Puerto Vallarta is in the height of its “low” season (for NOTB tourists) and the activities here now focus on local events. For a couple of months, Vallarta becomes part of real Mexico. Even the National tourists are gone because school is now back in session. This is Mexico without any tourists. The weather is hot and humid, as is the local life…
