South of the border, Puerto Vallarta is a hotbed of lesbian and gay travel. (It's known worldwide as Mexico's gay capital!) Find your fellow sun-seekers on the white-sand beaches of Banderas Bayfrolicking in turquoise waters and enjoying the town's old-school Mexican charm.
Puerto Vallarta's old townaka Zona Romanticais home to most of the gay hotels, gay resorts, and gay nightlife. You'll find chain and mainstream hotels in the Hotel Zone. Newer all-inclusive resorts are a long taxi ride north of the town.
The sun, the sea, the margaritas. You can't avoid romance in this tropical destination. Although a sunset cruise wouldn't hurt either.
There are two distinct nightlife times: Before midnight and after midnight. Before midnight, seek lively conversation and libations along gay-friendly Olas Altas Street. Afterwards, head to the nearby discos to dance the night away.
Once you arrive, track down the Gay Guide Vallarta. This comprehensive book is available at most gay businesses.
