Have you heard that Puerto Vallarta is located on Mexico’s Pacific coast, and it is a favorite beach town for many visitors? There, visitors fall in love with the miles of breathtaking beaches, unlimited water activities, and the nightlife scene is fun, too. For tourism, the high season is during the winter months, but the summer months are also a great time  to visit Puerto Vallarta. The flights to Puerto Vallarta are affordable during the summer months, and there is less traffic and smaller crowds at the beach. In addition, the months of June through October are the rainy season, and many people love watching the lighting and thunderstorms over Banderas Bay. The summer months provide less waves and clearer water, which is perfect for snorkeling and scuba diving in Puerto Vallarta. Below, we have created fun and exciting outdoor activities you can enjoy in PV this summer. Read below to learn more.

Skydiving in PV

Hiking the Mirador de la Cruz

Next, are you wanting to stay active on your PV visit? If so, then you can go on the Cerro de La Cruz Mirador hike that starts off at the iconic Malecon Boardwalk. You will walk inwards for several blocks, then you will reach the long Mirador’s stairs.
