“Puerto Vallarta impulsa la conectividad marítima hacia Islas Marías: Nuevo capítulo para el turismo sustentable”
La Secretaría de Marina, a través de la empresa paraestatal “Turística Integral Islas Marías”, informa que este 27 de agosto se llevó a cabo una conferencia de prensa en la Administración del Sistema Portuario Nacional de Puerto Vallarta (ASIPONA), donde se anunció de manera oficial la apertura de zarpes turísticos desde Puerto Vallarta hacia el Centro Turístico Islas Marías, programada para iniciar en el año 2026.
El anuncio contó con la participación del Almirante Retirado Juan Ortiz Guarneros, Director General de la ASIPONA Puerto Vallarta; el Contralmirante Retirado Rafael Gómez Conejo, Director General de Turística Integral Islas Marías; el Contralmirante Genaro García Cetina, Jefe de Estado Mayor de la Décima Segunda Zona Naval; el Almirante Retirado Ubaldo Gómez Rodríguez, Titular de la Capitanía Regional de Puerto Vallarta; la Licenciada Alejandra Cornejo, Secretaria de Turismo Municipal; así como José Luis Villaseñor, representante de la Secretaría de Turismo del Estado de Jalisco, quienes destacaron este paso como un impulso decisivo para la conectividad marítima.
Se destacó que el primer zarpe oficial desde Puerto Vallarta se realizará en el marco del evento deportivo internacional “Take Over by Ranman Valoran”, donde los transbordadores “Islas Marías I” e “Islas Marías II” trasladarán a 365 turistas hacia el archipiélago.
Con esta acción, el Centro Turístico Islas Marías reafirma su papel como un destino único en México, donde la historia, naturaleza y deporte, se consolida como un referente del turismo sustentable y de experiencias únicas.
La nueva ruta marítima desde Puerto Vallarta permitirá que más visitantes nacionales e internacionales tengan acceso a este patrimonio natural y cultural, y al mismo tiempo posiciona a las Islas Marías como un nuevo destino deportivo de clase internacional, capaz de atraer competencias y experiencias turísticas vinculadas al deporte y la aventura.
Asipona informó que la delegación de la empresa turística recorrió las instalaciones para verificar que Puerto Vallarta cumple con las condiciones para ofrecer un servicio de calidad y seguridad en la ruta planificada.
La autoridad portuaria también anunció que se han llevado a cabo diversas reuniones de trabajo y prácticas operativas para hacer realidad el establecimiento de esta ruta, y esperan anunciar pronto las características de la nueva oferta turística.
Cabe destacar que en junio pasado, la Secretaría de Turismo Federal (SECTUR) y TURIIMAR firmaron un convenio de colaboración para el uso no exclusivo de la marca México, con el fin de posicionar a las Islas Marías como un destino turístico sostenible de alto valor cultural. El convenio busca promover un turismo responsable, inclusivo y transformador, alineado con el Plan México 2025-2030.
Puerto Vallarta contará con una ruta a las Islas Marías; el acceso al nuevo destino turístico se realizará en una antigua prisión. Se avanza en los estudios para inaugurar la ruta marítima desde Puerto Vallarta a las legendarias Islas Marías, actualmente accesibles solo desde San Blas y Mazatlán.
Ubicada aproximadamente a 130 km del territorio continental de México, María Madre abarca aproximadamente 145 km² y forma parte de una reserva natural de cuatro islas, actualmente administrada por la Armada de México.
Puerto Vallarta avanza en el proyecto y los estudios para convertirse en el tercer destino con ruta directa al nuevo desarrollo turístico de las Islas Marías, actualmente accesible solo desde San Blas, Nayarit, y Mazatlán, Sinaloa.
Se han llevado a cabo diversas reuniones de trabajo y prácticas operativas para hacer realidad el establecimiento de una ruta marítima que conecte Puerto Vallarta con las Islas Marías. Se espera que próximamente se anuncien las ofertas, promociones y características de este nuevo destino turístico.
Cabe recordar que, ante los problemas de hacinamiento en las cárceles mexicanas, el traslado de reclusos a las Islas Marías se reanudó en abril de 2005, con el objetivo de aumentar la población (reclusos y personal) a aproximadamente 3,000 personas.
El archipiélago es actualmente un área protegida bajo la Secretaría de Medio Ambiente y Recursos Naturales. En 2010, la UNESCO la declaró Reserva de la Biosfera debido a su flora y fauna endémicas, que conforman un ecosistema muy frágil con arrecifes de coral, coloridos moluscos, más de 21 especies de tiburones y 10 variedades de rayas. Por lo tanto, la isla no está destinada a visitantes masivos, sino a amantes de la naturaleza y al turismo académico.
La nueva repoblación del territorio federal se lleva a cabo bajo el concepto de protección ecológica y conservación del entorno natural. La única isla habitada sigue siendo la Isla María Madre.

