Once on the boardwalk, travelers will learn about a little bit of history of Puerto Vallarta, the meaning behind its decorative design, Huichol art, and the stories or symbolism of several sculptures. Whenever possible, I’ll also talk about the history of corn in Mexico and the type of food you’re enjoying at each stop.
