By Diana Rubio
As we know, every summer brings with it a rich blend of sun, sea, rain, and humidity. And not only that, but also the best local experiences that make summer in Puerto Vallarta so special. From well-kept secrets to favorite classics, we will discover together how to make the most of this season.
1.Breakfast at “Rancho mi abuelo” (Located in Ejido El Jorullo) – If you’re in the mood for a homemade breakfast like machaca with handmade tortillas, carne with beans, fresh cheese, and quesadillas, while enjoying natural landscapes and cooling off with cold water during the summer heat, this will undoubtedly be your place. It’s a very family-friendly location with pools filled with river water.
2. Vallarta Adventures – This tour company with over 20 years of experience offers summer discounts of 30% and/or 3-for-2 deals on their tours. If you’ve always wanted to try it out, now is the time to be adventurous.
3. Xalli Beach Club – Ideal place to enjoy one of the best beaches in the port with comfort, luxury ambiance, and delicious food. They offer a Day Pass starting at $1,800 MXN per adult (includes $1,000 pesos credit for food and beverages) and $900 MXN for children aged 5-14 (includes $500 pesos credit for food and beverages; children 0-5 years old are free). I recommend making a reservation to secure your spot.
4. Bonito Kitchen (Emiliano Zapata) – Want a savory dinner? This superbly delicious Asian cuisine restaurant, offers a 15% discount to all residents of Puerto Vallarta during the months of July and August (This discount also applies for Casita & Garden).
5. Visit San Sebastian del Oeste – With the arrival of heat and rain, humidity can sometimes make it challenging to enjoy. Just an hour away from Puerto Vallarta, you’ll find the charming and picturesque town of San Sebastian. Surrounded by mountains, its climate becomes pleasantly cool with the rain, so much so that you might even need a sweater.
With these options full of adventure, flavor, and memorable moments, summer in Puerto Vallarta promises to be unforgettable!
