Boca de Tomatlan is the gateway to all of Puerto Vallarta's virgin beaches. These amazing beaches are not accessible by car, so you go to Boca to catch the water taxi or charter a small Panga boat to take you an a day trip snorkeling and to all these amazing beaches. Highly recommended!! You will not be disappointed.

The farthest beach to access but one of the most precious gems. It is only accessible by boat or hiking through the mountains. There is a beautiful waterfall that you can hike to and some great beachside restaurants (Domingos Restaurante is good). This is actually a small town so you will find a variety of activities and shop even lodging is available.

Qué meter en la valija
Bring comfortable shoes
Vallarta is known for its cobblestone streets which look lovely but can be tricky to walk on. I recommend comfortable shoes like tenis or sandals that have a back to them.
Qué meter en la valija
Bring a Hat
Bring a hat or purchase one here. Very necessary as the sun can get very hot .
