Car Hire in Puerto Vallarta Zona Hotelera - Mini guide to Puerto Vallarta Zona Hotelera

The Mexican seaside paradise of Puerto Vallarta lures visitors with its stunning scenery, fantastic weather and excellent amenities. Whether you are interested in lounging on the beach, playing golf or even going whale watching, this sun-drenched area will suit you.

While public transport and organised tours of the area are available, they can be time-consuming and costly. Many prefer to use car hire services in Puerto Vallarta, which can be found at: Blvd. Fco Medina Ascensio 1602.

The public beaches at Amapas, Gringo Gulch and Conchas Chinas are easy to reach in your car hire and they are among the most stunning in Mexico. Many street vendors frequent the beaches offering opportunities to purchase handcrafted jewellery and arts.

The Malecon, an 11-block long promenade, allows for breathtaking coastal views and the opportunity to browse through fantastic seaside shops. Many bars and restaurants can be found on this stretch as well art exhibitions, street performances and a collection of stunning public art.

Just an hour in your car hire will take you to the Sierra Madre mountain village that is home to the Huichol Indians. Their seclusion and proud culture has meant they are one of the last North American tribes living as it did in pre-Columbian times. They offer a number of crafts, including fantastic yarn and bead work.

Traditional bullfights can be attended at the Paloma Bullring which is located near the Maritime Terminal. While they are certainly not for the squeamish, they offer the opportunity to view a traditional Spanish event.

The town of Tequila is two hours in your car hire from Puerto Vallarta and makes a fantastic day trip. Tour the fields of agave plants and learn about how the famous drink is made. Afterwards, you can even taste test the product or purchase a bottle.
