I LOVE Puerto Vallarta! It is one of my absolute favorite vacation destinations. We explored the Malecon, the Historic Downtown zone, the Rio Cuale, the Zona Romantica, and the South zone. In the south zone: Boca de Tomatlan, Jalisco, Mexico, Chico's Paradise Puerto Vallarta and The Vallarta Botanical Gardens were definitely highlights in the area.
Fave dining experience: The Iguana Restaurant & Tequila Bar at Casa Kimberly was hands down one of the best dining experiences I've ever had in Puerto Vallarta. The service was incredible, the food was insanely delicious, and a mariachi band that was like a full orchestra and choir.
There is still so much to explore and I can't wait to return, like, right now! Let's go!!! I had way too much fun making this Puerto Vallarta VLOG!! I hope you enjoyed it!
