PUERTO VALLARTA
With its winding cobblestone streets,
whitewashed homes and seaside vistas,
P.V. feels like a historic European city.
It’s the perfect place for a city walking
tour, where you’ll see Liz Taylor’s love
nest (it’s now a hotel), visit the ornate
Church of Our Lady of Guadalupe,
and kick back with a drink in a quaint
cantina. For a totally different view of
the region, visit the nearby canopy eco
reserve to zipline through lush treetops
some 27 metres off the ground.

CABO SAN LUCAS
With its towering cliffs, surfable waves
and farm-to-table cuisine, Cabo has
become a playground for the rich and
famous. But the real stars of region are
the majestic whales, which migrate
around Cabo every year. Six species
of whales cruise the Pacific waters not
far from shore. Take a whale-watching
cruise to spot gray whales, finbacks,
humpbacks and mighty blue whales,
the largest animals on earth.
mAZATLAN
Mazatlan enjoys hundreds of sunny
days every year—meaning it’s hot, hot,
hot in any season. To spice things up
even more, book a beachfront salsa-
and-salsa workshop: Learn the art
of mixing Mazaritas—margaritas with
a zesty Mazatlan twist—and how to
make authentic Mexican salsa, followed
by a dance lesson in which instructors
teach you the sultry swings and sashays
of salsa dancing.

HUATULCO
Meaning “the place where wood is
adored” in ancient Aztec, Huatulco
has become an eco-tourism paradise.
Surrounded by nine crystalline bays,
the inland area is carpeted with thick
rainforest, ancient ruins and coffee
plantations. For something quite
literally off the beaten path, try a river
float down the meandering Copalita
River. Keep an eye out for shore birds
as you travel through lush vegetation
and unspoiled jungle. »
