Real Estate in the Banderas Bay FAQs By AMPI https://promovisionpv.com/real-estate-in-the-banderas-bay-faqs-by-ampi/

Central & Classic Areas

Zona Romántica (Old Town)

Pros
Extremely walkable with restaurants, galleries, nightlife, and beach access all nearby.
Strong short-term rental market, high occupancy and strong ROI potential.
Distinctive charm and cultural vibe; often preferred by digital nomads and trend-oriented buyers.

Real Estate Pros & Cons Puerto Vallarta

Cons
Noise and crowds in peak seasons, nightlife can impact quality of life.
Parking and traffic can be difficult.
Older buildings may lack modern amenities (elevators, parking).

Centro / 5 de Diciembre

Pros
Close to downtown amenities and beaches like Playa Camarones.
More affordable real estate compared to Romántica or Marina.
Authentic local environment with markets and traditional eateries.

Cons
Parts of the neighborhood are still developing, with uneven infrastructure.
Some sections have nightlife spillover and local issues that might deter families or long-term renters.

Upscale & Scenic Neighborhoods

Marina Vallarta

Pros
Well-planned, modern community with wide streets, marina views, golf course, and family-friendly amenities.
Quiet quality of life and proximity to the airport (~10 min).
Strong market for long-term rentals and higher-end buyers.

Real Estate Pros & Cons Puerto Vallarta

Cons
Relatively less Mexican cultural character compared to downtown.
Less walkable; car more necessary.

Conchas Chinas & Amapas

Pros
Hillside neighborhoods with ocean views and exclusivity; often marketed as Puerto Vallarta’s luxury segment.
Strong appeal for high-end buyers and luxury rental properties.
Quieter, more private residential experience.

Real Estate Pros & Cons Puerto Vallarta

Cons
Steep terrain can make accessibility and parking challenging.
Higher entry prices and maintenance costs.

Emerging & Residential Areas

Versalles

Pros
Up-and-coming with a growing food scene and good price appreciation potential.
Mix of local character with amenities; more affordable condo options.
Relatively flat terrain and increasing interest from younger buyers.

Cons
Slightly further from the beach; may require transport for some amenities.
Infrastructure is improving but still catching up.

Fluvial Vallarta

Pros
Master-planned feel with green spaces, modern homes, sidewalks, trails.
Good for families and buyers seeking newer construction near services (shopping, schools).

Cons
Less “authentic Mexican charm” than older neighborhoods.
Development is ongoing — some lots and amenities still building out.

Pitillal & Other Traditional Neighborhoods

Pros
Lower property prices and authentic barrio life with town square and community events.
Consistent local rental demand.

Cons
Not as popular with short-term tourists — better for long-term rentals or owner occupancy.
Infrastructure and amenities may be more basic.

Market & Lifestyle Considerations

Investment vs. Residential Priorities

Short-term rental investors often favor Zona Romántica, the Hotel Zone, or Marina Vallarta for high occupancy and visibility. Buy-and-hold investors might find Versalles, Fluvial Vallarta, or Pitillal compelling due to lower entry costs and demographic shifts.
Luxury buyers tend toward Conchas Chinas, Amapas, and select Marina developments.

Walkability & Accessibility

Downtown, Romántica, Centro, and 5 de Diciembre are strongest for walking to shops and services.
Marina and suburban zones** are more car-dependent.

Terrain & Mobility

Hilly zones like Conchas Chinas and Amapas have great views but can challenge mobility buyers. Fluvial, Versalles, and Pitillal are relatively flatter.

Many more new neighborhoods are being created with gated communities to created quieter surroundings with stricter guidence rules.

El Eden Hiking Trail Mismaloya Puerto Vallarta

El Eden Hiking Trail Mismaloya Puerto Vallarta. Here is a practical overview of the trail and outdoor adventure area near Mismaloya, Puerto Vallarta, toward El Edén the “Predator” movie set as well as what El Edén and nearby Edenva are like:

Hiking / Trail from Mismaloya to El Edén

There is a recognized trail route from the general Mismaloya area toward El Edén through the jungle near Puerto Vallarta.

Trail details, approximate

Length: 5.0 miles round-trip or 8 kilometers
Difficulty: Moderate terrain through jungle with some uneven sections
Time to complete: 2 h 15 – 2 h 30 standard pace
Elevation: modest gain 272 meters
Trail start: the hotel Barcelo into Parque El Edén de Mismaloya.

El Eden Hiking Trail Mismaloya Puerto Vallarta

Trail Notes

The route goes mostly through jungle terrain with shade but can be very hot and humid, especially midday. Bring water, insect repellent, good shoes, and sun protection.
Dogs are welcome with leash but expect uneven roots and muddy patches during rainy season.

