Puerto Vallarta is moving steadily toward full recovery following Sunday’s disturbances, as coordinated efforts by municipal, state, and federal authorities restore services and economic activity across the region.
Jalisco Governor Pablo Lemus Navarro announced that business chambers and industrial associations agreed to reactivate productive and economic activities statewide beginning Tuesday, February 24. The decision follows a joint strategy by the three levels of government to safeguard residents and support stability.
The State Security Committee confirmed that in-person classes at all educational levels will resume Wednesday, February 25. To reinforce safety efforts, the Federal Government deployed an additional 2,500 military personnel across Jalisco. Authorities continue working to clear highways and strengthen surveillance on key land routes.
Public transportation services are being restored in the Guadalajara Metropolitan Area and throughout the state, along with digital transportation and food delivery platforms. Starting Wednesday, self-service and convenience stores, wholesale markets, banks, and intercity transportation routes will return to regular operations. Fuel supplies are guaranteed, and gas stations are resuming service.
Security forces from all three levels of government will maintain permanent monitoring during the reactivation process.
In the Guadalajara Metropolitan Area, municipal services such as public cleaning, parks and gardens, street lighting, markets, and public spaces are returning to normal. The Guadalajara International Airport is also recovering regular operations.
In Puerto Vallarta, state authorities deployed personnel to ensure the resumption of public transportation, food supply distribution, and services in the Hotel Zone and surrounding neighborhoods. The local airport has continued serving passengers and receiving flights without interruption, supporting visitors and residents alike.
The Puerto Vallarta Municipal Government reported that garbage collection on Tuesday, February 24, will operate partially, focusing on main avenues including Emiliano Zapata, Olas Altas, Centro, Francisco Medina Ascencio, 5 de Diciembre, Francisco Villa, Pitillal Centro, and Aurora. Residents in other neighborhoods are asked to refrain from placing trash outside until full service is gradually restored.
Some restaurants and grocery stores resumed limited operations Monday, with more businesses expected to reopen as conditions continue to improve.
Governor Lemus Navarro called on citizens, business owners, workers, students, and community leaders to work together in restoring normal life across the state. He also indicated that the possible removal of the Code Red alert will be discussed by the State Security Council.
“The Code Red we activated allowed us to act quickly and in coordination with all levels of government to protect citizens and the productive sector,” he said, emphasizing that authorities remain committed to ensuring safety and a full recovery for Jalisco and its key destinations.
