Mexican Riviera

Puerto Vallarta, Mexico

Cobbled streets and red-tiled roofs between the Sierra Madre and Banderas Bay.

Puerto Vallarta lies on Banderas Bay in the state of Jalisco, backed by the jungle-covered Sierra Madre. Its old town is known for cobbled streets, the crown-topped Church of Our Lady of Guadalupe and a seafront Malecón lined with sculptures. Jalisco is also the home of tequila and mariachi music.
