Things To Do in Puerto Vallarta

Did you know that the winter season is actually considered the high season for tourism? During the winter, there are tons of things to do in PV. For example, annual farmer’s markets are held around the bay including Saturday mornings in Old Town at Lazaro Cardenas Park, Thursday evenings in the Marina, and Sunday mornings at the La Cruz marina. These farmers markets are only held from November through April. There, they sell tons of great goods including delicious foods, locally made handicrafts, jewelry, clothes, and more. Art walks are also held during winter including the PV art walk on Wednesday evenings in downtown PV, or the Bucerias Art walk on Thursday evenings. The galleries are located within walking distance so visitors can enjoy an evening stroll as they admire talented works from local and international artists. Make sure to visit the Malecon boardwalk and PV pier, too.

 

Humpback Whales Arrive to PV

Another one of the best things to do if you spend the winter holidays in Puerto Vallarta is to go whale watching. Every year from December to March, humpback whales migrate down to Banderas Bay to escape the cold waters of the Arctic ocean up north. The whales make the 12,500-mile round trip journey to Banderas Bay where they can find more krill and small fish to feed on. The whales swim both day and night to reach the bay averaging 80 miles per day. Once in Banderas Bay, the humpback whales mate and give birth to their young in the safe and protected waters of Banderas Bay. If you visit PV during the winter holidays, definitely book a whale watching tour. Everyone in the family will love the magical experience of seeing these majestic creatures up close as they breach and play in the Bay.
