Exploring Puerto Vallarta Mexico | Hidden Beaches, Food, 5 De Diciembre, Romantic Zone, Centro…
Join us, a full-time travel couple and digital nomads in our 50s, as we explore the vibrant city of Puerto Vallarta, Mexico! In this video, we take you on a walking adventure through the neighborhoods of 5 de Diciembre, the Romantic Zone, and Centro, discovering local gems, colorful street art, and the iconic Puerto Vallarta Malecon. We’ll show you stunning hidden beaches, how to use affordable boat taxis to get to them, delicious local food, and the best restaurants in town—from taco stands to chef-driven spots. As a former personal chef, my wife has a sharp eye (and palate!) for incredible food. Whether you’re planning your first trip or returning to discover more, this vlog is packed with travel tips, foodie finds, art, culture, and off-the-beaten-path experiences. Come along as we slow travel through Puerto Vallarta and share what makes this city so special.
Thank you for watching,
