Itinerary

1. Los Arcos
Los Arcos Scenic Overlook. This roadside viewpoint frames Puerto Vallarta’s most photographed natural landmark: the granite islets of Los Arcos Marine Park. Rising from turquoise waters, the rock arches attract seabirds and snorkelers, but even from the shore the sight is spectacular. The overlook offers a safe pull-off for quick photos with the jungle and sea meeting dramatically in the distance, a scene that defines the South Shore’s beauty.
Duration: 60 mins
2. Mismaloya Beach
Just a short drive further is Playa Mismaloya, the jungle-backed cove that put Puerto Vallarta on the map when it was featured in the 1964 film The Night of the Iguana. The bay’s emerald water and dramatic cliffs make it one of the area’s most scenic beaches. A stroll along the sand or a quick pause for photos captures the blend of cinematic history and natural splendor, giving you a taste of the South Shore’s timeless charm.
Duration: 120 mins
3. Vallarta Botanical Gardens AC
Set in the Sierra Madre foothills, this award-winning garden spreads across trails lined with orchids, vanilla vines, and towering palms. Visitors can wander shaded paths, explore themed gardens like the Cactus House and Orchid Conservatory, or dip their feet in the clear river that runs through the grounds. The on-site restaurant overlooks lush canopies and is perfect for a relaxed meal. It’s a true immersion into the biodiversity that thrives just beyond Puerto Vallarta’s coastline.
