Puerto Vallarta gained fame partly through the movie The Night of the Iguana, which showcased its breathtaking landscape. Once a thriving tourist spot in the 1960s, it later fell behind other destinations like Cancun and Cabo San Lucas. Despite its beauty, these alternative locations often feel overly commercial. The author seeks a more authentic experience, inspired by the romance between Richard Burton and Elizabeth Taylor, which originally drew the Hollywood elite to Puerto Vallarta, transforming it into a romantic getaway.
In part due to the movie The Night of the Iguana, Puerto Vallarta transformed from a quaint locale to an internationally recognized resort town after the 1960s.
While other Mexican destinations like Cancun and Tulum have become the norm for tourists, Puerto Vallarta still retains a sense of authenticity and rich history.
