How safe is Puerto Vallarta at night?
You will feel much safer in most parts of Puerto Vallarta than in the United States. Tourist police here are friendly and helpful.

Because Mexico has so much to offer in the way of variety, quality and good prices, shopping has become one of the highlights of a visit to Puerto Vallarta.
