The Ultimate Puerto Vallarta Tour

Let’s face it, Puerto Vallarta is a tourist town. To most of the visitors here life is activities, beaches, nice hotels, booze and, generally, fun. There are canopy tours, drinking tours, boat tours, all types of rides and clubs, etc.

And there is one tour that most people won’t want to take: A tour of the the School of Champions, run by the Children of the Dump organization to improve the lives of the kids of Puerto Vallarta who live out by the city dump.

Every Tuesday and Thursday at 3 pm, tours are offered to visitors and expats (or anyone who is interested) to the programs run by the Children of the Dump organization. There is no cost except what you will take away with you in changed concepts and emotions.