This is a nature trail, not a paved path, and not an official maintained tourist path with signage everywhere. Navigation can be challenging without a GPX map or local guidance.

El Edén (Predator Movie Set) – What & Where

El Edén refers to a natural jungle area just inland from Mismaloya, south of Puerto Vallarta, that was a filming location for the 1987 movie Predator starring Arnold Schwarzenegger.

Today it exists as a nature/adventure area featuring:

Rivers, waterfalls, and natural swimming spots in a tropical setting.
Zip lines (canopy) through the jungle — multiple lines over the river and forest.
Trail sections, viewpoints, and scenic jungle terrain.
A small restaurant and picnic areas by the river (often called Jardín El Edén).
Guided tours, adventure experiences, and natural river lounging areas.

The access road heads south from Puerto Vallarta Mismaloya Bus along highway, then cross the street to the dirt road leading to El Eden. Keep following the river toward Ranchos/El Edén areas. In rainy season it can be in less good condition.

Activities Around El Edén

Most people do not just hike by themselves all the way through jungle paths; instead they book experiences that combine nature with guided adventure because parts of the jungle network can be ambiguous to follow as a standalone trail:

Canopy / Zipline Tours
Several operators offer zipline, canopy tours at or near El Edén multiple lines through jungle and over river sections.

ATV & Off-Road Experiences
Guided ATV routes take you from Mismaloya up through jungle trails and dirt tracks to El Edén scenic spots, with chances for photos, short hikes and river swims included.
Combined Horseback + Ziplines
Some combos include horseback ride portions along river banks and jungle trails plus canopy segments.
These structured tours are often safer than trying to do a long jungle route alone, especially if you are unfamiliar with the terrain.
https://edenvallarta.com/

Edenva, Nearby but Distinct

Edenva is a separate adventure/ecotourism park located in the same general region along the Mismaloya / El Edén area. It is not one single official trail between spots, but another private/ecotour operation offering:

Canopy lines
Zip-line adventures
Short nature walks
Relaxed riverside areas and jungle scenery
Edenva markets itself as an “ecological adventure park” in the jungle area used for Predator filming.
https://edenva.mx/

Tips Before You Go
Navigation & safety
Jungle terrain can be slippery in rain; bring proper shoes and lots of water.
In hottest months bring sunscreen and early start to avoid hottest hours.

Best access points
The common trailhead people reference starts around the Barcelo Hotel and leads inland north toward jungle and river greenbelt areas that connect you closer to El Edén ecology park.

Madonnari Festival Puerto Vallata Feb 13 – 15

Madonnari Festival Puerto Vallata Feb 13, 14 and 15. The Madonnari Festival is a three-day annual cultural event, where elaborate chalk paintings are displayed. These works are created by artists of all ages directly on the sidewalks of downtown Puerto Vallarta. https://www.facebook.com/madonnari.pv

The participation of more than 100 people is expected, who will freely express their work in the main square of Puerto Vallarta, as well as in the side corridors of the Municipal Palace.

Madonnari Festival Puerto Vallata

The Madonnari Puerto Vallarta Festival supported by the H. Ayuntamiento.

The first ‘I Madonnari’ Festival took place in Puerto Vallarta, Mexico in 2005, with chalk artists from around the world drawing amazing renditions directly on downtown streets and sidewalks. Now in its eleventh year, this traditional and colorful fiesta of ephemeral art on pavement will transform the walk ways in PV’s Plaza Principal into beautiful works of art.

History:

The I Madonnari Street Painting Festival is the first festival of its kind in the Western Hemisphere. It was created in 1987 by Kathy Koury, the former executive director of the Children’s Creative Project, as a fundraising event to benefit the arts education programs. Now there are more than 100 similar street painting festivals throughout the U.S., Canada, Central and South America.

Ms. Koury traveled to Italy in 1986, to visit the International Street Painting Competition in the small town of Grazie di Curtatone in northern Italy near Mantova. This first international event produced by the Centro Italiano Madonnari since 1972, takes place annually in mid-August.

Madonnari Festival Puerto Vallata

Street painting probably began in Italy during the 16th century and has a long tradition in cities in Western Europe. Artists began street painting by traveling to Catholic religious and folk festivals where they drew images of the Madonna using chalk on the street. These artists became known as “Madonnari” or street painters. Their images are called street paintings because when well drawn they resemble paintings. These artists lived and still live from the viewers’ coins thrown onto the street paintings in appreciation for the work.

La Peñita de Jaltemba by David Living Outdoors

La Peñita de Jaltemba Review by David Living Outdoors. Love this spot — La Peñita has such an easy, laid-back vibe.

La Peñita de Jaltemba is one of those beach towns that instantly slows your pace. The long stretch of golden sand is perfect for morning walks, sunset strolls, or just sitting back and watching the waves roll in along the Bay of Jaltemba. The beach feels open and uncrowded, with gentle surf and beautiful views across the water toward the surrounding hills.

