Things to Do in Puerto Vallarta for Solo Travelers

  • Hike to the Mirador de la Cruz: This viewpoint offers sweeping views of the city and the ocean. It’s a bit of a workout, but it's completely worth it.
  • Explore the Romantic Zone: Enjoy local music or grab a seat at a beachfront bar to soak up the sunset and nightlife.
  • Visit hidden beaches: Take a water taxi or guided excursion to remote gems like Yelapa or Majahuitas.
  • Take a cooking class: Learn how to make authentic Mexican dishes and meet fellow travelers along the way.

Helpful Tips for Traveling Alone to Puerto Vallarta

Booking accommodation near downtown puts you close to the beaches, restaurants, and transportation. Getting around is easy with local buses, taxis, or rideshare apps like Uber, which are safe and reliable. Take on spontaneity with a flexible itinerary, and don’t hesitate to connect with locals or fellow travelers through group tours or online communities. Pack light, bring sunscreen, and get ready to walk, explore, and soak up the sun!

Puerto Vallarta isn’t just a stunning beach town, it’s a place where you can explore freely, connect deeply, and rediscover yourself with every step. Grab your backpack, follow your instincts, and let the journey begin.

Great option
Pools are great. Resort is right on the beach. Convenient to local restaurants and grocery stores! Staff are very friendly! Non all inclusive is a great option because it encourages you to try different local cuisine.
