One of the most beautiful miles on Earth, Puerto Vallarta’s famous Malecon is a mile-long oceanfront boardwalk that follows the beach and runs along the main street in downtown Puerto Vallarta, Mexico. Originating at Hotel Rosita – the first hotel built in Vallarta in the 1940s - Malecon culminates at a beautiful, open-air theater known as Los Arcos, or The Arches. Designed by local artists, Malecon’s beautiful sculptures reflect Puerto Vallarta’s colorful culture. From Malecon you can enjoy spectacular views of the sand and surf, and experience the glorious sunsets of Banderas Bay!
