Traveling Makes Us Much Happier Than …Experience Happiness
Why do many people go shopping the minute they have money in their wallets? Material wealth brings you happiness, albeit temporarily. Only a few days after a new purchase, the thrill, pleasure, and enjoyment you felt begins to fade.
It turns out that as soon as you get used to your new purchase, your level of satisfaction decreases and you feel compelled to go shopping again for the next exciting thing. This vicious cycle repeats itself over and over again.
The problem with this kind of addiction is that you are trying to buy happiness. Unfortunately, money can only make life easier and less stressful, it can’t give you long-term contentment. Buying Stuff Is not Going to Work…
According to a research conducted at Cornell University, there is a way to break that damaging cycle. Thomas Gilovich, a psychology professor at the university, has revealed that people experience the same amount of happiness when making a purchase they want and when they travel. And here is the important bit, while the happiness you derive from a purchase reduces over time, the memories of your traveling experience still supply you with happiness hormones for a long time.
But why?
Gilovich explains that adaptation is “one of the enemies of happiness.” You buy things to make you happy, and you succeed for only a short while. Soon, you adapt to the things that used to bring you happiness. So, What’s The Secret Sauce to Sustained Happiness?
Experience.
Although making new purchases may give you novelty, it still lacks the key ingredient for maintaining happiness.
As Dr. Gilovich says, your experience is a bigger part of yourself than your material goods. You may actually like your purchases and you may even go to the extent of thinking that a part of you is connected to that stuff; however, they are separate from your identity. On the other hand, your travel experiences are part of who you are.
Your richest and most cherished memories aren’t from the material goods you have bought. Rather, they’re a total sum of the life experiences you have had. Happiness Stems From Connections
Traveling brings you to new cultures and places. In such an environment, everything around you feels more enriching. Your brain and body alike lose track of time as you’re so keen on absorbing new information.
That disconnection from the normal surroundings that you’re already adapted to offers an excellent environment for creating happy and lasting memories that are hard to forget or replace.
Robert Waldinger, head of a 80-year old research at Harvard University knows much about happiness. The results from one study revealed that individuals who most connected to their family, friends, community, and other people were the healthiest and happiest.
In light of that, Waldinger says that you need to deepen your relationships by doing new things together with the people in your life. He goes on to explain that experiences connect you to others in a way that material things can’t. To Waldinger, some of the most important experiences in his life are travel. Traveling, he reveals, brought him closer to his family.
Other Things You Can Do For Long-Lasting Happiness
Participating in extreme sports, learning new skills, or going to unusual events will bring you joy. A new car or gadget will eventually become ordinary, old, and outdated. On the other hand, the memories you create will become a real source of happiness that will stay with you your whole life.
So, invest your hard-earned cash in experiences, and you’ll be investing in your long-term happiness and satisfaction. BE HAPPY, TRAVEL!

You can spend time strolling past the unusual statues and intricate sand sculptures that abound, stopping for pictures or looking inside one of the art galleries along the way. You will probably end your walk at the Church of Our Lady of Guadalupe, one of the most iconic images of the city. You can also book a whale watching tour or boat tour, or plan an adventure activity like scuba diving or zip line.

You can also set out to explore the Sierra Madre Mountains on a full-day or half-day tour to get in some exercise and get up close and personal to nature. Also consider visiting Los Arcos Marine Park if your goal is enjoying the scenery outdoors. Signing up for one of the best Puerto Vallarta tours is another great way to explore Puerto Vallarta with the help of a local.

El Malecón is a great place to stroll any time of day, but especially in the evenings. Along the way, visitors will see everything from sand sculptures and bronze sculptures to the iconic Church of Our Lady of Guadalupe.

It is also the center of the city’s thriving gay scene and has a bevy of gay beaches, bars and restaurants lining Olas Atlas. This area is also known as Old Vallarta or Old Town.
Zona Romantica is a must-see. The area contains a number of the city’s best restaurants, excellent cultural opportunities and the most popular beach in the city: Los Muertos Beach. It is also home to a pier built in 2013 that offers seating for pedestrians and illuminates each evening with a kaleidoscope of colors. From the pier, travelers can board water taxis to some of the area’s more secluded beaches. You will find a bunch of smaller grocery stores, restaurants and cafes away from the beach, as well as fewer peddlers selling souvenirs. Lázaro Cardenas Park (also known as Tile Park) is another popular stop here thanks to the colorful mosaics adorning the benches, columns and planters.
Many past visitors recommended booking your accommodations in this neighborhood. If you decide to stay elsewhere, you’ll find this area of PV bordered by Rio Cuale (River Markets) on the north, Santa Barbara Street on the south, Insurgentes Street on the east, and Playa Los Muertos on the west.

Yelapa
For a break from the tourist crowds of Puerto Vallarta, head about 20 miles south to Yelapa. One of Mexico’s few “undiscovered” beach towns, Yelapa is only reachable by boat, which is part of the reason why it sees relatively fewer travelers than other popular areas along Bahía de Banderas.

