About Puerto Vallarta:

Puerto Vallarta was selected by CONDE NAST TRAVELER readers as the eighth best destination in the world in their annual "Reader's Choice Awards" in the November 2001 issue, as well as number one international destination because of the "remarkable amiability of the local folk."  Puerto Vallarta was the only destination in Mexico that made the list.  Located on the Western Pacific coast of Mexico in the state of Jalisco, Puerto Vallarta's charm remains largely undiscovered, along with its cobblestone streets, stunning beaches, plentiful marine life, lush Sierra Madre Mountains, exceptional restaurants, fine Gourmet Festival, new golf courses and vibrant art culture.  For more information about Puerto Vallarta, call your travel agent or toll-free at 888-384-6822, or direct at (52) 322 22 41175; fax: (52) 322 22 40915.  Log on at