El 16 de diciembre de 2022, el presidente Andrés Manuel López Obrador inauguró el Centro Turístico Islas Marías en la Isla María Madre, que hasta ahora solo se puede visitar los fines de semana y por mar desde Mazatlán y San Blas. La apertura de una ruta desde Puerto Vallarta sería una nueva alternativa para acceder a este destino único.

¿Qué son las Islas Marías hoy en día? Islas Marías: el “Alcatraz mexicano” que se transformó en… Islas de cine
Historia Las Islas Marías fueron clausuradas como complejo penitenciario en marzo de 2019 por decreto presidencial. El gobierno mexicano tomó esta decisión debido a los altos costos de mantenimiento, las dificultades para realizar investigaciones científicas en el sitio y los daños causados por el huracán Willa en 2018. Además, el modelo penitenciario, vigente desde 1905, se consideró disfuncional y violaba los derechos humanos de los reclusos y sus familias. El complejo se transformó en un centro cultural y una reserva ecológica.

The most popular group for visitors to encounter are the Huicholes who are distinguished by their colorful dress, embroidered manta cloth clothing, and plumed hats. They are also known for their elaborate bracelets, rings and necklaces made of crystal beads that also shape their vision of the universe.
Also known as Wixaricas —Children of the Sun— the Huicholes are truly fascinating people, each one making a moral promise to visit the five sacred places of their faith in their lifetimes, one of which is the Tatei Amara —White Rock—, found in the historic port of San Blas.

To Time Share? or Not To Time Share? That is the questions!? advantages? Inconvenient?
I know! I know! It is not for every one. As a permanent resident and have no need for one, I have interviewed a number of people who like it and even have more then on!? As you arrive, you get immediately offered a presentation at the airport, at your hotel that has time share, and or sales stands, restaurants, tour operators, all over the place.
To Time Share? or Not To Time Share? That is the questions!?
Advantages of a Timeshare
Guaranteed Vacation Time You lock in vacation accommodations each year, which can help you prioritize time off. Cost Predictability Once purchased, annual costs are typically limited to maintenance fees, which can be more affordable than booking premium resort stays each year. Quality of Accommodations Timeshares are often in well-maintained upper level resorts, with amenities like pools, kitchens, and family-sized suites.
Exchange Networks Programs like RCI or Interval International let you trade your location/week for other destinations around the world. No Property Maintenance You get the vacation property experience without needing to deal with repairs, cleaning, or upgrades.
To Time Share? or Not To Time Share? That is the questions!?
Inconveniences / Downsides
High Initial Cost Timeshares can cost $10,000–$50,000+ upfront, not including annual maintenance fees (which often rise over time). Limited Flexibility Some timeshares are locked into a specific week or season. Even “points-based” systems can have limited availability at popular times. Difficult to Sell The resale market is weak — many people struggle to sell or even give away their timeshare. Ongoing Maintenance Fees These can cost hundreds or thousands of dollars each year, even if you do not use the property.
Pressure Sales Tactics Timeshare presentations can be aggressive, pushing people to sign on the spot without full understanding.
Usage Restrictions Booking windows, blackout dates, and required advanced planning can make spontaneous travel harder.
To Time Share? or Not To Time Share? That is the questions!?
Should You Get One?
Consider a timeshare if:
You vacation every year without fail. You prefer going to the same destination or enjoy structured travel. You are okay with upfront costs and ongoing fees. You understand the contract and do not expect to sell it for a profit.
Avoid a timeshare if:
You value flexibility and spontaneous travel. You do not travel every year. You can not commit long-term or are not sure about your future vacation habits. You are debt-averse or uncomfortable with hidden fees.
To Time Share? or Not To Time Share? That is the questions!?
If you default on a loan you took out to purchase a timeshare, the lender will try to collect their money, and your credit report will likely be affected. “The lender doesn’t care if you bought a timeshare,”
To do this, you must send a cancellation letter to the company that manages the timeshare contract, following all legal requirements. The cancellation letter must comply with several laws to be valid, so it’s best to let a real estate attorney, like me, draft it for you. https://nitrogenwealth.com/blog/timeshare-cancellation-guide/
Nor an options for people with long stays of several months.

