PUERTO VALLARTA

Puerto Vallarta is located on the Pacific Coast on one of the largest bays in the world. Banderas Bay. The northern most limit of the bay is at Punta Mita which is at the end of the Sierra de Vallejo Mountains. To the south, the bay ends in Cabo Corrientes, part of the foothills of the Sierra del Cuale range.The bay has been known since the XVI Century when Spanish soldiers, during the expeditions to Lower California (or Island of Pearls, as they called it), landed on the bay's beaches in order to supply their ships with water, firewood and fresh food. There are many chronicles from that time which mention the beauty of the coastline, the fertility of the land and the safe harbors that the bay offered ships. During the XVI Century, safe harbors all along the Pacific Coast were a vital necessity so that ships returning from the Philippines would have a place to find refuge in case of attack by pirates. These harbors were also necessary during the long journeys to and from the Orient so that ships could be repaired if necessary and crews could take on provisions. "Night of the Iguana" in Puerto Vallarta. opened many doors.

The Crown Paradise resort is the best all-inclusive resorts to stay at in Puerto Vallarta. The rooms are beautiful, the service is primo. It was fantastic being kissed by the warmth of the sun, while laying all day on the beach or by the pool.  The vendors on the beach made shopping so much fun....:).  (Buy your tickets for The Marigalante from a vender, you'll get a better deal ;) )  With no doubt, you'll be spoiled rotten..... purrrr   :)  S~
