Discover all the color, charm and excitement of Puerto Vallarta when you board your air-conditioned transportation and settle in for a relaxing day of sightseeing. Puerto Vallarta blooms with artistic color and Mexico's warm charm. Known for its varied architecture, sparkling beaches and festive atmosphere, it welcomes you with an easy mix of man-made sights and natural beauty.

Your driving tour meanders through this fascinating city and includes many highlights and photo opportunities. Drive through the heart of Puerto Vallarta and enjoy the "Malecon", a mile-long walkway along the expansive coastline of beautiful Banderas Bay. Keep an eye out for the famous Seahorse statue by artist Rafael Zamarripa. This iconic symbol of Puerto Vallarta is a replica of Las Pilitas, a statue initially located at the end of Los Muertos Beach that was destroyed by strong winds and waves. In 1976, the artist created a new version that was installed on the Malecon, and it has become the hallmark image of the city. Continue past El Palacio Municipal (City Hall) and the main plaza in the historic area, with its cobblestone streets and red-tile roofs.

Have your camera ready when you come to the beautiful Church of Our Lady of Guadalupe. A showpiece of the tour, the foundation of the original church was laid in 1903, at the site of a small chapel dedicated to Virgin Guadalupe. Construction began in earnest in the early '20s with the blessing of the "eucaristía", the main bell, in 1921. The Church of Our Lady of Guadalupe dominates the downtown skyline with its idyllic mix of architectural styles. Note neoclassic elements as well as the crown that graces the top; it is reminiscent of European baroque temples.

You will now continue your tour to the local lively and colorful local market for some shopping and a complimentary margarita. The transportation will then take you back to the pier.
