Puerto Vallarta Map for Cruise Passengers

New for the 2016-2017 Season.

The latest title in the Portable Foldable Maps series combines the Centro and Hotel Zone portions of the city to show cruise-ship passegers how to enjoy Puerto Vallarta on their own for a day.

Side A: The port, hotel zone, and regional inset map. The port area itself is labeled with gate and pier numbers and the locations of bus and taxi stops. The clean public beach that begins a few hundred yards from the dock is illustrated to look almost as irresistible as it is in real life. Major retail outlets are noted all the way along the boulevard into town (Radio Shack for that lost iPad chord, for example). And the regional map gives passengers a wider understanding of the region and the locations of the day-trip attractions the cruise lines offer.



Side B: The city center with places of interest, a half-dozen great places to eat, clear instructions on getting back to ship, and three recommended outings: A hike to the cross on the hill above Centro; a bus trip to the Puerto Vallarta Botanical Gardens; and a shorter bus trip to beaches south that have fewer people and no vendors.