The iconic Mirador de la Cruz, one of Puerto Vallarta’s most iconic landmarks, will undergo a major renovation project with an investment of over 18 million pesos. This project, funded by the Puerto Vallarta Tourism Trust and the Government of Jalisco, seeks to strengthen the tourism infrastructure and improve the visitor experience. The initiative, which was announced by Mayor Luis Ernesto Munguía this morning, will not only revitalize a historic space, but also prepare it for an even greater transformation.
The iconic Mirador de la Cruz Renovation
The Mirador de la Cruz sits atop Cerro de la Cruz, a place that has long been a landmark for locals and visitors. Before the construction of a formal lookout point, the site was simply a cross and a space for contemplation, known for its panoramic views of Banderas Bay, the historic center, and the surrounding majestic mountains.
Over the years, it has become a popular challenge for athletes and a pilgrimage site for those seeking a spectacular view of the city. However, it is constantly abandoned, suffering from vandalism and deterioration.
The iconic Mirador de la Cruz Renovation
The comprehensive rehabilitation works to be carried out will not only beautify the area but also lay the groundwork for large-scale projects. These improvements are expected to facilitate the construction of a new cable car that will descend to the Malecón, offering a quick and scenic access route. This attraction, the mayor revealed, is currently in the study phase for its implementation.
In addition, the existing funicular, a vertical means of transportation that helps people ascend and descend the steep slope, will be repaired, improving its functionality and accessibility.
The iconic Mirador de la Cruz Renovation
With this investment and the vision for future projects, Puerto Vallarta seeks to consolidate Mirador de la Cruz as a world-class destination, attracting more national and international visitors and boosting the region’s tourism dynamic.
In addition, the mayor said that the project for a giant, permanent Ferris wheel remains in place, and plans will be made to install it. It could be in the downtown area, to complement the Malecón, which will also be renovated, and the cable car.

The Isthmus of Tehuantepec Interoceanic Corridor (CIIT) is an infrastructure and logistics platform project in southern Mexico that connects the Pacific and Atlantic Oceans through a rail, port, and highway system. Its objective is to boost the economic development of the south of the country by creating industrial zones and promoting global trade, linking the ports of Salina Cruz (Oaxaca) and Coatzacoalcos (Veracruz). The project is under the control of the Ministry of the Navy (SEMAR) and seeks to be an alternative to the Panama Canal for the transportation of goods and passengers.
Components and Operation
Railway and Port Infrastructure: The CIIT includes the rehabilitation of railways, the modernization of the ports of Salina Cruz and Coatzacoalcos, and the construction of complementary infrastructure.
Development Hubs for Well-being: Industrial zones are established at strategic points along the corridor to attract investment and generate employment opportunities in sectors such as automotive, pharmaceutical, and agro industrial.
Connections to other projects: The corridor is planned to connect with projects such as the Maya Train in Palenque and Puerto Chiapas to form a broader transportation network in southeastern Mexico.
Objectives and Impact Economic Development of Southern Mexico: The project seeks to boost the economy of the country’s south-southeast region, which has historically lagged behind.
Facilitation of Global Trade: By offering a shorter route between the two oceans, the corridor seeks to become a strategic gateway for international trade.
Job Creation: The creation of industrial zones and improved connectivity have the potential to generate thousands of jobs for the local population.
Key Aspects Military Control: Management of the project was delegated to the Ministry of the Navy, which has raised concerns about the militarization of the region and potential social tensions.
Environmental Impact: The project recognizes the risk of negatively impacting the biodiversity of the region, which is considered one of the richest in the country.

“Jalisco es un estado que nos representa a todos como mexicanos, pues evoca perfectamente la esencia de nuestro país. Jalisco es la diversidad de México, desde la hermosa Costalegre (…) también es montaña, Jalisco es valles, haciendas, zonas arqueológicas, el lago más grande de México, 12 Pueblos Mágicos como Tequila, donde se produce evidentemente la bebida espirituosa que nos hace famosos en todo el mundo”, aseguró Fridman Hirsch.
Y añadió que “Jalisco también es esta gran ciudad en la que hoy estamos. Una gran ciudad tradicional y cosmopolita a la vez, que también está rodeada por rutas del tequila, rutas de la raicilla y también del vino. ¿Por qué no? Porque aquí también en Jalisco, como si nos faltara algo, estamos produciendo vino y vamos a echarle muchas ganas para tener grandes productos turísticos y enoturísticos”
La agenda, que incluyó experiencias culturales, recorridos gastronómicos y actividades locales, incluye la ceremonia de entrega en la que se premiaron 30 categorías: 13 para hoteles, 13 para restaurantes y 4 para bares, además del galardón Reader’s Choice, votado por el público a través de https://mex-best.mx/

