Fri. Aug/17th/2018.
With Puerto Vallarta and Nuevo Vallarta (Riviera Nayarit) being so close in proximity, and Puerto Vallarta airport located right in the middle of the two destinations, it is common for members who have trouble deciding which location is the best fit for the kind of vacation they are looking for. Nevertheless, to help you with your decision, take a look at some key points to consider below:
Location
With regards to location, both Puerto Vallarta and Nuevo Vallarta are located on Banderas Bay on the Pacific Coast of Mexico; roughly equal distance (30 minutes) from Puerto Vallarta International Airport.
In terms of landscape Puerto Vallarta is hugged more closely by the mountains while Nuevo Vallarta is much flatter with views of the mountains at a distance. The beaches are different too, Nuevo Vallarta is famed for its long stretch of sandy beach and shallower waves, while Puerto Vallarta is characterized by coves and slightly deeper water. The beach in Mismaloya is also one of the only white sand beaches in Banderas Bay and is protected by a picturesque breakwater that forms a natural pool.
Activities
There really is no difference in the range of excursions you will enjoy whether you reserve your accommodation in Puerto Vallarta or Nuevo Vallarta. Access to popular tours like whale watching, the Marigalante pirate ship show, the Rhythms of the Night cruise, diving, snorkeling tours, ATV rentals, horseback riding, and so on are available effortlessly from both destinations.
You will find a number of tailored tours that involve free jungle hikes, kayaking and paddle boarding to Los Arcos rock formation and other activities that are privileges of the Puerto Vallartas south shore .
