Sightseein by Air from Puerto Vallarta

Some folks who stay in a Puerto Vallarta villa rental refer to them “land excursions,” to distinguish them from expeditions that involve climbing aboard a boat of some sort and crossing the water in Banderas Bay to enjoy time in a secluded location. Others might be inclined to disagree, arguing that anytime one’s feet (and the rest of one’s self) leave the ground, one ceases to be traveling on land.

No matter what words they use to describe it, many guests who enjoy a week or two in a Puerto Vallarta villa rental don’t mind taking off (literally) to explore some of Mexico’s hidden treasures. A number of tour operators are prepared to fly visitors to some special attractions that are not that far from town by air.

For example, a short flight over the Sierra Madres will put you in the historic mining town of San Sebastian. Once upon a time (a few hundred years ago), this was a busy mining center; today, it’s a quiet village tucked into the hills. The trip will give you a chance to explore Mexico far from the tourist zone and get a first-hand glimpse of that country’s past.
