Things To Do
Most of the must-do experiences for Puerto Vallarta tourists are conveniently closer to Boca. It’s a prime location for accessing hiking trails to Colomitos and Las Animas, with much shorter water taxi rides to other south shore villages and beaches. Plus, top-notch ziplining and the world-renowned Vallarta Gardens are just east of Boca.
In addition to the beaches shown, your panga captains can drop you off at a secluded cove and pick you up later. Beach gear and coolers are available from the villa. If you're a beach aficionado, you'll find yourself in absolute nirvana.

Puerto Vallarta
Puerto Vallarta is the ideal destination for those seeking a diverse range of dining and shopping experiences. The vibrant Romantic Zone, i.e. Zona Romántica, isn't just for couples. This vibrant area is lined with cool shops, street vendors, art galleries, restaurants, and bars, making it a popular spot for families, LGBTQ travelers, and everyone in between. However, be prepared to encounter the bustling tourist crowds, a sharp contrast to the tranquility of Boca, where you might be staying to escape such hustle and bustle.
