A walk on the Malecón is a must on a visit to Puerto Vallarta. Lined with art sculptures, a stroll along the pedestrian only walkway provides visitors a chance to slowly take in the beauty of the Bay of Banderas and mix among the people both locals and tourists of the seaside city.

The Big Rock in Bernal, Querétaro State, Mexico
