Nuevo Vallarta is not a great city of overwhelming proportions; on the contrary, it is a small tourist development in the Bay of Banderas, the same that can be toured with no hurry nor inconveniences while enjoying the marine panorama and the gentle breeze; two powerful reasons to feel encouraged to walk and discover the charms of this destination in the State of Nayarit.

If you do not feel like walking, you can always rely on the vehicles offering taxi service, or if you prefer, you can rent a car to move around more comfortably across the bay. However, you can feel assured that you will not have to face a traffic jam so common in the large cities in here. Driving in Nuevo Vallarta is or can be a true pleasure.

A more economic alternative and not free of a dose of adventure, is to travel on the buses (trucks in the language of the Mexicans) that link Nuevo Vallarta with its famous neighbour, Puerto Vallarta, in the State of Jalisco. Prices are very adequate for travellers who wish to save a few pesos. It is a worthwhile experience.
