Elysia and I started a fun little travel game recently when we decided to see if we could visit each of the top 20 restaurants in Puerto Vallarta according to TripAdvisor.com
As yet we’re only half way but it’s certainly lead us to some special spots and allowed us many a lasting memory. Here’s a short [...]

After 3 months in Vallarta, Elysia and I are beginning to take our Mexican food sparingly. Having eaten so much of it we’ve tended to hunt out the other cuisine options of late, if for no other reason than to keep things interesting.
Fajita Republic was a restaurant just off Olas Altas at the very beginning [...]

I really only wanted to write a post about this because trying to find the “Peninsula Mall” in Puerto Vallarta on a map was like trying to solve a Rubik’s cube blindfolded.
So first comment: Don’t look this place up on Google Maps. It seems to tell you that there are 2 locations, or better yet, [...]

I’m one of those people for whom breakfast is my favorite meal of the day. I’d have no qualms eating breakfast meals (like eggs benedict) for either breakfast, lunch, OR dinner.
Thus it was to our delight to discover what is apparently “the oldest ONLY breakfast restaurant” in Puerto Vallarta… the Pancake House located on Basilio [...]

I often tell Elysia how I think driving is one of my innate skills at life. I continue by bragging that I’ve driven in 6 different countries, both sides of the road, manual (stick) and automatic, off road and on.
Nonetheless, the drive from San Sebastian Del Oeste, up the mountain to La Bufa (one of [...]

I don’t mean like, the only one worth going to, I mean… the only one period.
As you might have already seen, Elysia and I are freaks for Indian food. We’ve eaten Indian food from Manila to Montreal. We love it.
Because of this, we were disappointed to learn that in the whole of Puerto Vallarta, there [...]

Let’s start this one with some geography.
Los Arcos is the famous rock structure that sits out in the water, not too far off the shore at the south end of Puerto Vallarta’s bay.
It’s most famous for it’s snorkeling tours, so to discuss Los Arcos is to discuss it’s snorkeling.
Getting to Los Arcos on one of [...]

It’s hard to write a post about ATV tours in Vallarta because as you’ll see if you’re looking to book one. There are a huge number of tours that go to quite a few different places and in combination with quite a few other activities.
So rather than writing about any individual tour I’ll give you [...]

Isla Rio Cuale is a highly mysterious place.
Despite being located in the heart of downtown Puerto Vallarta, it can NOT be found on Google Maps. You look for this place… and it’s not there.
So for the purpose of putting some decent information out into cyberspace on where Isla Rio [...]

I’m a big UFC fan, and when we arrived in Puerto Vallarta, I spend considerable time, alot of it unsuccessful, searching for a place in the town that I could be sure showed the monthly events.
It was this that lead me to, finally, come across El Torito Sports Bar. But whether you’re a UFC fan, [...]
