State and municipal authorities have cut the ribbon on Jorullo Point, a new lookout viewpoint in the Puerto Vallarta jungle reached by a 200-meter-long suspension bridge raised more than 100 meters above the ground.

Puerto Vallarta received five 3rd-place (bronze) medals in five categories in the 9th annual Travvy Awards held Thursday, November 2 at the Greater Fort Lauderdale Convention Center in Florida.

As expected, former Mexico City Mayor Claudia Sheinbaum, 61, was selected as the ruling Morena Party candidate for the 2024 presidential election.

MAY FIESTAS

The Fiestas de Mayo Puerto Vallarta 2023 are just around the corner and it is time to start preparing the plans to enjoy this celebration on the Mexican Pacific coast.

Eighteen holiday makers on their way from Guadalajara to a short break in the Pacific coastal town of Rincon de Guayabitos died when their bus careened into a ravine on one of the most dangerous sections of highway in Western Mexico.

The El Monteon (north of Lo de Marcos) to El Capomo segment of the Jala-Vallarta autopista (highway) opened last year, and has already made for a reduction in time and an increase in safety for travelers. But it was still a grind, getting the rest of the way to Banderas Bay.
