Off the beaten-pass: Discover Costa Alegre

Travel south from Puerto Vallarta on Mexico's Pacific coast - to the central coastal area of the country- and you'll discover Costa Alegre.
Miles upon miles of palm trees line the land just inside the coastal shores. Jungle covered mountains plunge into the Pacific coast, or fall short to reveal golden sand beaches, begging to be discovered and walked upon by tired feet.
The Costa Alegre is not a destination, it's an area between Puerto Vallarta and Manzanillo. Costa Alegre offers highly exclusive travel experiences with self contained resort luxury villas that feature privacy and seclusion surrounded by a stunningly beautiful tropical paradise.
Today, this region is extremely accessible - by air (Puerto Vallarta or Manzanillo airports) and by road (Highway 200 on Mexico's Pacific Coast) - and has become a favorite holiday destination for foreigners and Mexicans alike looking for highly exclusive, extra-special travel experiences.
Costa Alegre (the "Happy Coast") is a stretch of land about 150 miles long, that features tropical forests and magical coves. This area is one of the most exclusive areas to get away from it all in Mexico. Celebrities often come here to get away from prying eyes and camera lenses. Costalegre is an area made up several towns and villages with potential for the traveler looking for that extra-special experience in Mexico.

Getting to Puerto Vallarta

Find out how you can get to Puerto Vallarta

By Air - Puerto Vallarta's international airport is extremely well-served by a range of airlines. You can fly to Puerto Vallarta from the United States and and other points in Mexico including Guadalajara, La Paz, Leon and Mexico City.

By Bus - You can travel to Puerto Vallarta on a luxury bus from Mexico City - but note that the trip will take around 14 hours. From Guadalajara, the journey time is about 6-7 hours. Puerto Vallarta is flanked by large mountains, so the roads in and out of the area are steep, winding, and take time to negotiate. Flying is the most sensible way to get to Puerto Vallarta, unless you are on a budget, and don't mind the wait (and want to see the sights along the way).

By Car - The road journey to Puerto Vallarta from inland Mexico (e.g. Guadalajara, Mexico City, Chihuahua, et al) is mountainous and winding. Expect it to take longer than you anticipate if you've only looked at non-topographical road map. The easiest route in and out of Puerto Vallarta is by using Highway 200 -- the coast road -- although if you plan to go inland to Guadalajara or Mexico City, then this road will take you well out of the way you really want to go. Traveling out of Puerto Vallarta by road north to Punta de Mita, or south to Costalegre and Manzanillo is straightforward: the roads are good and the terrain is easy to negotiate in a car.
