Say Your Prayers in Puerto Vallarta

The sun is warm, the breeze off of Banderas Bay is fresh, and you’re living the good life in your Puerto Vallarta villa. Your activities have included a bit of beach, some salt water, a small amount of painting and sculpture, and a whole lot of nightlife.

You’ve spent several late nights sharing your vocal talents at La Regadera in el Centro, making noise for your team at El Torito Sports Bar on the South Side, and dancing your booty off at the Zoo on Paseo Diaz Ordaz. And now you’re feeling like you might need a bit of something to feed your spirit.

Sunday services are available in Puerto Vallarta in English and Spanish. If you prefer English, you can attend Catholic Mass at the Paradise Village Golf and Spa Resort in Nuevo Vallarta or a service at the First Baptist Christian Church in El Centro.

A variety of churches offer Spanish language services throughout the city.
Our Lady of Guadalupe Parish says Catholic mass downtown, or you can choose from Baptist, Evangelical, Seventh Day Adventist and Mormon services as well. And if you simply can’t decide, you can soothe your soul at one of the city’s non-denominational churches – you might find one near your Puerto Vallarta villa.

Getting Around Puerto Vallarta in Water Taxis

It really doesn’t matter if you don’t have a car in Puerto Vallarta – in fact, it might be best if you leave the driving to those who know the ways of the road. Like most guests who stay in villa rentals Puerto Vallarta, you have some options for getting around town. The first, of course, is “shank’s mare,” that is to say, your two hind legs. When the weather is lovely and you’re not going too far, this might actually be the best way to become acquainted with town.

Taxis offer door-to-door service from villa rentals Puerto Vallarta to any place in and near town. And the local buses are a great value, and they also will get you reasonably close to just about every place you want to visit. There are a couple of popular destinations, however, that aren’t accessible from the highways. That doesn’t mean you can’t get there, it just means you can’t get there on wheels.

When you decide to check out Las Animas or Quimixto or any of the secluded beaches south of town, you’re going to want to catch a water taxi. They leave from the pier at Los Muertos and from Boca de Tomatlan. They’re not very expensive and they open up some really great destinations for exploration.

Fishing Wild in Banderas Bay

Fishing. The word by itself brings a happy smile to many a face, and the activity has the potential to get your adrenaline flowing in a hurry. Plenty of people do villa rentals Mexico for the simple pleasure of getting out on the water and going after the big ones. If you are among those who label themselves fishing folk, you have plenty of options:

You can hire a guide and a boat and head out into the waters of Banderas Bay for some high-octane deep-sea fishing.

You can hire a guide and a boat and head to Cajon de Pena lake for some of the best bass fishing you’ve ever enjoyed.

You can leave the comfort of villa rentals Mexico and go shore fishing. You won’t hire a guide or a boat, and you don’t need a license when you’re fishing from shore. You will need a rod and reel, one that’s appropriate for bigger fish (think pike and walleye). You’ll want to use heavier line, since you’re likely to encounter larger fish in the bay. And you can use casting lures (rapalas work well) or live bait (squid or sardines). The shore at the mouth of the river near Mismaloya is a good place to try.

Puerto Vallarta Sweet Tooth

You have probably heard this advice, even if you don’t follow it: Life is uncertain – order dessert first. Of course, it’s only important if you are a lover of sweets; however, if you appreciate a regular infusion of confection, you can find a number of places in the vicinity of Puerto Vallarta villa rentals that will be more than happy to serve up something yummy.

Folks who enjoy a tasty treat with their coffee will appreciate the delicious desserts at Pie in the Sky, on the South Side at 150 Ignacio Vallarta.

Another good choice for coffee and a sweet is Roberta’s Café Dulce. In addition to your favorite coffee beverage, you can dig in to some of the city’s best chocolate brownies.

When you crave something sweet and delicious and natural, try a fresh coconut at the coconut shop near the Rio Cuale bridge at Aquiles Serdan 255. Enjoy the milk and the meat.

Many guests who book Puerto Vallarta villa rentals admit to enjoying the occasional adult beverage (with the little paper umbrella and maraschino cherry). If this is you, check out the strawberry margaritas at Burros Bar on Muertos Beach. Their two happy hours (afternoon and evening) will make you doubly happy.
