1Parroquia de Nuestra Senora de Guadalupe
Puerto Vallarta’s crown-topped cathedral is the city’s best-known landmark, dominating the skyline with its baroque façade and distinctive crown steeple. The lively square out front often has flower vendors, street musicians, and locals gathering, making it the perfect spot for photos that capture both architecture and atmosphere. Inside, visitors find colorful stained glass and religious artwork that offer a quick glimpse of the city’s spiritual heart.

Stretching along the waterfront, the Malecón is both a seaside promenade and an open-air art gallery. Its bronze statues, ranging from whimsical sea creatures to striking modern works, line the boardwalk against a backdrop of ocean waves and sunsets. Beyond the sculptures, the walkway bustles with street performers, cafes, and boutiques, so every pause is a chance to experience Puerto Vallarta’s energy up close. This stop is ideal for combining iconic photos with a short stroll and a taste of the local vibe.

Set between two branches of the Cuale River, this tree-shaded island feels worlds apart from the busy streets above.

Rustic bridges connect the island to the city, and leafy paths provide a slower rhythm that invites you to linger. It’s a great place to pick up authentic souvenirs and enjoy the laid-back pace of daily life.
