Playa Las Animas

If you are looking for isolation, try this beach to the south of Puerto Vallarta, only accessible by boat.

Reviewed By expat326 - San Francisco, United States

Busy beach at spring break. Like other travelers, a short water taxi ride or you can make solo arrangements with one of the boat operators at Boca de Tomitlan. We stopped first at Colomitos but it was really crowded. Next time I would opt for one of the other small beaches nearby, I think Madagascar. Not much shade but enjoyed our swim at Colomitos. Our boat operator returned for us and took us to Las Animas. We really enjoyed our lunch at El Caracol restaurant. There are many places to choose from, but our waiters were really friendly and took good care of us. Compared to Mismaloya or Boca, the food here tasted super fresh, was served hot, nicely seasoned rice and beans and salad as accompaniments to our fish and shrimp dishes. Also the pollo a la plancha was very good and not over-cooked. We were going fishing the next day and hoped to come back and have our fresh catch cooked for as as we saw at one table. But our catch the following day was too small.

Quimixto

Great place for snorkeling south of the city.

Reviewed By RuRuRoams - Meredith, United States

the hike is fun and easy. you trek through the village, across a stream (horses are hanging out and there is a bridge...but the stream is shallow, so enjoy the adventure) and then start following the crevasse like trail to the waterfall. it's a trail that's been carved by horses and mules, so there's quite a bit of horse poop...but that's how you know you're on the right track? :) the reward, at the end, is an idyllic quiet stream beneath a lovely, accessible waterfall with a very cold pool to swim in. there's a little restaurant there with some nice pina coladas and a little shop. you can swim, cool down, and hang out before you trek back down to the beach.

My husband and I have visited 5 times in the last 10 years and have enjoyed each visit more than the previous one! You can hike/ climb in rainforest, swim in a beautiful river, dine on a second floor balcony over looking miles of rainforest and valley enjoying many types of birds. Walk numerous paths leading to lovely orchid greenhouses and displays of native plants. It is a beautiful place to spend several hours. If you eat there, try the vanilla bean mojito, it's a frozen delicious bit of heaven! Don't miss the great gift shop, you're sure to find some treasures there!

Colomitos

Reviewed By timtran_canada - Vancouver, Canada

So beautiful beach. The most beautiful one in Puerto Vallarta. We were hiking 1h through the trail to get to this place but it's worthy! To avoid the crowd, you should go early in the morning. And if you don't want to hike in the hot weather, take the boat taxi (50 pesos each). It's a MUST in PV
