PUERTO VALLARTA AND RIVIERA NAYARIT ARE MADE FOR ART-LOVERS

If you have an appreciation for art, the region of Puerto Vallarta and Riviera Nayarit is an artistic mecca. Start with a visit to Arte VallARTa Museo in Puerto Vallarta which offers a variety of creative classes covering ceramics, painting, drawing and more. Then make your way down to the Malecon, the seaside promenade. Here, more than 15 open-air sculptures from some of Mexico’s most famous artists are available for viewing, including pieces by Alejandro Colunga, Ramiz Barquet and Sergio Bustamente. Manuel Lepe murals pepper city walls, so don’t forget to bring your camera and snap a few mementos of the bright Huichol motifs. Venture into the little village of Bucerias on the north shore and enjoy art brought to the streets with the Bucerias Art Walk. Over 17 galleries participate at this weekly event, where you can stroll under the palm trees, enjoy a traditional Mexican food sampler and a cool sip of sangria, while discovering the unique art and artists of Nayarit and Jalisco. For guests who would prefer to take home more than memories, tours to visit Huichol beadwork craftsmen in the Sierra Madre mountains in Nayarit can be arranged, giving you the opportunity to find souvenirs to last a lifetime.
