Overview

This walking tour will cover many areas of the hidden Historic Heart of Puerta Vallarta. During the easy 3 hour walk, we will visit many historic neighborhoods and explore hidden staircases, paths, and hidden gardens. We will visit a cemetery, and two very Mexican traditional shopping pavilions where families shop for meats, fish, vegatables - also learn all about Tortillas at a small family factory. We will also visit the Malecon for a few blocks and walk to the lookout high above the Historic Heart of Puerto Vallarta - in season see whales! In general the guide will take you to the less visited non touristy areas of the historic district of old Town of Vallarta.
