Getting to Puerto Vallarta and the Queer Zone

First, you call for to fly into Gustavo Díaz Ordaz International Airport “PVR.” Once there uber or cab from the airport to the Zona Romantica.  As of July 1, Uber is functional in Puerto Vallarta. There are also the official pale airport taxis, but you will remunerate less if you cross the avenue (there is a pedestrian bridge which crosses over the highway from the airport) and accept a yellow local taxi.

There are usually no meters in Puerto Vallarta taxi cabs; rates are determined by zones. Budget

Gay Puerto Vallarta Nightlife

Most of the gay spots are on the level ground where the Rio Cuale (Cuale River) empties into Vallarta's Bandaras Bay. This area, a zone often called South Side or Zona Romantica over last few years, could just as well be called homo heights.

There is a decided alter away from the direct night spots that so dominate the malecon just north of the town center. South of the city center is where gay men and women are found everywhere. And so are their watering holes, clubs and bars.

Vallarta's primary club or disco scene, gay or straight, is pretty tardy in the evening. Don't plan on much happening at these clubs until well past midnight.

Earlier in the evening the happy hour circuit usually starts off at various places where the crowd gathers to watch the sunset.

Before the slow night action gets going, the places to be are the smaller bars along or near Lazaro Cardenas Street, and also Olas Altas Street.

Olas Altas Street, a marvelous side-walk café strewn strip of land where the mountains are closest to the beach, is where everyone walks.
