Traveling after the pandemic is a personal decision, but it you do here are the best reasons you should travel solo to Puerto Vallarta at least once in your life:

Yes, Puerto Vallarta is safe and welcoming for LGBT travelers. We are the “San Francisco of Mexico.”
Maybe that is way so many ex-pats are calling this their home and live here full or part-time. Puerto Vallarta is considered one of the safest cities to live and visit in Mexico. This according to the results of the most recent National Survey of Urban Public Safety (ENSU), which measures the experiences and perceptions of residents throughout the country. Certainly, there is always the possibility for smaller crimes like pickpocketing, so it’s best to keep your belongings secure and in your eyesight at all times. You don’t need to walk around with tons of cash . Puerto Vallarta’s Tourism Board became the first Mexican destination to join the IGLTA in 2013. Puerto Vallarta  is a preferred LGBTQ  destination in the Americas with an infrastructure that is frequently included in leading media’s gay friendly lists, from Tripadvisor and Lonely Planet to Out Traveler and Passport.

You haven’t enjoyed gay bars and clubs until you have visited Puerto Vallarta.

Music and dancing are important aspects of Mexican culture. Most likely by influence of the ancient civilizations the Aztecs, Mayan and European colonizations. This is very true in thegay  bars and clubs. Puerto Vallarta has the most well developed gay nightlife in Mexico! The first bar opened more than 20 years ago and today more than 25 bars and clubs are operating daily *some until 6 am, each unique and all located in the gayborhood. You will always find a new friend when visiting the bars.

Go out and enjoy the what the Mexican culture has to offer. There are lots of fun places to visit. What happens when you are relaxed? Enjoyable good times. When traveling alone you have more possibilities to meet and involve yourself with strangers than when traveling with friends.

Guys like guys who travel so when you meet someone who has traveled you often become immediately interesting in hearing his stories. You already have a connection. Learning from different cultures and absorbing different ways of life can give you an understanding you can’t get from books. What if you don’t know Spanish? What better way to meet someone by having find someone nearby to ask “How do I say nice to meet you?”
