20 FREE Things to Do in Puerto Vallarta, Mexico for 2024
Puerto Vallarta is a great city to visit on a budget, so here are my top FREE things to do in Puerto Vallarta, Mexico (that are actually worth it).
Things like walking the Malecon, stunning sunsets, free walking tours, hikes, hidden beaches, murals & more!
You could spend several days in this coastal city and only spend money on food and accommodation and have plenty of things to do during the day to keep you busy - without paying, or paying very little.
In fact, some of the best ways to enjoy the city are completely free.
I hope you enjoy this in depth travel guide to all the best free things to do for your next Mexico vacation.

Right on, great spot to celebrate your birthday :)
I have lived in Vallarta for the last 30 years, I'm a proud adopted son of this beautiful place. Your videos, maybe the best I have watched about this magical town., Gracias por tus videos!
We just returned and what a beautiful location! I can NOT wait to get back!
Hi. Thanks for this excellent coverage We took a trip all the way from New Zealand as a bucket list trip to Puerto Vallarta. And we watch this video to bring back very fond memories
Excellent tips and ideas! We're going soon and will definitely check them out. ❤
Been a while since I was there, but planning to go back early next year! Thanks for your great video's!

Great info! Thank you
Yeah, just got back from first time visit to PV. Pay attention to what time of year you go. When its hot, its HOT. And climbing up to the Mirador isn't for everyone. It is a long, LONG way up there. Solid steps the entire way. We were sweating profusely and exhausted and just gave up and went to the lighthouse instead. The view there was awesome too. It was just down the street from Our Lady of Guadalupe. And we work out and walk 6 days a week. So just be aware. We actually didn't enjoy old PV too much. It was a combination of things. The heat, the humidity, the dirt and grime. It hadn't rained in months when we were there. Everything outside had dirt and grime on it. You couldn't just sit down anywhere. And I don't know if it was trash day or if there was a garbage strike, but there was trash piled up everywhere. And not just household garbage either. Pallets, mattresses, boxes, etc. were piled up everywhere. That and when you were on the busy streets and the traffic stopped, the exhaust smell was overwhelming. The mrs. said she never needed to go back into old PV. I'm willing to give it another shot, but it will definitely be at a different time of year.
Great video, thanks for posting, love PV and currently in Bucerias.
Thank you for this video! We are going to Puerto Vallarta for a wedding and was looking for some things to do and just ran into this video, will def be watching more of your videos!

The trip to Puerto Vallarta was a hit! I took my family to all of the recommended sites and everyone loved it. Thanks to this video I impressed everyone with my knowledge of PV and we had a great time. I felt like a local. Hope you get a chance to visit and use this guide.
My sister and I were in PV last week and did the lighthouse hike per your recommendation/instructions. It was great! Thanks for sharing 😁

When I lived in PV. The late 1950s. My dad started the first commercial laundry. Today PV is a movie prop for the tourists and that's it.

I enjoy taking the bus to Boca or San Pancho. It’s pretty cheap and feels like an adventure.
q…rico Vacation ☮️❤️
I visited PV a few years back as my first solo adventure outside Canada. I will honestly say that I felt lost, overwhelmed and a bit scared(even as a 6'4 220lb guy). I enjoyed my time there but after I left and looked at my pictures I realized I missed out on really enjoying it. I have been having a craving for going back recently and will definately be going 2024. On a side note...you look familiar lol (like irl). I look forward to watching more of your videos :)

It's one of my favorite cities, I think you're going to love it so much more the second time!
Beautiful video! Do you of any all inclusive resorts that are nearby these attractions you had listed? Are these areas easily accessible by foot or bus or taxi?
I will be visiting in July 22 was wondering if you have visited pv in summer if so what are your thoughts and is the walking tour available during summer?
Thank you for sharing these wonderful tips. We will be in PV next Wednesday is the free walking tours near the cruise port?

It will be about a 15 minute taxi ride to get to downtown. Type in Turismo Puerto Vallarta on google maps and the one at the plaza is the meeting spot
This makes a beautiful vacation but any practical tips on MOVING there like if there are cheap apartments and is it safe??

Wow way better than Newport Beach california.
I don't think I've ever been to Puerto Vallarta but the last time I went to Nuevo Vallarta was in 2009. I get the awesome chance to actually go to PV by cruise in february. Can't wait! Also, do you happen to know if there are any shells on the beaches?
Are you guys heading up to Bucerias

Thanks for this video. I would have had a hard time not scooping up that little white dog that needed attention at the end there. This is one of the things holding me back from going to Mexico. It's gonna break my heart.

It's actually getting a lot better now! Way more dogs are now pets instead of strays compared to even 3-4 years ago. I feel you though, our dog is also a rescue.
