By

¿Cuál es la mejor playa de Puerto Vallarta? es una de las preguntas más frecuentes que nos hacen los viajeros al llegar al hotel y por eso en este blog te queremos compartir nuestro top 3 de playas que parecen sacadas de un documental.

Las playas de Puerto Vallarta son famosas por sus aguas azul turquesa, sus vibrantes clubes de playa y su abundante flora y fauna, pero este listado está dedicado a aquellos tesoros escondidos del pacífico mexicano, esos pequeños pedazos de cielo que no todos conocen pero que seguramente tendrán un lugar muy especial en tu memoria y en tu feed de Instagram.

PLAYA LAS GEMELAS

Playa_las_gemelas

Comenzamos con la playa “las gemelas”, como seguramente ya te imaginarás son dos pequeñas playas muy similares entre sí, separadas por un muro de piedra y se localizan al sur de Puerto Vallarta. Su belleza radica en la fina arena blanca y suave oleaje de un verde esmeralda brillante y transparente, perfectas para actividades como el snorkeling y el kayak.

Recomendación: lleva tus snacks y suministros como sombrilla, bloqueador y toallas porque no hay tiendas ni vendedores por la zona.

PLAYA COLOMITOS

A continuación tenemos a la playa Colomitos, un auténtico paraíso escondido pues no existen carreteras que conduzcan a esta playa, se oculta entre las montañas de la Sierra Madre y para llegar tendrás que adentrarte en la selva como todo un aventurero.

¿Sabías que Colomitos es también la playa más pequeña de México? Y no es una exageración, cuenta con apenas ¡30 metros de extensión!, es un pequeño tramo de arena fina con una belleza extraordinaria y agua de poca profundidad sumamente cristalina.

Pocos saben que Colomitos cuenta también con una pequeña cascada, no es difícil de encontrar, basta con hacer una breve caminata siguiendo la pequeña corriente que fluye desde las montañas, sin duda el mejor lugar para experimentar la belleza virgen de la bahía de Banderas.

PLAYA MADAGASCAR

Si de maravillas se trata, aquí encontrarás un verdadero tesoro natural, hablamos de playa Madagascar. Esta playa se localiza a unos metros de Colomitos, se caracteriza por tener arenas finas y tersas así como aguas cristalinas en tonos azules, rodeada por una barrera natural de piedra, el sitio ideal para desconectarte del mundo y sentirte en una paradisíaca isla desierta. Al igual que el resto de estos paraísos escondidos, no existe una vía de acceso rápido a este edén, la única forma de llegar es por mar, rentando un taxi acuático o a través de una caminata por la selva al mejor estilo de Indiana Jones.

Te invitamos a descubrir todos los tesoros que posee Puerto Vallarta, Pinnacle Resorts se localiza a solo veinte minutos del sendero de la guacamaya, que es camino que conduce a todas las playas que aquí mencionamos. ¿Qué esperas para escribir tu propia aventura?, con algo de suerte y hasta podrías descubrir un nuevo “paraíso escondido”.

The 3 best beaches in Puerto Vallarta

By

What is the best beach in Puerto Vallarta? is one of the most frequent questions travelers ask us when they arrive at the hotel and that’s why in this blog we want to share our top 3 beaches that seem to be taken from a documentary.

The beaches of Puerto Vallarta are famous for their turquoise blue waters, their vibrant beach clubs and their abundant flora and fauna, but this list is dedicated to those hidden treasures of the Mexican Pacific, those little pieces of heaven that not everyone knows but surely will have a very special place in your memory and on your Instagram feed.

LAS GEMELAS

We start with “las gemelas” the Spanish word for “twins”, as you can surely imagine, they are two small beaches very similar to each other, separated by a stone wall and located south of Puerto Vallarta. Its beauty lies in the fine white sand and soft waves of a brilliant and transparent emerald green, perfect for activities such as snorkeling and kayaking.

Recommendation: bring your snacks and supplies such as an umbrella, sunscreen and towels because there are no shops or vendors in the area.

COLOMITOS

Playa_colomitosNext we have Colomitos beach, a true hidden paradise because there are no roads that lead to this beach, it’s hidden between the mountains of the Sierra Madre and to get there you’ll have to enter the jungle as an adventurer.

