Location
Beachside promenades, restaurants, bars, and boutiques abound in the Mexican resort town of Puerto Vallarta, situated right on the Pacific’s Bahía de Banderas, or Bay of Flags. Puerto Vallarta’s nickname is “La ciudad más amigable del mundo”—which translates to “the Friendliest City in the World”—explaining the city’s popularity among weekend escapists from Guadalajara, while its young, liberal attitude means it’s also considered one of Latin America’s top LGBTQ-friendly destinations. Puerto Vallarta’s sandy beaches are also a draw for sun-seekers and water-sports enthusiasts.
