Mexico

Weather and Climate:

The average daily high temperature is 86 °F 30 °C; average daily low temperature is 70 °F 21 °C; average daily humidity is 75%. The rainy season extends from mid June through mid October, with most of the rain between July and September. August is the city's wettest month, with an average of 14 days with significant precipitation. Even during the rainy season precipitation tends to be concentrated in large rainstorms. Occasional tropical storms will bring thunderstorms to the city in November, though the month is typically dry. February, March and April are the months with the least cloud cover. Prevailing winds are from the southwest, and most weather systems approaching Puerto Vallarta are consequently weakened as they pass over Cabo Corriente. Thus even during the rainy season Puerto Vallarta's weather tends to be mild compared to other areas along the Mexican Pacific coast. Hurricanes seldom strike Puerto Vallarta. In 2002, Hurricane Kenna, a category 5 hurricane, made landfall about 100 miles 160 km northwest of Puerto Vallarta, and the city suffered some damage from the resulting storm surge. In 1971, Hurricane Lily, a category 1 hurricane, caused serious flooding on the Isla Cuale, prompting the city to relocate all of its residents to the new Colonia Palo Seco.

 * Museums**

There arent alot of museums in Puerto Vallarta
 * BURTON-TAYLOR MUSEUM:** In 1963, Richard Burton and Ava Gardner came to Puerto Vallarta to film ¨”The Night of the Iguana” nearby. Until that point, Puerto Vallarta was a small town of just a few thousand or so inhabitants, with tourism just barely beginning to make an impact. But when Elizabeth Taylor (who was still married to Eddie Fisher at the time) showed up to carry on a very public affair with Burton, the town was swarmed with paparazzi who detailed the goings-on for the world press, and Puerto Vallarta was put firmly on the map.

Burton rented, then later bought a house on the hill above the church. Taylor’s digs were across the street, and soon they built a bridge across the street to make meeting each other easier. Taylor sold the houses, furnishings and all, in 1990 and has never returned.

It’s now a bed-and-breakfast (“Casa Kimberly”), and also a fascinating museum full of memorabilia and stories of Richard Burton and Elizabeth Taylor and the period that marked the launch of Puerto Vallarta as a world-renowned vacation destination. You’ll hear about the dish-smashing arguments; see Burton’s “escape route” for nights of drinking and revelry in town; and learn why the local nuns picketed the house (and why they stopped).

I choice the Las Caletas as my attraction was i thought it would be a nice place to visit and relax on a vacations. Upon arrival at Las Caletas, you can choose between a day of pure relaxation or gentle exploration. If relaxing is on your personal agenda, you can kick back on the beach, relax in the shade on a comfortable hammock or indulge in a therapeutic body massage or facial. As you relax and unwind, the gentle lapping of the surf on the private golden beach beckons you to take a closer look at the calm, clear waters of the isolated cove. Throughout the day, the bilingual eco-guides offer snorkeling, scuba diving and kayaking tours, giving everyone a chance to explore Banderas Bay in a fun and exciting way.
