River in front of Puerto Vallarta, Mexico

Two people stand on a low pedestrian bridge over a still river. The river reflects the town buildings that sit on the right riverbank.Puerto Vallarta is a port town on Mexico's west coast. It is a popular port of call for cruise ships and has developed a vibrant tourism industry. The town is celebrated for its constant tropical weather as well as its beaches and adjoining islands. Recently, pollution from inadequate city sewage capabilities has caused health problems with its coastal waters, leading to a downturn in tourism.