Asipona and TURIIMAR are working together to ensure Puerto Vallarta has this route.
To continue advancing the work to open the Puerto Vallarta-Islas Marías maritime route, authorities from the National Port System Administration (Asipona) of this city and executives from the Islas Marías Comprehensive Tourism Company (TURIIMAR) held a meeting at the port facilities.
Asipona reported that the tourism company’s delegation toured the facilities to verify that Puerto Vallarta meets the conditions to offer quality and safe service for the planned route.
The port authority also announced that various working meetings and operational practices have been held to make the establishment of this route a reality, and they hope to soon announce the characteristics of the new tourist offering.
It is worth noting that last June, the Federal Ministry of Tourism (SECTUR) and TURIIMAR signed a collaboration agreement for the non-exclusive use of the Mexico brand, to position the Marías Islands as a sustainable tourist destination of high cultural value. The agreement seeks to promote responsible, inclusive, and transformative tourism, aligned with the Mexico Plan 2025-2030.
Puerto Vallarta to have a route to the Islas Marías; access to the new tourist destination in a former prison. Studies are advancing to inaugurate the maritime route from Puerto Vallarta to the legendary Islas Marías, currently accessible only from San Blas and Mazatlán.
Located approximately 130 km from the Mexican mainland, María Madre covers approximately 145 km² and is part of a four-island nature reserve currently managed by the Mexican Navy.
Puerto Vallarta is advancing the project and studies to become the third destination with a direct route to the new tourist development of the Islas Marías, currently accessible only from San Blas, Nayarit, and Mazatlán, Sinaloa.
Various working meetings and operational practices have been held to make the establishment of a maritime route connecting Puerto Vallarta with the Marías Islands a reality. The offerings, promotions, and features of this new tourist destination are expected to be announced soon.
It is worth remembering that, in response to the problems of overcrowding in Mexico’s prisons, the transfer of prisoners to the Islas Marías was resumed in April 2005, with the goal of bringing the population (inmates and staff) to approximately 3,000.
The archipelago is currently a protected area under the Ministry of Environment and Natural Resources. In 2010, it was declared a Biosphere Reserve by UNESCO due to its endemic flora and fauna, which form a very fragile ecosystem with coral reefs, colorful mollusks, more than 21 species of sharks, and 10 varieties of rays. Therefore, the island is not intended for mass visitors, but rather for nature lovers and academic tourism.
The new re-population of the federal territory is being carried out under the concept of ecological protection and conservation of the natural environment. The only inhabited island remains Isla María Madre.

What are the Islas Marías today? Islas Marías: the “Mexican Alcatraz” that was transformed into… Islands from the movies
History The Islas Marías were closed as a prison complex in March 2019 by presidential decree. The Mexican government made this decision due to high maintenance costs, the difficulties in conducting scientific research on the site, and the damage caused by Hurricane Willa in 2018. Furthermore, the prison model, in place since 1905, was deemed dysfunctional and violated the human rights of inmates and their families. The complex was transformed into a cultural center and ecological reserve.

Marina Vallarta Holds Golf Tournament to Reinaugurate Its 18 Greens August 16, 2025, 4:18 PM Courtesy of Javier Frías/Quadratín Jalisco PUERTO VALLARTA, Jal., August 15, 2025.- With a lightning tournament, the Marina Vallarta golf course, one of the most emblematic in the region, completed the total renovation of its 18 greens.
Homero Hernández, regional director for the Puerto Vallarta golf courses of the Invired group, highlighted that this reinvestment responds to the need to modernize a space with 36 years of history.
“With this renovation, Marina Vallarta returns to a competitive level. We are the second oldest course in the Bay and we needed a fundamental transformation to remain among the best,” he noted. The work included the removal of old grass, excavation and filling with sand, as well as modifying the drainage. Subsequently, Paspalum Platinum grass was planted, a hybrid variety that tolerates both fresh and salt water, making it ideal for Puerto Vallarta’s environmental conditions.
“This grass not only maintains an impressive green, but also improves the golfer’s experience because it offers greater firmness and more precise ball rolling,” explained Hernández.
The renovation was presented at a special event attended by 50 golfers from the golf and hospitality industries, who were able to experience the course’s new conditions firsthand.
The executive announced that the company will continue investing in Marina Vallarta, focused on renovating the irrigation and drainage system, in order to maintain the course’s competitiveness and relevance within the community. “We want to continue adding value to the Marina Vallarta golf course and ensure it remains a sporting and tourism landmark in the Bay Area,” concluded Hernández.
