How about watching the sunset from a sailboat? Eating a shrimp cocktail and trying Mexico's distilled spirits?

Puerto Vallarta is a beautiful and special destination for a romantic getaway, family vacation, or weekends with friends; it will steal your heart with stunning landscapes and special sunsets, so here are some ways to enjoy the sunsets and experience the local cuisine.

 

Glass Lookout: Puerto Vallarta has spectacular landscapes, and if you're looking for one of the best 360-degree views of the mountains, the river, and the sea, "Jorullo Point" is where you want to go. This exclusive lookout with a glass platform located in the Canopy River ecotourism complex allows you to take the best and most romantic photos and enjoy the breathtaking natural landscapes.

 

TierraLuna Carousel: Puerto Vallarta is not just about beaches; it also has the most amazing places in the mountains like TierraLuna, a small open-air commercial village surrounded by tropical jungle, hidden in the mountains of the Sierra Madre. This small village features a restaurant, specialized boutiques, and handicrafts. One of its highlights is its carousel - unique in Mexico - a beautiful Instagrammable space that provides 360 views of the jungle and the ocean; when its lights are turned on at night, it creates one of the most romantic atmospheres in town.

 

Sunset Sailboat: How about enjoying the sunset on a sailboat? Vallarta Adventures offers the "Luxury Sunset Sailboat" tour, which takes you through the Bay of Banderas to enjoy the beautiful colors of the sunset, an unparalleled and very Instagrammable view; it also includes wine, exquisite hors d'oeuvres, and an open bar.

 

WHERE SHOULD I EAT?

 

Sea and Wine: offers a beautiful view that offers a unique experience as it’s tables and chairs are in a pool where the water reaches to your calves, so you can enjoy your meal with your feet in the water. What should you order? The shrimp cocktail is served in a coconut with kiwi among and is simply delicious.

 

Ik Mixology: In this place, you can have an experience to learn about Mexican spirits and try cocktails prepared with these spirits. "Today we are here at Ik Mixology to promote and let you taste the liquid culture of Mexico [...]. We have a tasting of the 6 spirits with designation of origin, we will start with mezcal, raicilla, tequilita, sotol, bacanora, and of course, the charanda from Michoacán... promoting the flavors of Mexico," said Mario Mendoza from Ik Mixology.

"Ik Mixology has been around for 4 years now, we are in the city to promote mixology and try to give people a journey through our entire country through our cocktails," he said.

 

El Dorado: This restaurant is located by the sea and offers a menu where seafood shines with dishes like the grilled catch of the day and fried squid.

 

Mix and Salt: A great recommendation is the restaurant Mix and Salt, a place that features Mexican cuisine dishes but with a contemporary touch and mainly vegetarian dishes, although there are also some with meat. Their cocktails are prepared with mezcal, each with a great presentation that suits the personality of whoever orders it. We recommend the Popcorn prepared with crispy cauliflower, the watermelon tiradito, and the mushroom barbecue tacos, along with the Guayabarosa cocktail.
