October 25th marks five years since Hurricane Kenna wreaked havoc on the coastal town of Puerto Vallarta, Mexico. Though no lives were lost, it was an event that Banderas Bay area residents will not soon forget.
From October 26th-November 3rd, a photo documentary by photographer Javier Pérez Jiménez will be on display in the Central Patio of the Presidencia Municipal, in the main square of downtown Puerto Vallarta.
The exposition will then move to the Centro Universitario de la Costa’s Juan Luis Cifuentes Lemus auditorium, where it will be presented from November 5th-10th, 2007.
Many of us did not comprehend the severity of the storm, since the Banderas Bay region is known as one of the most protected areas along Mexico’s Pacific coastline. Hurricane Kenna was the first storm to affect Puerto Vallarta in over 60 years.
