3 Spring Getaways

1.  Puerto Vallarta   

Puerto Vallarta has all that you could want in a vacation destination; water, adventure, culture, ecotourism and gastronomy.  And the weather is still enjoyable during the North American spring.  Sitting on the Pacific coast of Mexico, Puerto Vallarta is a favorite getaway spot for many a traveler. Get a feel for the area by taking a city tour that will take you into the old town and then past the early Hollywood spots of Mismaloya and out into the countryside to a tequila factory.  See how the agave plant is harvested to make the different types of tequila.  Enjoy a tequila tasting and purchase a bottle to bring home to sip, enjoy and reminisce about your wonderful vacation in this romantic Mexican town.    

For a little less than $2000 with air from PDX*, you can enjoy 5 nights for 2 at the newly refurbished and rebranded  4.5-star Hyatt Ziva.  Located less than a 10 minute cab ride from Old Town Puerto Vallarta on a quiet cove.  Enjoy all-inclusive amenities that include:
