Puerto Vallarta Information & Events
A 2009 PBS NEWSHOUR REPORT:
Thousands of Americans are increasingly traveling to resort towns like Puerto Vallarta, in Mexico, not for vacation, but for the cheap health care. In many cases, reports Ray Suarez, for care they couldn’t afford in the United States.
In Part 2 of this series on Mexico, Ray Suarez examines how the government is lifting people out of poverty and inspiring nations throughout the world to do the same.
We have chartered the Bora Bora for New Years Eve.
What better place to watch the Fireworks and Festivities than from a gigantic trimaran in the bay off the malecón. As the new year progresses, we will tour the coastline up to the fireworks that happen an hour later in Nuevo. This is the best seat in town.
Pick-up is by water taxi at the Playa Muertos pier starting at 9 pm. Drop-off is at the same place around 1:30 am. The Traveling Band will be providing the live music while we cruise the bay and there will be an open bar the whole time you are on the boat. Que?Pasa is not an ordinary tourist bar and this will not be an ordinary booze cruise.
A complimentary bottle of champagne will be given to each passenger.
The price is 650 pesos. Reservations (with deposit) are necessary. Come on in to Que?Pasa (see map) and sign-up with one of our bartenders.
We will also have a dinner special on the Ribs or Filet Mignon for 100 pesos if you would like to eat at Que?Pasa before we take-off for the pier.
Help us make this event a success and we will start doing it every year. Merry Christmas and a Happy New Year to everyone.

One of the best ideas to come along in years. Use the roof level of the Juarez Parking lot as a club on New Years….
