Full Sunset PV Boardwalk Walking Tour (Puerto Vallarta Mexico)

Walking along the Malecon (which some people call the “boardwalk”) is a feel-good area right on the oceanfront, and it’s a fast and easy way to really understand what PV, and even Mexico, is all about. The colors, the sounds, and aromas all take you under their spell, and you can end up just walking around for hours, enjoying a great breakfast, lunch, or dinner, eating and drinking here and there, grabbing souvenirs and shooting photos. Time will just fly by, as it always does when you are really enjoying yourself.

El Malecon (considered by many the best thing to do in Puerto Vallarta, Mexico) is now closed to vehicle traffic, so you can take a relaxing stroll along this sightseeing paradise walkway with great scenery, beautiful sculptures, and friendly people, without having to worry about taxis, cars, or buses (do take the bike path into account though).

This recent iteration of the classical Malecon features many more palm trees that provide much-needed shade during the midday hours (some palm trees on the beach too, a nice move), and decorative plants. All the spaces have been designed with pedestrians in mind, so there are lots of places you can rest (sit on the edges of the plant “pots”, the white “pillows” are made for that) and really take your time to enjoy and absorb the vibe. It is a beautiful walk along the beach in a downtown area that is full of new experiences and colorful opportunities to discover the culture, traditions, and lively side of Mexico and Mexicans.
