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.

Cool Puerto Vallarta wants to make your searches as relevant as possible. That's why we offer many ways to help you find the right experiences for you.

On some pages, you can select how to sort the results we display and also use filter options to see only those search results that meet your chosen preferences. You'll see explanations of what those sort options mean when you select them.

If you see a Badge of Excellence label, the award is based on average review ratings, share of bookings with a review, and number of bookings through Cool Puerto Vallarta over a 12-month period.

The importance of any one factor over any other in a sort order varies, and the balance is constantly being reviewed and adjusted. We're always updating our systems and testing new ways to refine and improve your results to make them as relevant as possible to meet your needs.
