5 Reasons Why Fall Is the Best Time to Visit Puerto Vallarta

BARGAIN PRICES

Experienced travelers know the time to go is when everyone else isn’t. That’s when hotel prices drop, restaurants jazz up their promotional offerings and hotel operators want to fill their rooms so they reduce their prices. Often as much as 40%. Up and down the famous Malecon, 2 X 1 Margaritas compete with 3 X 1 Mojito’s. You’ll have a blast picking and choosing from all these fun-filled and delicious offerings. Save room for the Cake Lady, a slice of heaven in paradise.

STELLAR WEATHER

Fall sparkles in Puerto Vallarta with sun-filled days and star-filled nights. The humidity of the summer months has faded along with the late day showers so everything is picture perfect. There are few destinations on earth that offer the consistently and reliably perfect weather that Puerto Vallarta does. A cloud in the blue sky makes news in the local press.

WARMER WATER

The Pacific is body temperature warm right now after the summer’s heat. But a little warning, if you stick your foot in, you won’t want to come back out. Grab a paddleboard, a boogie board or a surfboard or a tube for two and hit the waves. The ocean here in Puerto Vallarta is great year round but nothing like now when it’s warm and wet and wonderful.

FEWER CROWDS
