Puerto Vallarta's seawall (Malecón) is steeped in history. From Indians and Aztecs, pirates and Spanish Conquistadors, farmers and fishermen, stevedores and early settlers to Hollywood actors and famous politicians, today's Malecón continues to hold a special magic over those who stroll its two mile length from Hotel Rosita past the Los Arcos Amphitheater all the way to Los Muertos Pier.
The ocean, the waves, the breeze, and the jungle covered mountains, only add to the beauty and enjoyment of this important symbol of Vallarta.
As the day cools down and the sun slowly makes its way west, join Learn Vallarta's newest walking tour as we stroll the Malecón while learning about the history and local culture of Vallarta, stories of its people, the origins and inspirations behind the many bronze sculptures, significant historic buildings, outdoor art and Huichol Indian symbology that is embedded in the sidewalk.
End at the stunning Los Muertos Pier. See a collection of old historic photos from Vallarta's past. A list of the beach restaurants we pass is included with the walk.