La Peñita de Jaltemba Riviera Nayarit

The Malecón adds even more charm. Lined with ocean views, local art, and plenty of places to sit and soak it all in, it is the heart of town life by the sea. As the sun goes down, the sky lights up in incredible colors and the whole waterfront comes alive with walkers, families, and visitors enjoying the cooler evening air. It’s the perfect place to experience the relaxed, friendly feel that makes La Peñita so special.

Whether you are here for a quiet beach day, a scenic sunset, or just a peaceful seaside walk, La Peñita’s beach and Malecón are must-see highlights on the Riviera Nayarit coast.

Jalisco FITUR 2026 . Jalisco participación en FITUR 2026. El estado concretó 803 reuniones de negocio y activó 14 eventos institucionales y estratégicos durante la Feria Internacional de Turismo (FITUR), celebrada en Madrid.

La participación de Jalisco generó más de 250 mil visualizaciones digitales y 630 mil impresiones en acciones de promoción, en un evento que registró una asistencia total de 255 mil personas.

Con una agenda estratégica y objetivos concretos, Jalisco reafirma su liderazgo internacional como destino turístico tras su participación en la 46ª edición de la Feria Internacional de Turismo 2026, (FITUR), uno de los encuentros más relevantes del sector a nivel global que congregó a 255 mil asistentes de la industria.

A través de la Secretaría de Turismo de Jalisco y con la participación de los fideicomisos de Turismo de la Zona Metropolitana de Guadalajara, Puerto Vallarta, interior del estado y Costalegre, y de la Oficina de Visitantes y Convenciones, la comisión concretó 803 reuniones de negocios, lo que permitió consolidar alianzas estratégicas orientadas a fortalecer la competitividad y la conectividad aérea en el marco del año del Mundial.

La delegación estatal, encabezada por Pablo Lemus Navarro, Gobernador de Jalisco, Mauro Garza Marín, Coordinador General Estratégico de Crecimiento y Desarrollo Económico, y Michelle Fridman Hirsch, Secretaria de Turismo, implementó en Madrid una estrategia integral con 14 eventos institucionales y estratégicos, incluyendo FITUR WOMAN, un encuentro con agentes de viaje y la participación en el World Travel & Tourism Council (WTTC), que contó con la asistencia de su presidenta, Gloria Guevara.

Entre los eventos más destacados también se encontró AVORIS, que contó con la presencia de Vicente Fenollar Molina, Presidente Ejecutivo de Ávoris Corporación Empresarial.

Respecto a las acciones más relevantes el mandatario estatal, Pablo Lemus Navarro, y la Secretaria Michelle Fridman Hirsch, participaron en los Foros Santander y BBVA, así como en espacios de posicionamiento internacional, incluyendo el Encuentro con Medios de Europa Press.

Se atendieron 48 entrevistas con medios globales, lo que amplía la difusión de Jalisco como destino turístico en mercados prioritarios.

La presencia institucional de Jalisco se reforzó mediante actos protocolarios en los pabellones de Jalisco y de México, además de activaciones en calle ante públicos especializados y público en general, acciones que confirmaron su papel como impulsor de la proyección turística nacional y como destino referente de México en Europa.

En materia de promoción, el estado impactó hasta el momento a más de 250 mil personas a través de una estrategia de comunicación digital con más de 26 creadores de contenido turístico

De forma complementaria, se generaron 230 mil impresiones mediante publicidad exterior dentro del recinto IFEMA y 400 mil impresiones adicionales en ubicaciones tácticas de la ciudad de Madrid.

Como parte de la estrategia experiencial, más de 5 mil personas participaron en activaciones que incluyeron ballet folklórico, floreo de reata, demostraciones de fútbol, presentaciones de bailarines y la participación de creadores de contenido con audiencia en el mercado europeo.

Estas acciones se complementaron con degustaciones de tequila, cerveza y gastronomía jalisciense como eje de la promoción turística, proyectando de manera efectiva la identidad cultural y culinaria de Jalisco. Se sumaron más de 3 mil 500 dinámicas lúdicas con profesionales de la industria.

La agenda contempló la participación en foros de alto prestigio como la México Hospitality Expo, Condé Nast Traveler, donde se reconoció a Jalisco como uno de los mejores destinos internacionales, y el Travel Pop Up. Estas participaciones afianzan al estado como un destino competitivo e innovador.

Uno de los ejes prioritarios fue la promoción de Guadalajara como sede del Mundial 2026, mediante el fortalecimiento de las relaciones institucionales con la FIFA y la presentación de la oferta de hospedaje del estado, que alcanzará 90 mil habitaciones para 2027.

