| Downtown South |
| The Downtown area of Puerto Vallarta is split into 2 areas, North and South. The River Cuale forms the natural division between these two areas. Downtown South is also referred to as the "Old Town", "The Romantic Zone" or "Los Muertos".
Downtown south has some of the most vibrant flavours Vallarta has to offer; the famous "Los Muertos" beach with it's beachfront restaurants and bars, Vallarta's Gay scene, world-class restaurants, funky bars and great nightclubs. What is unique about all of Vallarta is the fascinating combination of "things Mexican" with "things foreign". In the same street you can experience some of the most exquisite world cuisine only dreamed of in urban cities and traditional Mexican food in one of the many road-side Tacos stands.
