Puerto Vallarta Rentals Blog

We tracked every peso we spent living in Puerto Vallarta, Mexico and averaged it out to share our monthly cost of living in Puerto Vallarta. Is the total more expensive than you expected? Less expensive? Puerto Vallarta is a very popular beach destination for Americans and Canadians, but most people flock to the all-inclusive resorts that costs thousands of dollars per week. What if you could stay for a whole month, for a fraction of the cost, but with less luxury? Do you think it would be worth it to travel to Puerto Vallarta still?

In this video, we’ll show you how far we were able to push our backpacker budget in Puerto Vallarta. Some parts of life here are really affordable, and others are surprisingly more expensive than what we pay in Canada (I’m looking at you, gas and dog food ?). While we go through this budget with you, we take you around the city of Puerto Vallarta to show you what life is really like here (off the resorts of course!). We try some a Mexican breakfast dish called chilaquiles for the first time, climb to Hill of the Cross Viewpoint, grab some groceries, give you an Air BnB tour, take you to our favourite running spot, and show you the best beach for sunsets in Puerto Vallarta.

All the while, we’ll be sharing the cost breakdown of our life here, including the following categories: eating out, activities, transportation, accommodation, groceries, miscellaneous, and dog costs. For our travel and work needs, Puerto Vallarta has been a great getaway. The cost of living in Puerto Vallarta isn’t as low as many Asian countries we have traveled to, but it’s still affordable in many ways. We hope you stick around until the end of the video to hear what an entire month costs!

======================

Hey there! We are Nicole and Mico and in March 2021, we quit our jobs, sold our belongings, and began traveling the world! We never thought we’d be making travel vlogs on YouTube, but after realizing that we had a unique opportunity to share our adventure and make the world feel more familiar and inviting to anyone watching, we took the leap and picked up the camera! We hope our videos show how wonderful, delicious, and friendly the world can be.
