Puerto Vallarta Rentals Blog

Time has come to retake the travel plans that remained paused. Puerto Vallarta invites you to revive the charm of Mexican traditions and natural wonders walking along the Malecon splashed with art, absorbing the cultural legacy of its people, submerging in beach paradises amidst tropical jungles and discovering the waterfalls and rivers that are scattered in the Sierra Madre range mountains. Let the hospitality of the Friendliest City in the world take care of the rest. Puerto Vallarta is ready to welcome you.

Revive your desire to travel.

Welcome to Puerto Vallarta Mexico!

This video tour of Puerto Vallarta supplements our Tour From Home event we held live (and for free!) on our Facebook Page and YouTube Channel.

We’re often asked: Is Mexico safe to travel or can you visit Puerto Vallarta? The answer is yes. We relocated to Mexico from the US because we felt it was a safer option. We talk more about traveling to Mexico during the pandemic here: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=rIF0in2Ejkg&t=369s

While the replays of Tours From Home reside inside our Patreon community, we wanted to share this video tour with you.

Unfortunately, the global health crisis has forced us to hunker down for the foreseeable future, but we will not be deterred.

We are traveling vicariously through some of our backlog of video footage and inviting everyone to join us live on our Facebook or YouTube channel every Saturday at 10 a.m. PT, for a while at least. We have upcoming tours to Antigua, Tikal, Athens and more. We hope to see you there.

Hi, We’re Kim and Way, two over-50 travelers that packed up our jobs and hit the road to see the world.

We’ve been living a life well-traveled since early 2018.

And later that year, on top of the Great Wall of China, we decided to challenge ourselves to slow travel to 60 countries by 2024 – the year Kim turns 60. We’re calling it 60×60.

La Parroquia de Nuestra Señora de Guadalupe – https://pvmx.net/ParroquiaGpe – es un ícono de Pto. Vallarta, domina la ciudad y es uno de los símbolos y puntos de referencia favoritos en la ciudad, la encontrarás en fotos, postales, playeras, logotipos y mucho más.

Si has estado en Puerto Vallarta, de seguro la has visitado, si vas a visitar la ciudad, no te olvides de agregarla a tu lista de cosas para hacer en PV. No sólo es para tus fotos del recuerdo, es uno de los monumentos más importantes de la ciudad y es el centro espiritual de los fieles Católicos de área.

Siempre hay actividad cerca y alrededor de la Iglesia, las campanas suenan 15 y 30 minutos antes de cada servicio.

En 1902, la diócesis de Tepic autoriza la construcción del templo en el pueblo. Los cimientos de la iglesia se iniciaron en 1903, aunque en ese momento ahí ya existía una pequeña capilla dedicada a la Virgen de Guadalupe, hay que acordarse que el pueblo se fundó un 12 de Diciembre (ver historia de Vallarta). En 1915 el padre Francisco Ayala llegó al pueblo y él, con algo de visión, sugirió que se necesitaría un templo mayor al que se había diseñado.

La construcción de la Iglesia misma se inició en 1930, iniciando el domo, para el año 1940 el edificio estaba completamente terminado excepto las dos torres. El coro se estrenó el 12 de Diciembre de 1951, junto con un órgano Hammond y aunque se habían propuesto terminar la torre principal para la misma fecha, no se logró hasta 1952.

Para coronar el edificio y su torre principal, qué mejor que una corona que fue puesta en 1965, ésta fue bosquejada, igual que la torre que la sostiene, por el cura párroco Don Rafael Parra Castillo y diseñada y esculpida por José Esteban Ramírez Guareño.

La iglesia misma, no una catedral, como muchos la conocen (no la preside un obispo), no es un diseño arquitectónico sofisticado, es una mezcla de todo tipo de estilos.

La corona original del templo fue dañada por el tiempo y la erosión, fue restaurada en 1981. Durante el terremoto de Colima del 9 de octubre de 1995 que en Vallarta se sintió de grado 6, la corona fue totalmente destruida. La actual corona esculpida, en 2009, por el famoso artista de Jalisco, Carlos Terres.

Puerto Vallarta’s Parish “Nuestra Señora de Guadalupe” – https://pvmx.net/OurLadyofGuadalupe – is a city icon, it dominates Vallarta’s downtown skyline and is one of the favorite symbols and landmarks of the city, both in photos, shirts, logos and postcards.

If you’ve been to Vallarta, you have surely visited it, if you are to visit the city, add it to your list of things to do in town, it not only is great for your souvenir photos, you’ll get a glimpse of one of the most important monuments of the city and the spiritual center of the Catholics in town (religion in Vallarta).

There’s always activity around and within the church, the church bells are rung by the sextants 30 and 15 minutes prior to each service, but it reaches almost a level of frenzy in the 12 days of Our Lady of Guadalupe Festival (also known as Feast of Guadalupe), held every year from December 1st to the 12th.

The foundations of the church were started in 1903, but at the time there was already a small chapel there dedicated to Virgin Guadalupe. In 1915 father Francisco Ayala arrived and he, with foresight, suggested that a bigger temple than the one that had been designed, be built instead.

To “crown” the Parish, what better than a crown. It was placed on the main tower in 1965 (based on the city historian, Carlos Munguía Fregoso) and was sketched by the priest Rafael Parra Castillo, the same person who designed the tower. The original crown was designed and sculpted by José Esteban Ramírez Guareño in 1965.

Under father Ramirez’s supervision, both the front side and lateral towers were finally finished in 1987 and what we know as the Our Lady of Guadalupe church was finally ready.

The church itself, not a cathedral, as many name it (it’s not presided by a Bishop), is not really a sophisticated architectural design, it’s a mix of styles that is result of the different parish priests’ tastes and ideas that appeared along the way.

The original crown on the church was damaged by weather and erosion and was restored in 1981. On October 9th, 1995 it fell off and was destroyed by a strong earthquake in Colima.
Now replaced with a crown sculptured by the famous Jaliscan artist, Carlos Terres, read more about the crown itself.
