Puerto Vallarta is located on Banderas Bay, which both the France-based organization, the Most Beautiful Bays in the World Club and UNESCO consider to be one of the most beautiful bays in the world. It finds itself in select company, along with San Francisco in California, Quebec City in Canada and Santander Bay in Spain. It is also one of the world’s largest bays, measuring 42 km from east to west and 32 km from north to south.
At one time, Puerto Vallarta was known as Las Peñitas. It was founded in the Independence era, on December 12th, 1851, and received its present name in 1918, in honor of Ignacio L. Vallarta, a distinguished Jalisco lawyer and judge.
Years later, with the arrival of the first airplanes in the 1930s, there was a trickle of visitors who admired the gorgeous, uninhabited scenery. With the American movie, “The Night of the Iguana”, filmed on one of the beaches of the bay, Vallarta’s natural beauty was showcased for the entire world. This movie was really what initiated its popularity as a beach resort that presently welcomes more than 3,000,000 visitors every year. The majority of tourists arrive on board immense cruise ships. Others come through the Gustavo Diaz Ordaz International Airport and by highway from Guadalajara and the surrounding area.
It’s no surprise that such a spectacular destination as MayanPalace offers a whole range of recreational activities. These range from fishing in elegant yachts to swimming at gorgeous beaches, hiking through the tropical jungles or taking part in all of the water sports you could possibly name. What could be more delightful than slipping across the bay in a sailboat or diving into the crystal-clear waters of the Pacific Ocean to observe the magical underwater world. And you’ll be amazed by the extraordinary choice of golf courses with spectacular views of the bay.
