Arcos, a tequila factory and its downtown for shopping in romantic or old Vallarta.

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.

this exciting journey.

72. • Horse Back Riding
o 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
o 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.

73. • Rhythm Of The Night Cruise
o 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.
