The Puerto Vallarta Itinerary

the first PURACREMA itinerary

Welcome to PURACREMA itineraries!

For this first guide, I’ll tell you how to experience my hometown as a pata salada—that’s Mexican coastal surf speak for a native of Puerto Vallarta. I’ve put together a complete itinerary including a list of boutique hotels, the best neighborhoods to stay in, what your first meal upon arrival should be, breakfast options for sweet and savory, lunch spots “if you’re not that hungry kind-of-vibe,” specialty coffee shops, dreamy bars, an impromptu taco crawl itinerary, fine dining by the river, dessert on the street, jungle hikes, shopping, hot tips, and what I bring back in my suitcase after every trip.

PURACREMA guides will be available for paid subscribers as a bonus and a sincere GRACIAS for their invaluable support for this newsletter. Sign up or upgrade to a paid subscription for double the fun: get all the PURACREMA drops every month, plus all of my new recipes and the recipe archives!
