TOP 10 Puerto Vallarta for the Active Traveler

When you're ready to leave the resort, these are the top 10 MUST DO activities in Puerto Vallarta according to locals like us. Puerto Vallarta has so much to offer if you're willing to leave the tourist track. In this video, we explore the best hidden gems, from a stunning coastal hike to a string of unnamed beaches, to jungle waterfalls and villages trapped in time. We'll also dig deeper right in the city itself, with the best place for a sunrise run or a stair climber to a sunset you'll never forget. Lastly, we'll show you where the locals go to play, where they go to pray, and where they pay their respects.
