The 24-mile-wide Banderas Bay, Mexico's largest, has excellent sportfishing, high stakes competitions like the annual Puerto Vallarta International Fishing Tournament held since 1956 drawing anglers from around the globe. With depths of up to two miles, it’s home to sailfish, dorado, marlin, bonita and yellowfin tuna, roostertail, jack cravel, pargo, red snapper and more denizens of the deep, black, blue and striped marlin caught just outside of the bay. Fishing charters are available year-round at all price ranges, accommodating parties from one to one dozen for a half- or full-day of fishing or longer. Bass and other freshwater fishing is also available at lakes in the Puerto Vallarta area and tours can be arranged.

If you don’t know the steps, the rhythm will guide you. The sounds of Latin music, Mariachi, and disco will fill your nights as the city comes alive after sundown.
