Puerto Vallarta, a famous summertime destination in Mexico, offers a lot of things to do for tourists.

This makes Huanacaxtle a major fishing village in Mexico. When you’re here, the numerous restaurants will entice you with their seafood dishes which you ought to try. If you’re curious about this fishing culture, visit Marina Riviera Nayarit which is a perfect place to enjoy the ocean view. Planning a trip to this town?
