Los Mangos Library is a true community cultural center. If you have never been there, then make some time, stop by and have a look around. It is an amazing, wonderful place filled with activities for people of all ages.

From movies to music, art to poetry, there is definitely something for everyone at the library. The English book section is incredible, with a huge and very wide variety. There is always an area with used books for sale at very affordable prices.

But it is a continual struggle to keep things up and running and we need your support. So! We hope that you will join us, relax at the River Café with some yummy hors d’oeuvres, a cocktail (or two) and music – all for a very worthwhile cause!

Please contact me at pamela(at)healthcareresourcespv.com or 044-322-107-7007 for tickets. We look forward to seeing you there!

Open daily from 8 am to 11:30 pm, The River Café is located at Isla Rio Cuale #4 in downtown Puerto Vallarta. Reservations are recommended and can be made by calling (322) 223-0788 or online at RiverCafe.com.mx.

Mismaloya Beach

The beach at Playa Mismaloya is located in a small cove, just off of Highway 200, a few miles (25 minutes or so) south of Puerto Vallarta.

Mismaloya is the location of the set of the movie, The Night of The Iguana, the John Huston, Richard Burton film that introduced Puerto Vallarta to the gringo world. The old set of the movie is in ruins just to the south of the beach.

[slideshow id=58 w=530 h=325]

Access to the beach is on the south side of the Resort Hotel Barcelo with a dirt road leading down to the beach. Limited parking is available on this road, as are refreshments and the traditional tourist trinket sales. Several palapa-style restaurants are on the beach.

There are pangas (boats) for hire for travel to the more southerly isolated beaches, back to Puerto Vallarta or for snorkeling trips to the Los Arcos rocks, just off shore. The beach is home to several restaurants and trinket peddlers and the hotel Barcelo.

Inland from the beach is the Puerto Vallarta Zoo and El Eden, a restaurant/canopy ride that was the set of the Arnold Schwarzenegger film, Predator.

The beach is crowded from the resort hotel and there is a sharp drop off just off shore.

Access is by car, taxi or bus from Puerto Vallarta.
