by the earliest culture which settled in the area. It was renamed Las
PeĂąas de Santa MarĂa Guadalupe after Mexico´s Independence and

boom in nearby San SebastiĂĄn and Mascota. In 1918 it was named
Puerto Vallarta after Ignacio L. Vallarta, lawyer, jurist, and state
governor.

94. ⢠City Tour
â The city tour takes you to some of the most beautiful historical places
such as the boardwalk and the main Church. You will also visit the city
hall, flea market, Los Arcos, a tequila factory and its downtown for
shopping in romantic or old Vallarta.
⢠Caletas
â Accessible only by sea, Las Caletas is surrounded by a steep, jungle-clad
mountain backdrop, making it a truly secluded tropical sanctuary. We
travel aboard our comfortable catamaran along Vallarta's coastline, a
tranquil one-hour ride. Upon arrival at Caletas, you choose between
pure relaxation, which easy to do in shaded hammocks strung between
towering palms or gentle exploration of the surrounding area. Tour also
offers a guided nature walk of our jungle and unique orchid gardens, as
well as kayaking and guided snorkeling tours.
⢠Canopy Tour
â Our canopy tour gives you the chance to see this amazing world.
Guests traverse from tree to tree, platform to platform using pulleys on
horizontal traverse cables, as they sail through the treetops of the
forest canopy. Expert guides assist you in this exciting journey.
95. ⢠Horse Back Riding
â This tour begins at our ranch located at the base of the mountains. The paths are
filled with colorful vegetation, rivers of amazing shapes and sizes and a grand variety
of flowers and vegetables. Our first stop is at El Salto, one of four beautiful
waterfalls where you are welcome to jump into the refreshing crystalline waters or
you can enjoy a nice cold beer, bottled water or soft drinks. The trip proceeds
through exotic trails and finishes with a late Mexican style lunch which offers salsa
and chips, a succulent Mexican platter which includes chilies stuffed with cheese,
cactus, chicken in chocolate sauce (mole) and hand-made tortillas.
⢠Marietas Islands
â Puerto Vallarta provides just the right conditions for great snorkeling: warm, clear
waters, good weather and an amazing diversity of sea life. Our first class catamarans
carry you out to the shelter of the Marietas Islands, whose waters offer an ideal
ecosystem for a prolific diversity of sea life. Explore the rocky caverns and archways
by kayak, snorkeling or scuba diving. Keep an eye out for the giant manta rays, sea
turtles and an abundance of multi colored fish. Our professional guides are always
on hand to help, advise and ensure that you have fun. After you explore to your
heart's content, a relaxing afternoon siesta gives you the opportunity to kick back
and relax on the white sands of a beautiful, secluded beach. This tour offers a
wonderful opportunity to combine sun and fun while discovering the wonders of
the natural world that our Bay has to offer. Humpback whales are regularly sighted
in the bay from November to April. These magnificent mammals, some of the
largest creatures ever to have lived on Earth, can often be seen soaring out of the
water or swinging their enormous tails to and fro. Dolphin encounters are a regular,
year round occurrence. These friendly, lovable mammals like nothing more than to
swim alongside the boats, showing you their athletic prowess.
96. ⢠Rhythm Of The Night Cruise
â A scenic sunset cruise across Banderas Bay takes you to the isolated cove of Las
Caletas, where flickering torches, gently lapping seas and swaying palms set the
mood for a mesmerizing Aztec mystic ceremony deep within the tropical forest
that will captivate your heart and leave you breathless. The enticing aroma of
grilled steak, chicken and fish lure you towards secluded beachside tables bathed
in the soft glow of candles where you can also enjoy freshly prepared vegetables,
salads, handmade tortillas and their home grown coffee! You will savor every
moment of this unique dining experience as the ocean laps at your feet, palms
sway overhead and your waiter caters to your every whim. Highly recommended
for couples.
⢠ATV Tour

which are filled with rivers and trails. This is a different way to explore the
unknown secrets of Puerto Vallarta!

experts, teaching you all about the dolphin's anatomy, physiology, and unique
characteristics. Learn special hand training signals and positive reinforcement to

into how these enigmatic mammals behave. Take a ride across the pool from one
of the dolphins. It's an experience you'll never forget.
97. ⢠Sunset Sailing

Banderas Bay. The sailboat is a luxurious French-made sailboat with comfortable,

fruits. Relax and enjoy the views of the bay along with the sunset.

beauty, all along the edge of the jungle on the south shore of Banderas Bay. Take an
exhilarating high-speed inflatable boat ride to the fishing village of Quimixto while
enjoying beautiful views of the Malecon along the way. Then, take a horseback ride
up to view an amazing waterfall. Spend the rest of the afternoon swimming,
relaxing on the beach of Pizota, and kayaking or snorkeling in the emerald-colored
water of la Bola. Included in the day tour is lunch and open bar at the beach.

and most importantly, fun, this Outdoor Adventure is the right choice. Often called

200 feet above the ground over the jungle foliage on a 1000 foot zip-line. The
beautiful scenery, spectacular sights, and incredible flora and fauna you'll see in this
sub-tropical forest makes the Outdoor Adventure the experience of a lifetime.
