If we had to pick one favorite stop, this would probably be it. We immediately went from the ship’s dock to old-town Puerto Vallarta, the Zona Romantica. We walked along the beachfront promenade, the Malecon, shopping along the way, arriving at Daquiri Dick’s in time for a fantastic lunch. Three pitchers of margaritas later, we hit Playa de los Muertos beach (steps away) and quickly donned parasail harnesses and took to the skies. Parasailing was very affordable (bargained down to $20 each) and convenient, as we took off and landed right on the beach. We captured breathtaking views of the city and harbor from the air. After a quick swim in the warm ocean, we ended our day at La Palapa, a Puerto Vallarta institution that harkens back to its glamorous 1960s Hollywood past.