Fridman Hirsch reafirmó el potencial de Jalisco, respaldado por dos de los aeropuertos con mayor conectividad de México y una infraestructura turística de clase mundial, además de destacar las expectativas de afluencia de visitantes para 2026.

“No es de extrañar que Jalisco haya atraído el año pasado 34 millones de turistas, y que esa cifra crecerá este 2026 en doble dígito gracias sobre todo a la Copa del Mundo de futbol, que se jugará entre México, Estados Unidos y Canadá, y que tendrá en Guadalajara una de las sedes principales y la más mexicana. Sólo en Jalisco se espera que la Copa del Mundo atraiga a 3 millones de visitantes”, dijo la Secretaria de Turismo.

Con estas gestiones el Gobierno de Jalisco refrenda su compromiso con la diversificación de mercados emisores y la atracción de turismo de alto impacto.

La exitosa participación en FITUR 2026 marca el inicio de un año estratégico para el estado, que contempla la realización de ITB Americas en Guadalajara y la consolidación de rutas aéreas directas con Europa, con lo que Jalisco avanza en su posicionamiento como el corazón turístico de México.

Puerto Vallarta en FITUR 2026

Puerto Vallarta en FITUR 2026.Con una nutrida representación de su industria turística, el destino fue pieza clave en la promoción del Estado de Jalisco. Representado por una comitiva encabezada por el Gobernador de Jalisco, Puerto Vallarta tuvo una destacada presencia en la Feria Internacional de Turismo (FITUR) de Madrid, España, donde ha promocionado sus incontables atractivos turísticos ante más de 155 mil profesionales de la industria, entre ellos agentes de viajes, representantes de aerolíneas, tour operadores, empresas de tecnología y otros actores importantes del sector.

En esta cuadragésima sexta edición de FITUR -llevada a cabo del 21 al 25 de enero- se ha buscado consolidar la presencia de la marca turística para una mayor conectividad y así incrementar los flujos turísticos y, con lo anterior, la derrama turística en el destino y el PIB estatal; asimismo, se han fortalecido las relaciones comerciales con aliados estratégicos.

Para proyectar la riqueza cultural, artesanal y gastronómica de Jalisco en el mercado global, el Gobierno del Estado, a través de la Secretaría de Turismo, desplegó una agenda estratégica de alto nivel a lo largo del evento.

Michelle Fridman Hirsh, Secretaria de Turismo, subrayó la relevancia estratégica de esta participación, y destacó que Jalisco no sólo posee una infraestructura de vanguardia con los dos aeropuertos mejor conectados del país, sino que su mayor fortaleza reside en su diversidad.

**Puerto Vallarta en FITUR 2026 Michelle Fridman Hirsh**

Puerto Vallarta tuvo una participación histórica con una delegación conformada por numerosos miembros de su industria turística, entre ellos los hoteles Almar, Casa Carmen, Eloísa, El Pescador, Emperador, Hotel Rosita, Las Palmas by the Sea, Marriott, River Park Hotel, The Westin, Tropicana y Velas Resorts, así como la DMC Procesa y proveedores de experiencias River Park y Mantamar Beach Club con su oferta de eventos.

Así, se conformó una delegación bien representada, encabezada por el Gobernador, la Secretaria de Turismo, autoridades municipales, Grupo Aeroportuario del Pacífico, CANIRAC, empresarios, miembros del comité técnico y representantes del Fideicomiso de Turismo de Puerto Vallarta, para de manera coordinada generar acuerdos y alianzas.

En conjunto, se fortalecieron las alianzas en mercados como Canadá, Estados Unidos, España, Inglaterra, Polonia, Portugal, República Checa, Colombia y Paraguay, dando continuidad a negociaciones de conectividad con mercados clave de Europa y buscando hermanamiento de ciudades.

A lo largo del evento, se tuvieron más de 60 reuniones con socios comerciales –mayoristas, consorcios, bancos de camas, líneas aéreas, OTAs y agencias de viajes– y también activaciones dirigidas a consumidor final para invitarlos a Jalisco, sede mundialista donde jugará la selección española. Asimismo, se sostuvieron encuentros con más de 300 agentes de viajes convocados por el socio W2M y con medios especializados en turismo.

El ser sede mundialista le dio gran visibilidad a Jalisco, misma que fue aprovechada con numerosas activaciones, un gran stand dentro de la feria y una fuerte representación de sus delegados, atendiendo a diversos segmentos como placer, lujo, circuito, LGBTQ+, deportivo, cultural y de aventura.

Como pieza fundamental de la delegación de Jalisco, la participación de Puerto Vallarta en FITUR 2026 estuvo encaminada a tener impacto en el destino a partir de junio por la fiebre mundialista y finales de año por su gran atractivo turístico y conectividad.
