A flexible coastal day
Choose a locally arranged coastal outing if sea conditions suit it, or stay on land for beach time, galleries and a leisurely seafood meal.

Before you go
The practical details
Getting around
Arrive in Guadalajara and leave from Puerto Vallarta. Arrange a return excursion to Tequila and a separate intercity road transfer to the coast; neither is included.
Stay a little longer
Add a night in Tequila for a slower agave-country visit, or extra nights in Puerto Vallarta for more downtime. Either choice lengthens this seven-day outline.
Editorial reference only, not a packaged tour. Hotels, transfers, producer visits, tastings, meals and excursions must be selected and arranged separately.
