"Puerto Vallarta - Mexico's Pacific... " a Puerto Vallarta Travel Page by ScubaCat

Yes, there are a lot of similarities between Cancun and Puerto Vallarta. Such as the resort lined beach's, the night clubs that you can party all night in, the shop till you drop and the vendor's panhandling their wares on the beach. But that's where the similarities end. Puerto Vallarta's beach's are beige sand, not the fine white sand you find in Cancun & forget about the turqoise water, you won't find it here. What you will find though is a beautiful town, that although it has been undulated with tourism has managed to retain some of it's old world charm, set against a beautiful backdrop of hills. The cobblestone streets, the statutes along the malecon and the romantic river. An area famous for romantic restaurants and late evening walks with your significant other.
