Los Cocos to Puerto Vallarta







We hoped to get to Bara De Navidad today but after 4 hours we had enough. Puerto Vallarta has really changed in the past 10 years. There is a four lane freeway into the city, new hi-rise hotels going up ocean side and huge shopping centres like Costco, Home Depot and a mall.



Just on the south end of P.V. we found a tourist centre where a man told us it was another 3 hours to Bara De Navidad. He suggested a hotel called Casa Iguana down the road. It turned out to be really nice. We walked to the ocean and rested at the pool for the afternoon. Our hotel neighbors are from Lethbridge. They said they used Sell off Vacations and got a flight to P.V. for $99 each. The hotel is $75 with two bedrooms, kitchenette, pool and nice restaurant. It's a really quiet place and yet close enough to P.V.
