Local Highlights

Sports & Recreation

From hiking and golfing to scuba diving and big game fishing, Nuevo Vallarta-Puerto Vallarta is home to some of the world’s finest land and ocean recreation options. In-season whale watching, horseback riding, Sierra Madre excursions, eco-tours, four-wheel driving, and nearly 50 miles of unspoiled beaches, bays and coastline make the area a favorite for those into off the beaten path adventures. Toss in the famed gastronomical focus and artisan appeal, and there’s something for every age, interest and taste.

Bordering on Nuevo Vallarta is Flamingos, founded on the area surrounding the famous Flamingos Golf Course that was designed by Englishman Percy Clifford. A new golf course is under construction, with plans for additional upscale club facilities.
