The city of Puerto Vallarta on Mexico’s Pacific coast is considered one of the country’s most entertaining resort destinations. You’ll find the usual resort amenities offered up here, cloaked in shades of Mexican culture. Whether you are staying in a Mexico Vacation Villa Rental or a resort hotel, you really should make it a point to seek out attractions that identify your surroundings as distinctly of Mexico. And what could be more authentically Mexican than mariachi music?
The beautiful sounds of mariachi originated in the Mexican state of Jalisco, so this particular musical art form is right at home in Puerto Vallarta, which is located in – you guessed it – Jalisco! A mariachi group typically consists of a number of guitars and related stringed instruments, accompanied by two or three trumpets. The musicians may or may not be vocalists as well. And their music is unmistakably of Mexican origin.
A number of different mariachi groups perform in and around Puerto Vallarta. While there are plenty of street musicians in town, they’re not all mariachi. In addition to their beautiful music, which addresses themes of love and betrayal, you can recognize a mariachi group by their distinctive, silver-studded suits. Locals and visitors alike strongly recommend a session with Mariachi Cocula, who appear in a variety of venues around town throughout the week.
Your visit to Mexico can turn into something truly special when you take time to enjoy the local culture in a personal way. And if you stay in a Mexico Vacation Villa Rental, nestled in the hills around the city, you will have an opportunity to experience the city from a unique vantage point.
