. Take an
exhilarating high-speed inflatable boat ride to the fishing village of Quimixto while
enjoying beautiful views of the Malecon along the way. Then, take a horseback ride
up to view an amazing waterfall. Spend the rest of the afternoon swimming, relaxing
on the beach of Pizota, and kayaking or snorkeling in the emerald-colored water of
la Bola. Included in the day tour is lunch and open bar at the beach.
• Outdoor Adventure
o If you are looking for an exciting eco-tour that is packed with challenges, adventure,
and most importantly, fun, this Outdoor Adventure is the right choice. Often called
the Treetop Canopy Tour's "big brother," this exciting eco-tour takes place in the
heart of the Sierra Madre, where you will learn a variety of wilderness techniques,
splash through streams, rappel through waterfalls into natural river pools, and soar
200 feet above the ground over the jungle foliage on a 1000 foot zip-line. The
beautiful scenery, spectacular sights, and incredible flora and fauna you'll see in this
sub-tropical forest makes the Outdoor Adventure the experience of a lifetime.
