For many, the Puerto Vallarta experience doesn’t extend itself
much farther than swanky Conchas Chinas. But with the advent of
spectacular restaurants such as Le Kliff and outdoor activities
such as those offered at Canopy Tours Los Veranos and the Puerto
Vallarta Botanical Gardens, an increasing number of visitors and
locals are stretching their boundaries and exploring all the
wonders our South Shore has to offer. Beyond these attractions,
and barely an hour away from Puerto Vallarta, lies El Tuito, a
modest little town you could easily miss as you’re driving
south. But step away from the beaten path, drive into El Tuito,
and you will be as close to traditional, rural Mexico as you’re
going to get, and the pine-scented air will make you quickly
forget you are in the middle of a tropical beach vacation.
