Walking Tour Of Puerto Vallarta

OVERVIEW

Walk through the enchanting streets of Puerto Vallarta, starting in Gringo Gulch, an affluent residential area where Elizabeth Taylor and Richard Burton once lived in Casa Kimberly. As you meander the cobblestone streets, the guide will point out and describe landmarks in Old Town such as the Church of Our Lady of Guadalupe. Although it took 84 years to complete the building as it stands today, it was well worth the effort as the church has become an icon. It lies just a block from the malecón, the esplanade that runs along the Bay of Banderas for nearly a mile. As you stroll along this popular boardwalk, you may pass the symbolic Boy on a Seahorse sculpture that stands in the middle of the colorful sign that spells out Puerto Vallarta. The historical Malecón Lighthouse stands nearby. Time will also be allotted for you to independently explore Olas Altas, a bustling shopping street.
