Puerto Vallarta is preparing to receive seven new Blue Flag beaches next month, an international recognition of environmental quality, safety, and visitor services. The new certifications will further strengthen the city's reputation as a top beach destination.

The Vallarta Abuelos have launched their 7th annual School Bag Project, aiming to provide more than 700 local children with backpacks and school supplies. A donation of 600 pesos can help ease education costs and keep students on the path to success.

In Puerto Vallarta, you'll discover a wealth of unforgettable experiences that won't cost you a dime. From art to nature, history to adventure, these eight activities will allow you to immerse yourself in the spirit of the city while keeping your budget intact.