Did you know that Colomitos is also the smallest beach in Mexico? And it’s not an exaggeration, it’s barely 30 meters long! A small stretch of fine sand with extraordinary beauty and extremely crystalline shallow water.

Only a few know that Colomitos also has a small waterfall, it is not difficult to find it, just take a short walk following the small stream that flows from the mountains. Without a doubt the best place to experience the unspoiled beauty of Bahía de Banderas.

MADAGASCAR

Playa_MadagascarTalking about wonders, here you’ll find a true natural treasure, we are talking about Madagascar beach. This beach is located a few meters from Colomitos, it’s very well known by having fine and smooth sands as well as crystalline waters in blue tones, surrounded by a natural stone barrier, the ideal place to disconnect from the world and feel in a paradisiac island. Like the rest of these hidden paradises, there is no easy access to this Eden, the only way to get there is by sea, renting a water taxi or through a jungle walk in the best Indiana Jones style.

We invite you to discover all the treasures that Puerto Vallarta has, Pinnacle resorts is located just twenty minutes away from the path of the macaw, which is the path that leads to all the beaches mentioned here.

By

If you are thinking of traveling to Puerto Vallarta or you have already booked your reservation and you are worried about the weather, don’t worry, we are here to tell you that not all is lost.

It’s well known that the rainy and hurricane season begins in Puerto Vallarta in June but this doesn’t have to spoil your plans, since Puerto Vallarta is not facing the open sea, but is located inside Bahía de banderas, the city rarely receives the full impact of these tropical phenomenon, nothing more than a cloudy sky and a few drizzles; Furthermore, these phenomenon frequently goes back to the sea, leaving this little paradise intact.

What is our recommendation?

Mornings are usually the perfect time to enjoy the sun, go to the beach and do outdoor activities. As the day progresses and after having enjoyed the points of interest that the beautiful city of Puerto Vallarta offers, you can relax on the terrace of your balcony, have a cocktail and enjoy magical sunsets, as the clouds become canvases when they are touched by the last rays of sun, a true work of art.

  1. With the arrival of the rainy season, the vibrant colors and tropical foliage stand out, the areas that look dry and sad in winter season come to life, the hills of the Sierra Madre are painted with an intense green as well as the islands and the parks, showing off the exquisite natural wealth of the area.
  2. It is an excellent season to find promotions and discounts such as our summer rate or our breakfast included promotion where if you book directly with us, during your stay from July 1 to September 30, breakfast is on us!

¿Por qué junio es el mes del orgullo?

By

Sabemos que junio es el mes más colorido del año pues trae consigo la llegada de festivales y marchas del orgullo LGBT alrededor del mundo y para la ciudad de Puerto Vallarta es un mes importante ya que en los últimos años se ha sabido posicionar como uno de los destinos más queridos y visitados por la comunidad gay y no solo por la belleza de sus playas sino por la extensa lista de alternativas de entretenimiento orientadas a la población LGBT en su mundialmente famosa “zona romántica”, pero… ¿Por qué junio es el mes del orgullo?

Casi todas las fechas que hoy conmemoramos o conocemos como “días festivos” comenzaron con un conflicto y esta no es la excepción. La historia de porqué junio es el mes del orgullo LGBT tiene sus orígenes en Nueva York a mediados del siglo XX, específicamente en un bar llamado Stonewall Inn, un lugar frecuentado por la comunidad gay. El ser homosexual en esa época era considerado un crimen, razón por la cual la policía de Nueva York realizaba detenciones a gays y transexuales que frecuentaban este establecimiento; sin embargo, la mañana del 28 de junio de 1969 ocurrió algo diferente, por primera vez un grupo de la comunidad LGBT se negaba a ser arrestado. Estuvieron involucradas más de 150 personas y ellos fueron los pioneros en alzar la voz exigiendo respeto y libertad hacia la diversidad sexual; con el tiempo las marchas se fueron haciendo cada vez más grandes y mejor organizadas hasta convertirse en los festivales que conocemos hoy.