There is a waterfall not too far from town that you can reach via a paved walking path. Swimming in the water hole beneath the waterfall, praising the clean, refreshing waters. Because of the paved path and short hike, many said it was suitable for children.
To reach Yelapa from Puerto Vallarta, hop on a water taxi. Water taxis from Puerto Vallarta’s Los Muertos pier depart several times daily starting at 11 a.m. The trip takes about 45 minutes and costs 550 pesos (or about $25) round trip. You can also take a water taxi from the small town of Boca de Tomatlan, but that will require that you take a local bus from the Romantic Zone to Boca de Tomatlan.

Mirador de La Cruz is popular among travelers in search of incredible views of the sunrise or the city’s overwater sunsets, as well as those who want to stay active during their Puerto Vallarta vacation.
The trek to the lookout is well worth the time and effort, but that people in poor shape may find the uphill climb and stairs fairly strenuous. Bringing water, and note that there are restrooms you can use at the top (for a fee), so make sure to bring cash.
You can begin the hike to Mirador de La Cruz directly from the Malecón in downtown Puerto Vallarta by taking Calle Abasolo away from the water and walking in the direction of the hills. A few blocks later, you’ll turn left on Calle Emilio Carranza and take a right on Josefa Ortiz de Dominguez, at which point you can look out for signs that lead the way.
Church of Our Lady of Guadalupe
The silhouette of this church in downtown PV is one of the most defining images of the resort town and its chiming church bells are one of the most recognizable sounds.

Entre los atractivos de Puerto Vallarta que se destacaron estuvieron la oferta hotelera, sus más de cincuenta actividades al aire libre, los múltiples eventos tradicionales que se realizan cada año y la gran oferta gastronómica con alrededor de cuarenta cocinas de todo el mundo.
También se hizo hincapié en la excelente conectividad aérea que tiene el destino con Estados Unidos; desde Denver a través de rutas directas diarias operadas por United Airlines, Southwest y Frontier, y desde Dallas con American Airlines y Frontier.
Los segmentos de mercado que mostraron mayor interés en visitar Puerto Vallarta durante las temporadas de primavera y verano fueron familias, solo travelers, parejas y cruceristas que en sus viajes previos hicieron escala en el destino y desean regresar para conocerlo más.

La Semaine sainte 2025 sera célébrée du 13 au 20 avril, commençant par le dimanche des Rameaux et se terminant par le dimanche de Pâques.
Bien que les jours les plus importants soient du 17 au 20 avril, le calendrier scolaire du SEP accorde deux semaines de vacances aux étudiants. Pourquoi c’est comme ça ? Nous expliquons ici, en plus des dates clés de la Semaine sainte, les jours où les travailleurs sont autorisés à se reposer selon la loi et l’importance de chaque fête religieuse.
Vous pourriez être intéressé à lire : Quelle est la différence entre la Semaine sainte et Pâques ? Quand est la période des vacances de la Semaine sainte 2025 ?
La Semaine Sainte est une célébration religieuse chrétienne qui commémore la passion, la mort et la résurrection de Jésus-Christ. En 2025, il aura lieu aux dates suivantes :
Jours saints de la Semaine sainte 2025 :
Dimanche des Rameaux : 13 avril Jeudi saint : 17 avril Vendredi saint : 18 avril Samedi saint : 19 avril Dimanche de Pâques : 20 avril
Pourquoi y a-t-il deux semaines de vacances si la Semaine sainte n’en dure qu’une ?
Le calendrier scolaire 2024-2025 publié par le ministère de l’Éducation publique (SEP) établit une période de vacances du lundi 14 avril au vendredi 25 avril 2025, qui accorde deux semaines complètes de repos aux élèves des écoles primaires au Mexique.
Pourquoi c’est comme ça ?
Le SEP vise à faciliter la planification familiale et le tourisme intérieur, c’est pourquoi il est d’usage de prolonger la période de vacances à une semaine avant et une semaine après le Triduum pascal (Jeudi, Vendredi et Samedi Saints). Cela sert non seulement des objectifs religieux, mais aussi économiques et logistiques, permettant aux familles de mieux utiliser leurs jours de congé.
Brève description des jours saints
Ci-dessous, nous expliquons brièvement ce que chacun des jours les plus importants de la Semaine Sainte représente :
Dimanche des Rameaux (13 avril) :
Marque le début de la Semaine Sainte. Elle commémore l’entrée triomphale de Jésus à Jérusalem, où il fut accueilli avec des branches de palmier. Au Mexique, les palmiers sont bénis dans les églises comme symbole de foi et de protection.
Jeudi saint (17 avril) :
Rappelle la dernière Cène de Jésus avec ses apôtres, où il a institué l’Eucharistie. Le lavement des pieds est aussi célébré comme un symbole d’humilité et de service.
Vendredi saint (18 avril) :
C’est l’un des jours les plus solennels. Elle commémore la crucifixion et la mort de Jésus. De nombreuses communautés au Mexique organisent des processions du Chemin de Croix.
Jour de deuil et d’attente de la Résurrection. Dans l’Antiquité, on la célébrait avec le traditionnel « brûlage de Judas » et des bains froids, bien que bon nombre de ces pratiques aient été réduites ou réglementées.
Dimanche de Pâques (20 avril) :
Aussi appelé le dimanche de Pâques, c’est la célébration centrale du christianisme : la résurrection de Jésus. Il représente le triomphe sur la mort et le péché.
