ʻO ka hoihoi o Puerto Vallarta no nā makahiki he nui i ka leʻaleʻa o kāna mau kilokilo kahiko i hui pū ʻia me ka ʻoluʻolu o nā hana maʻalahi o kēia au.
I nā makahiki i hala aku nei, ua kōkua ka holomua i ka halihali a me nā kamaʻilio i ke komo ʻana i Puerto Vallarta, a i ka manawa like ua hana ka lehulehu e hoʻokō i nā pono o ka ulu nui ʻana o kāna mau malihini kipa, ʻoiai lākou e mālama nei i kāna hoʻopiʻi kū hoʻokahi.
Aia ʻo Puerto Vallarta ma ka mokuʻāina ʻo Jalisco, ma ke kapakai komohana o ka Pākīpika. Mālama ʻia ia e ke kai kūʻono lua o ka ʻāina ʻAmelika, ʻo Bahía de Banderas, i ʻike ʻia no kāna mau mea nani kupaianaha, no ka wai hohonu i ʻike ʻole ʻia a no ka nui o ke ola kai. Ma ka hikina o Puerto Vallarta e ala aʻe nei ka Sierra Madre hanohano, nona nā kuahiwi i uhi ʻia me nā mea kanu tropical i hana i kahi papa hana.
ʻO ke kiʻi "kūlanakauhale" nani kona ʻano kālai hale. ʻO kāna mau alanui cobbled exotic a me nā hale adobe i uhi ʻia me nā hale ʻulaʻula e hōʻike ana i ka hanohano o ke kaila kolone.
Ua maluhia ʻo Puerto Vallarta no kahi o 50 mau makahiki. A laila, i ka makahiki 1963, ua hōʻea ke alakaʻi kiʻi ʻoniʻoni kaulana ʻo John Huston i ke kiʻi ʻo Tennessee Williams 'Night o ka Iguana. Ua hana kūloko ʻo Richard Burton ke kiʻi ʻoniʻoni me Elizabeth Taylor a me ke aloha aloha o ua mau wahine nei i lilo nā poʻo i nā nūpepa o ka honua. Me ka manaʻo ʻole ʻia, ua lilo ke kūlanakauhale i magnet no nā malihini kipa.
Nui ka waiwai o kēia wahi momona i nā mea kanu a me ke ola kai. ʻO ke kū ʻana o nā ʻano e like me nā nalo, manu kuhukukū a me nā koholā humpback e hoʻohui i nā wahi kūlohelohe ʻē aʻe o Puerto Vallarta. Ma ka ʻaoʻao ʻē aʻe, hoʻolaha ka mea ʻoi e like me kekahi o nā hana i makemake ʻia i hāʻawi ʻia i ka hoʻonui ʻia o nā lumi hōʻike. I ka wā hoʻoilo, hōʻike ʻia nā mea pena kiʻi o kēia au, a me nā ʻano mea he nui o nā kiʻi ʻōiwi, nā Huichol Indians o ka Sierra.
Aia ma Puerto Vallarta kekahi, ka nui o nā manawa leʻaleʻa. ʻOi aku ka nui o nā haʻuki wai, me ka luʻu scuba, regattas o ka holo ʻana, ka lawaiʻa ʻana, ka heʻe ski, a me nā huakaʻi waʻa leʻaleʻa a puni ke kai kūʻono. Ma ka ʻāina, he papa ʻo Marina Vallarta Golf Club i lilo i ʻike ʻia ʻo ia kekahi o nā ala paʻakikī i ka ʻāina holoʻokoʻa.
I ka hōʻuluʻulu ʻana, ka ulu wikiwiki a me ka hoʻolālā maikaʻi ʻana o nā hanana mākaʻikaʻi, ke ʻano o nā lawelawe a me ka hoʻokipa maoli o nā kamaʻāina, ua hoʻolilo iā Puerto Vallarta i hoʻokahi o nā wahi punahele no ka mākaʻikaʻi i ka honua. E ʻike iā ʻoe ma laila!
