Is It Possible To Travel PUERTO VALLARTA On A BUDGET? ? Things To Do + Eat!

They say Puerto Vallarta is getting more expensive, and after last week’s video, we’re definitely feeling it. So today, we’re switching things up! We each get just 400 pesos (about $20 USD) to eat, explore, and enjoy Puerto Vallarta.

Is it still possible to do Puerto Vallarta on a budget in 2025? Can you find delicious street food, fun activities, and local experiences without blowing your wallet? We’re going to show you the real side of budget travel in Mexico. Let’s see how far 400 pesos can take us in paradise.
