Nuevo Vallarta – Area Attractions
Located in the impressive “Banderas Bay”, surrounded by a jungle landscape and framed by the majestic “Sierra Madre” mountains. Nuevo Vallarta seduces visitors from all over the world.
Explore neighboring “Puerto Vallarta”, a popular touristic destination where the past and present merge. It seems as if time stops while one walks along the cobblestone streets observing the picturesque houses. On the path towards the “Malecon” strip you can find genuine handcrafts and silver.
In addition, the Bay offers endless opportunities for deep-sea diving, snorkeling, swimming with dolphins and fishing. Boat rental is available for private use.
Walk on the soft sand of “Playa de los Muertos” and “Playa del Sol” shores. Movie fans will recognize the famous “Mismaloya” beach as the place where “The Night of the Iguana” was filmed.
Nature presents its own show from december through march when the humpbacked and gray whales make their journey to these warm waters for delivering their litters. The “bird sanctuary” in the “Marietas Islands” is also famous where divers are amazed with the awesome hidden beauty in the deep crystalline waters. That is why Jacques Cousteau described it as a natural reserve.
The Grand Mayan’s concierge will gladly assist you with your reservations and necessary arrangements for your touristic tours.
