Creator's Key Takeaways

I love tenders because they're fun but it takes a lot longer to get off the ship

the malecon that area it's a big long I don't want to call it a street it's kind of a cobblestone street with palm trees the oceans on one side vendors restaurants on the other side

there's a kind of a river that runs out next to that Oscar's restaurant we already talked about and it's been known that people have seen crocodiles in there

Creator's Tips & Advice

Bring US Dollars and get change in pesos for better bargaining power
Use the city bus for an authentic and inexpensive trip to the malecon
Visit the malecon early to avoid long lines for the Puerto Vallarta sign photo
Check for crocodile sightings near the river before swimming

🆕New to Cruising? This Creator Addresses:

Language barriers with vendorsMany vendors speak English, but not as much as in Cabo; you can usually find someone who understands
Getting lost in the old town areaThe malecon is a long straight boardwalk; it's hard to get lost