Sabemos que el amor tiene muchos colores y Pinnacle Resorts se enorgullece de su sensibilidad y su estricta política no discriminatoria hacia todos sus huéspedes, además de estar localizado de manera estratégica en el corazón de la zona romántica de Puerto Vallarta, a solo unos pasos de las mejores playas, galerías, bares y clubes de la ciudad.

Celebrar el mes del orgullo o pride es celebrar la diversidad y el amor en todas sus formas, te invitamos a celebrar con nosotros, puedes hacer tu reservación a través de la página https://pinnacleresortspv.com/reservations/, estaremos encantados de recibirte. ¡FELIZ MES DEL ORGULLO LGBT!

Why is June Pride Month?

By

We know that June is the most colorful month of the year because of all LGBT festivals around the world and for the city of Puerto Vallarta it’s an important month since it has positioned as one of the most visited destinations for the gay community and not only because of the beauty of its beaches but for the extensive list of entertainment alternatives aimed at the LGBT population in its world famous “romantic zone”, but … Why is June pride month?

Almost all the dates that we commemorate today or know as “holidays” began with a conflict and this is no exception. The story of why June is LGBT pride month has its origins in New York in the mid-20th century, specifically in a bar called Stonewall Inn, a hangout for the gay community. Being homosexual at that time was considered a crime, which is why the New York police made arrests of gays and transsexuals who frequented this establishment; However, on the morning of June 28, 1969, something different happened, for the first time a group from the LGBT community refused to be arrested. More than 150 people were involved and they were the pioneers in raising their voices demanding respect and freedom towards sexual diversity; Over time the marches became bigger and better organized until they became the festivals we know today.

We know that love has many colors and Pinnacle Resorts prides itself on its sensitivity and its strict non-discriminatory policy towards all its guests, as well as being strategically located in the heart of the romantic zone of Puerto Vallarta, just a few steps from the best beaches, galleries, bars and clubs in the city.

Celebrating pride month is celebrating diversity and love in all its forms, we invite you to celebrate with us, you can make your reservation through the web site https://pinnacleresortspv.com/reservations/, we will be very happy to welcome you. HAPPY LGBT PRIDE MONTH!

Sergio Bustamente: El Lado Surrealista del Arte Mexicano

By

Sergio Bustamante es uno de los artistas surrealistas más famosos de México, cuyas esculturas y colecciones de joyería se envían desde su galería principal en Tlaquepaque, Jalisco, a unas 4.5 horas en automóvil desde Puerto Vallarta, a compradores de todo el mundo.

Originario de la ciudad de Culiacán, Sinaloa, Bustamente fue criado por su abuelo, un inmigrante chino llamado José Chong, quien se convirtió en una inspiración de por vida. Cuando tenía nueve años se mudó a Guadalajara, donde motivado por su amor por la pintura y las diferentes formas en que los espacios pueden entrelazarse, comenzó a cursar la carrera de arquitectura. Pero pronto se dio cuenta de que las bellas artes eran su verdadera pasión y con tan solo 17 años presentó su primera exposición pública. Posteriormente se mudó a Ámsterdam para continuar su profesión como artista, perfeccionando su oficio en la ciudad holandesa durante dos años antes de regresar a México.

La escultura en bronce es el medio por el que Sergio Bustamente es más conocido. Su obra más famosa, En Busca de la Razón se encuentra en el Malecón, la emblemática pasarela frente al mar en Puerto Vallarta donde encontrarás una grandiosa exposición de arte público. En Busca de la Razón se dio a conocer en 1999 y es una de las esculturas más fotografiadas del Malecón de Puerto Vallarta. La escultura es una gran escalera de bronce que mide aproximadamente 18 metros de alto, y es lo suficientemente ancha y resistente como para que los visitantes puedan subirla para tomar fotografías, y muestra a dos niños pequeños subiendo mientras su madre les suplica que bajen de manera segura.

Sergio Bustamente ha dicho simplemente que esta escultura está inspirada en la “libertad”, pero como toda su obra, la interpretación es siempre la de la imaginación del espectador. Habla con tu Concierge para obtener más información sobre esta famosa escultura y otras sugerencias culturales de Puerto Vallarta.
