The Seahorse is a two and a half-meter tall bronze sculpture depicts a boy riding a seahorse, waving in a friendly gesture.
This famous sculpture created by Rafael Zamarripa located in the middle of the Malecon in El Centro.
It has become the symbol of Puerto Vallarta as it represents the happiness, joy and friendship Vallartenses wish for visitors and newcomers.
It is probably the most photographed of all the sculptures in Vallarta and its likeness is used on almost all publicity related to the city.

I saw the same thing while wading near Riu Jalisco. Needless to say I quickly retreated from the water, and wonder the same thing! It swam right around my ankles. My husband noticed it also.
possession of small amounts of several drugs including marijuana, for personal use, are now legal in mexico - i believe it's up to 5 grams. just enacted and signed this month.
This church looks amazingly beautiful. I really want to see it in person. I'm putting Our Lady in my novel so I'm researching.
Hi, question for you. As an older female traveling solo, is it safe to take taxis to downtown and elsewhere? Thank you so much. m
Can you walk to malecon from the cruise ship dock?
I saw this artist. I also bought a few pieces. I got one that was about 8x10 and a couple smaller pieces . Does anyone know the name of the artist? I cant really read the signature on the painting i bought. and i never asked him for his name.
Big deal ! I find snakes in my backyard.
Hi Jamie. My friend has been to PV & keeps on raving about the place. Looking at your pages, I guess she's not exaggerating! She's German, I'm German, but she wasn't quite that naked... haha! Superb tips here. Greetings from Dubai :-) Jess
I'm so glad to read that someone really appreciates the wonder Puerto Vallarta is... glad you liked it so much, it's a MARVELOUS place! Cheers!
I have read both good and bad things about Puerto Vallarta. Your page is very funny and there are some great pics. One question..did the iguana scratch your sore nipples? LOL.
