All this contributes to preventing the place from being tampered with, and as a consequence, the place remains almost untouched. The beach is home to splendid palm trees and a whole tropical world which is worth discovering.
3) Watching the Whales and Swimming with Dolphins. After swimming miles and miles in order to give birth to its little babies, hundreds of whales come to the coasts of Puerto Vallarta year after year. These incredible mammals keep on attracting not only foreigners but also locals who want to witness their amazing jumps and melancholic songs, only emitted by the males. At present, different guides take tourists to the best places in order to watch from close these animals. Luckily, a baby whale can come to the boat and you will have the chance of touching it. As regards the dolphins, Puerto Vallarta is home to a dolphinarium where one can learn a lot thanks to its different programs, which enable us to swim around with them, learn about them and also cuddling them. This activity is perfect for animal lovers!
