The New Flagship Map

Compact folding maps are here.

The new generation of Mapa Jeff maps is designed for easy shipping, portability, and lower cost - while retaining their unique, thorough, panoramic perspective on the land.

The new Puerto Vallarta Centro & South Coast Walking Map features the Old City on one side, and the coastal neighborhoods from Amapas and Conchas Chinas all the way to Playa Los Arcos on the other.

Condos, villas, hotels, public beaches and public parking, landmarks, restrooms, and many other details are included. But as ever, there is no advertising, no sponsor, and no agenda:
Just the facts on the ground, researched and illustrated by one artist.

Folded size: 5 x 7 inches.

Side A: The Old City, extending north to the Sports Stadium and east (for the first time) to Paso Ancho.

Side B: Amapas, Conchas Chinas, and the beaches south to Los Arcos National Park.

The Centro, Plaza, Church of Guadalupe, and Isla Cuale:
