0:53 - there's a little bakery on the northeast end of that bridge. Absolutely amazing jalapeño and queso stuffed pastries.

Love your videos. PV is my favorite place to be, keep showing her off.

[@jrgomez8133]

PVR is my families hometown, I just started visiting last year with my girlfriend and where going back again in a couple months. Can’t wait to try some of these places that I’ve never seen. Thanks!

Nicely documented. It’s a Perfect arm rest float for low impact relax’n. Just added to the (must float) list.

Hi Aly, I just wanted to say that your videos are amazing. I think you are the reason my wife and I decided to visit Puerto Vallarta. Thank you for all of your insight and advice.

[@alysmalls]

Thanks Greg!

Hi Aly, I found your channel earlier this week when searching packing/luggage tips. I’m really liking the length and style of your videos. Super informative, to the point, and can’t wait to see more. In planning a trip to this part of Mexico I’d love to know your thoughts about staying in Puerto Vallarta, Bucerías or Sayulita… or if to just town hop and stay a night or two in each? Or have a home base and day trip to all others (and more)? Hope to see more of you two in upcoming videos!

[@alysmalls]

Welcome! It really depends how long you're in the area and if you've ever been before. Staying in all 3 is a different experience. We like to start off in Bucerias as it's quiet and chill, then it's nice to spend a couple more lively days in Sayulita, which is busier but a fun energy. Or head to PV for a few days, we like staying in Romantic Zone or centro where there's lots going on.

I was so excited that Chacala made your list! My 80 year old parents have been visiting Chacala for the past 15 years... I've been lucky to visit 5 times and always have a great time! Whale watching was a huge highlight this year! Thanks for the great content.

[@alysmalls]

Awesome! I'm planning to do a full feature video on Chacala

[@Timetraveler1111MN]

Any other things that you would suggest to do that you really loved definitely excited to see the whales I think they’re beautiful and sacred sending love to the whales in the sea

[@alysmalls]

@Jody Hakala Yes, whale watching, the natural hot springs, botanical gardens, a walking taco tour, hike to los colomitos, hike up to the mirador de la cruz viewpoint, crocodile sanctuary, butterfly sanctuary. My part 2 video is coming out later today as well :)

[@amyswann2911]

@@Timetraveler1111MN whale watching with Oscar in Chacala is the best! This year we saw a baby and both parents breach in unison! We also took a tour to the Marietas Islands and saw Blue Footed Boobies!

[@joanneprairiegirltravel6219]

Excellent Video! Must check out Chacala it looks like a beautiful place. We hired a driver to take us to San Sebastián... great town. We at lunch at Hotel Boutique Villa Nogal, felt like you were in France...and the view from the restaurant was amazing. The owner of the hotel also has a chocolate factory down the road and a store in Bucerias.

[@zeigs23]

Hi ... where / how did you hire a driver?

[@1ktron]

Great video

[@tabertooth9]

Where's the video on the hot springs?

[@Timetraveler1111MN]

Hey sweetheart I gave you a thumbs up and I subscribed a while back and I’m glad I did because I am getting a lot of great information about this place in Puerto Vallarta we were just gonna sit on the beach the whole time and now I’m learning all these wonderful things like seeing whales and hiking to make a waterfall and swimming in a hot spring and making a chocolate bar after learning about the chocolate process of the ancient Mayans that is so fantastic I really love the ancient rooms too so I’m hoping we can find those but I don’t know if they have any out there. 💚 🍀🫒♻️ Sending you green heart gratitude love and prosperity from me and my husband.

[@venza907]

Do you need a rental car? or can you get there by bus/taxi?

[@fjhumphries]

omg! love this video. what city are those hot springs in?

[@alysmalls]

Nuevo Ixtlan, about 1.5 hours from PV, closer to Bucerias

[@rachelbaez7459]

Hi! I just came across your video. I would love to know how was your experience in Puerto Vallarta my bf wants to go for his bday in June.

[@alysmalls]

Puerto Vallarta is one of my favorite cities to visit!

[@raquelraya5391]

What is the name of this tour? Who did you go through?

[@alysmalls]

Which one are you referencing? There are 4 different ones mentioned in the videos - I book most through Viator, and left links in the description to the tour page

[@byriskitchen4702]

Hey Aly! What was the cost of the entire tour per person?

[@esdrasmedeles252]
