Of course, Puerto Vallarta is the ideal snowbird destination or place to buy a vacation home in Mexico. Our winters offer an incredible climate with warm days, cooler nights, ocean breezes and rarely a drop of rain, November through May. But that doesn’t mean that summer in Puerto Vallarta doesn’t have some fantastic attributes to also enjoy! We polled our local Puerto Vallarta real estate agents for their tips on the best bets for summer fun and activities in the city.
- Deep Sea Fishing – Summer is trophy season on the waters of Banderas Bay. Large tuna, black marlin, blue marlin, striped marlin and mahi mahi are all in high season during the summer months.
- Rancho El Charro – This tour company offers trail riding through a federally eco-protected area along a river at the base of the Sierra Madre mountains. With well-cared for horses that are appropriate for every level of rider, you can explore our beautiful jungle during the summer season, when it is the most lush and green.
- Hit the Beach – Other than the 6 weeks of school summer vacation, when Puerto Vallarta is a top destination for national tourism, we locals can enjoy our beautiful beaches and beach clubs all to ourselves during the summer months.
Bonus Rainy Day Puerto Vallarta Tip – with the summer months come the summer rains, usually in the late afternoon and evening. Best place to wait out a rainstorm? The new La Isla Plaza in the Puerto Vallarta Hotel Zone. Catch a movie at the luxurious VIP theatre or grab dinner or cocktails at one of the many restaurants located in the shopping plaza.
