Kaleidoscope Travel & Cruise

Article Published: December 8th, 2005

Puerto Vallarta was our first port of call on our recent group cruise. At 7:00am on November 10 the MS Ryndam docked in the charming city of Puerto Vallarta. Located on the west coast of Mexico in the state of Jalisco. Puerto Vallarta is built on 25-miles of Banderas Bay and along the Sierra Madre mountain range. The city was once little more than a sleepy fishing Village but in 1962 director John Huston selected the location for his film “Night of the Iguana” starring Richard Burton and Ava Gardner. Today more than two million tourists visit Puerto Vallarta each year. Enjoy a leisurely stroll through Old Town, a traditional meal at a local eatery accompanied, of course by beer or tequila, or shop to your hearts content. Puerto Vallarta has long been known for its tropical appeal to vacationers. Part of the magic of Mexico is the warm welcome offered to families. New eco and adventure-oriented attractions have added to the enjoyment of the miles of beaches and spectacular pools and found in this enchanting town, while many hotels offer special facilities for every kind of traveler. Activities include water-skiing, wind surfing, deep-sea fishing, wind surfing,fly fishing, sailing, whale watching, scuba diving, snorkeling, surfing, and kayaking.
