THE RIVIERA NAYARIT (RN) area is a resort paradise north of Puerto Vallarta along Banderas Bay. Located in the state of Nayarit, the Riviera stretches along 100 miles of beautiful coastline framed by spectacular mountains. Riviera Nayarit features luxury resorts, eco-tourism excursions, world class golf, wildlife sanctuaries, charming fishing villages, miles of serene beaches, water sports, the exclusive Punta Mita area and the colonial town of San Blas at its northern tip. The focus is luxury in harmony with nature all wrapped up in an authentic Mexican ambience. While vacationing in Riviera Nayarit, you can experience a step back into time in traditional Mexican towns, quaint fishing villages, natural pools, surfing, golf, canopy zip-lining, whale watching, fishing, sea lion encounters, turtle releases and more.

PUERTO VALLARTA (PV), on Mexico's glamorous Pacific Riviera, is ideally situated between the majestic Sierra Madre Mountains and the vast Pacific Ocean. This popular seaside resort town, made famous by John Huston's film, Night of the Iguana, has been welcoming sun-seeking visitors for decades. Stroll along the cobblestone streets of the old town where you'll discover white-washed and red-tile roofed houses dripping with colorful bougainvillea along with an amazing array of enticing shops, cozy cafes and lively night spots. You'll find several different resort areas, each offering a little something different from the next, including Old Town Vallarta, Marina Vallarta, the Boardwalk and the hotel zones both north and south of downtown.

The destination is a perfect combination of sophisticated resort hotels (most situated along beautiful Banderas Bay), and captivating old-world Mexican charm. Explore the palm-covered hills by mountain bike or desert jeep, enjoy championship golf courses within easy reach of most hotels or discover the wonders of the deep on a sailing excursion or a scuba-diving trip. A perfect blending of Mexico's natural beauty with a vibrant and colorful culture, Puerto Vallarta and Riviera Nayarit vacation packages offer something for young and old alike.
