the beautiful snorkel area of Los Arcos, a federal underwater park and ecopreserve.
Our guided snorkel tour of the coral reefs is a must do on any trip
to Puerto Vallarta. Here, you can watch swirling bunches of butterfly, angel
and parrot fish graze on green algae; and possibly catch a glimpse of
bigger life in the coral depths. For lunch we travel to the pristine paradise of
Las Animas. This idyllic beach is the perfect place to enjoy local cuisine,
sunbathe or for the more active traveler a chance to water-ski or parasail.

against the boat at the end of the day. Our professional chef will prepare

and tasty cocktails to compliment. When the stars come out we sail toward

Puerto Vallarta incident

Hola Amigos! Regarding about the incident that took place here in Puerto Vallarta last Wednesday, I have to say that is terrible but is well know by everybody that the drug lords are affecting our peaceful lives by doing this kind of acts, Puerto Vallarta is still a safe,clean,friendly,gorgeous city and beach destination to visit and live. Incidents like this one occurs not only in Mexico but also in the U.S.A, Canada,France,Germany,Spain,Argentina,Ecuador,Colombia and in many other Countries around the world,media is punishing us again with alarmist headers with the main purpose of keeping vacationers in their own Country.The place where the incident happened is located in Francisco Villa street,( behind Costco) and it was called “las pink-cheladas” this was a small business outside the touristic part of Puerto Vallarta where anybody could go in without the proper inspection or security check (making this place a perfect spot for drug dealers). Not in the main avenue, not in the boardwalk or Malecon, not in the old town, not in downtown, not the marina or the hotel zone. Thanks for your concern and let´s live a life full with joy and faith for a brighter future.Your Mexican Amigo: Juan Carlos
