Drive Into the Heart of the City
Ride, Discover, and Delight in Every Sight
It was high noon at Malecón in Puerto Vallarta when I hopped onto the hop-on hop-off bus. The day was exceptionally warm, a perfect setting for a spontaneous tan as the sun blazed down. As the bus moved along, I didn’t bother much with the names of the streets we were passing; my focus was entirely captured by the stunning sights and views the city had to offer.
I chose a spot on the upper level, eager to get the best vantage point. From there, the panoramic views of the bustling street life and the sparkling waterfront were simply breathtaking. As we moved, I had to occasionally duck as we drove under the lush branches of roadside trees—an amusing part of the adventure when sitting up top!
I believe the route of the bus stretched from the southern end of the city to the north, giving everyone aboard a comprehensive tour of Puerto Vallarta’s charms. Each stop brought its own flavor and excitement, making the ride not just a journey but a discovery of the heart and soul of this vibrant place.
