MEXICO
Puerto Vallarta, Nuevo Vallarta, Jalisco, Nayarit, Sayulita, Bucerias, Yelapa, Zona Romantica.
Each a part of the stunning Banderas Bay, encircling the Pacific Ocean with their white sandy beaches, long stemmed palm trees & tropical trade winds.
Most recommended against Vallarta, claiming the East Coast of Mexico was better. Buy myself, a Pacific Islander at heart, fell deeply in love with this sunny piece of paradise.
Check out the photography below, I hope it inspires you to spend some time in this spectacular piece of Mexico.
Art by locals in the gorgeous hidden town of Yelapa. This rustic, old Mexican City is only accessible by boat.
