We visited Puerto Vallarta at the beginning of August 2023, which is considered one of the rainiest months (Sept is also rainy), oops! We still had a good time and were able to do all the excursions we had planned since the rain/thunderstorms usually occurred late afternoon or overnight. Apparently, the best time to visit is between April and June for good weather and affordable prices For our 1 week trip to Puerto Vallarta, we spent the first half at an all-inclusive resort and the second half in an Airbnb so we could explore the local cuisine! I would definitely recommend doing both!

Enjoy this guide for where to eat/what to see and do for a few days in Puerta Vallarta, Mexico... LOCAL style. Our experience was NOT an all-inclusive and I recommend it that way, using some of these suggestions to enjoy local culture and local cuisine.
