TALK of
the BAY
Year Round - A
Glimpse of Puerto Vallarta – Jalisco, Mexico
In years gone by, Puerto Vallarta was a small fishing village. Now, it
is one of the most popular travel destinations in the Mexican Riviera.
Forming the coast line around the Banderas Bay (Bay of Flags) Puerto
Vallarta offers every water sport you can think of, some of the best
seafood I’ve eaten, sun, sand and wonderful memories.
One popular destination
for snorkeling and SCUBA diving, in the Banderas Bay, is Islas Marietas.
Three small islands off the main coast about 90 minutes out by boat.
We also took a short bus trip along the coast line and stopped at a
Chico’s Paradise. A great place to take a quick dip but what caught my
attention was the young diver jumping from the rocks high above the
water…blindfolded. I cringed each time he climbed up to the top of the
rock and put his blindfold on…enough said, I’ll let you watch the video;
still cringing here.
We also had the opportunity to eat at many local restaurants. Our
favorite was Ah Caramba, a restaurant bar & terrace. With a beautiful
view overlooking Banderas Bay, musicians to serenade guests, absolutely
wonderful food and of course fabulous margaritas! This is a must do
eatery; go early, watch the sunset and enjoy. Just tell the cab driver
where you want to go, no problem.
And if you would like a taste of the Mayan culture try an evening at the
Rhythms of the Night. Primal, mystical and very dreamlike, Mayan music
floats through this jungle cove as talented dancers perform for a
captive audience. After the show, a wonderful dinner served under the
stars. Photography is very limited here so enjoy the tidbit that we got.
Access to this hidden gem is by boat only.
