Puerto Vallarta’s International Friendship Club home tours have earned the 2026 Tripadvisor Travelers’ Choice Award for the second year running. Placing in the top 10% of global attractions, the popular weekly excursions fund vital local children's charities.

Open-air markets bring Banderas Bay communities together, connecting coastal towns in Jalisco and Nayarit. These weekly gatherings celebrate local traditions with artisan crafts, fresh produce, regional specialties and special treasures made by local creators.
