After a bit of research and an impromptu trip to Mexico in 2017 over Thanksgiving, we came home with an accepted offer on real estate in Puerto Vallarta. Puerto Vallarta is a place that we love the most after traveling extensively to over 40 countries. If you are looking at real estate in Puerto Vallarta, we hope this video helps you. This is a bit of giving back after all the videos we watched during our research. Please leave your questions / comments and subscribe to the channel if you are interested in learning more about our experience.

What if… we bought a taco stand? What if… we gave the tacos away for free? In today’s video we are going to answer that question! We have been thinking for some time now as to how to say thank you to Mexico and to Puerto Vallarta. So we thought “what better way to say thank you than with free tacos!?”

Thank you for giving us so much Mexico! Thank you Puerto Vallarta for being our first home away from home! And a special thank you to Taqueria las Güeras for helping us order our very first tacos three years ago! And for making the best tacos in mexico!

A special thank you to all of our patrons for helping make this video possible. Thus far your contributions have helped us experience mexico and create videos that share the beauty of Mexico with the world. Going forward we want to continue doing that, while adding in the ability to give an experience to others. We have some really fun ideas that we think you are going to like ?

It’s difficult getting through the winters in Seattle, so I’m always looking for an opportunity to escape from the gloom and get refreshed. On this trip me and a few friends got out of the rain and enjoyed a much pleasant landscape in Puerto Vallarta, Mexico. Not only were we able to enjoy a beautiful Airbnb, but we were able to get out and engage with the culture there.

One of the beneficial things about traveling here is the value. Food, attractions, Spas, etc. are al priced in pesos so if you have a favorable currency exchange you could be saving up to 75% of of what you would pay in the US for the same service. So make sure you show love to the Mexican people and tip generously!

In today’s video, we try a LAST MINUTE hotel booking in Puerto Vallarta, and score an insane discount!

Why should you visit Puerto Vallarta? Well, it’s called “The Friendliest City in the World” for a reason. With multiple sandy beaches, sapphire waters, and year-round warm temperatures, It’s the perfect destination for a family beach holiday. In recent years, PV has also become popular with students on Spring Break, and it’s the most LGBT-friendly destination in Mexico.

With so many choosing Puerto Vallarta as their holiday destination, prices have risen. That may lead you to believe a holiday in PV will be too expensive. Not so. With careful planning, you can enjoy a fantastic holiday in this friendly city on a budget.

#1. Plan before you go.

Come during summer

Summer is the off-season in Puerto Vallarta. Some tours and activities won’t be available. However, those that continue, such as snorkeling and ziplining tours, will often offer discount rates. You’ll find special offers everywhere and may be able to get cheaper rates on accommodation.

Air ticket offers

You can find last-minute flight ticket bargains as airlines struggle to fill the final seats. Keep your eyes on online sales and promotions. 

Take what you need

Plan your holiday packing carefully. Think through what you’ll need on the beach and in your hotel and ensure you take it with you. This will prevent you from needing to buy emergency gear on holiday. 

If you do find you’ve forgotten something, buy it from a regular store frequented by locals rather than an obvious tourist-oriented shop.

#2. Keep initial arrival costs low

When you arrive at the airport, the fixed price taxis are expensive, costing over 300 pesos. The local bus costs 10 pesos! The bus stop is outside the terminal beneath the pedestrian overpass. You’ll need a bus marked “Centro” or “Zona Romantica” depending upon where you’ve booked accommodation.

If you don’t want to use the public bus, you can use Uber to book a cheaper taxi, which will cost around 90 pesos. Alternatively, if you use that pedestrian overpass to cross the highway, taxis on the other side will cost around 150 pesos.

Try not to use an ATM for cash, because they are expensive. Either exchange some money at home before coming or use a bank in PV. To exchange money in a local bank, you must show them a copy of your passport signature and photo pages.

#3. Rent a condo in the Old Town

Accommodation

Renting a condo will provide more freedom and cost less than a similar standard hotel suite. You’ll find the Old Town to be the cheapest area to stay. With the kitchen in your condo, you can cook for yourself and save money. The Old Town is where you’ll find many of the attractions.

Beach

The Old Town is convenient for the Malecón. The Malecón is a mile-long promenade famous for its beach and many sculptures. On the ends of the Malecón are water fountains pumping out drinking water, so you can fill your water bottles for free!

Food

Another advantage of this area is that many of the most affordable and authentic street food vendors are found in Old Vallarta. While PV has some great gourmet restaurants, and you may decide to eat in one at least once, your money will stretch further if you eat like the locals. Keeping to street food, each meal should cost much less than $5.

Drinks

At the southern end of the Malecón, you’ll find many bars that compete with one another to offer the cheapest drinks. You can sip a Margarita for 16 pesos! But never buy the food there. They lure in tourists with cheap drinks and then make high profits on food.

#4. Go on free tours

Believe it or not, you can go on free tours in Puerto Vallarta. You’ll even get free snacks and drinks!

The Art Walk

Every Wednesday from October through May and 6 pm to 10 pm, PV’s many popular art galleries open late for the self-guided art tour. Some of the larger galleries serve snacks and refreshments, including cocktails.

Galleria Colectika is a great gallery for viewing traditional Mexican folk art. You’ll be amazed by the vivid colors of the many paintings and sculptures. And LOD is an intriguing art jeweler that utilizes Mexican opals and Colombian emeralds to fashion artistic rings, bracelets, and necklaces.

The Malecón Sculpture Walking Tour

From mid-November through mid-April, the Galeria Pacifico organizes a free sculpture walking tour on Tuesday mornings. You meet the guide at 9:30 am next to the Millennium sculpture near the Hotel Rosita at the north end of the Malecón.

The tour visits 15 statues and takes 2 hours. At each sculpture, you’ll hear about the history of the artwork and its sculptor. Along the tour, you may actually meet the sculptors in person as they often turn up to discuss their art in person. At the end of the walk, the Galeria Pacifico may offer refreshments inside the gallery. 

Live Music

If you enjoy live music, go to the gazebo in the main plaza near the central church. The Municipal Band performs there for free on Thursday and Saturday evenings around 6 pm

#5. Watch where you sunbathe

When it comes time to hit the beach, watch where you lay your blanket. Some of the beaches literally belong to the beachside restaurants, so you’ll be obliged to be a patron if you want to stay there. However, as long as you buy a drink, they’ll be happy to let you stay.

To keep costs minimal, you’d be better ensuring that you’re on a stretch of public beach. And make sure that you take what you need for the beach. 

If you find you need to buy drinks from the local bars, you may end up spending a lot. And beachside restaurants can be expensive. If you plan carefully, you can make sure that you take all the snacks and drinks you need for your beach stay.

Puerto Vallarta’s Malecón boardwalk is a popular destination for any Puerto Vallarta trip. It’s a long stretch of sandy beach with a walking path, great for relaxing on the beach as well as for exercising.

The beach itself is very clean and extremely warm, even during a tropical storm (I was here during Tropical Storm Tara). Lots of shops, vendors, and restaurants are located here. Don’t be surprised when vendors walk up to you on the beach trying to sell you food or jewelry!
