Touring the Historic Heart of Puerto Vallarta

This touring will cover much of the historic tourist zone from the Stadium down to Conchas Chinas beach area.  This includes many areas of 5 Decembre, El Centro, Gringo Gulch, Emiliano Zapata, Romantic Zone, Alta Vista, Conchas Chinas, the Malecon, Cemetery, the Mirador, several parks, and three traditional mercados.  It is a long trip but we walk it at a very casual pace and stop often to chat about what we see or experience.  

We will stop for lunch at a local family's Mexican restaurant (not included) and relax for up to an hour before continuing to walk.  

Restroom opportunities are endless and most cost 10 peso.  Stores and Tiendas are everywhere.  

We will conclude the tour at around 3:00 PM possibility in Conchas Chinas or the Romantic Zone.

By the end of the tour, you will feel like a seasoned visitor or temporary resident to PV after receiving so much information about the daily lives of people in the areas off the typical tourist areas.

ESSENTIALS

• Walking difficulty: Intermediate - long walk with some dirt paths, broken and cracked sidewalks with often changing elevations and hills and stairs - taking the stairs to the Mirador makes this adventure "Difficult" - but you can choose to sit in a cafe and relax and skip the Mirador.
