Puerto Vallarta, Jalisco
México

Vallarta is in the tropics, on the Pacific Ocean side of Mexico, tucked into a mountainous coastal area.  We're located on one of the largest, deepest, and most stunning natural bays in the world, Bahia de Bandaras, which supports almost any form of water recreation imaginable.  Aside from whales and dolphins, the wind and waves are great here for sailing, surfing and boarding.  

In Puerto Vallarta the air is clean, the sun shines without rain almost all winter long, and the sunsets - well, they're as spectacular as you could possibly ask for.

“Whale watching is not only an interactive way to approach the world of whales and dolphins, it also brings out a greater understanding about the perfection of nature.”
