The Blog
Tips, seasonal events and local guides — the things that don't fit neatly in a category.
Longer reads, seasonal updates and practical tips for Puerto Vallarta. New posts are added through the year — here are the latest.
What this section is — and isn't
InternetPV is a travel guide, not a blog. The substance of the site lives in the guides: where to stay, what to do, which tours are worth booking, and the practical planning pages. Those are written to stay accurate and are updated when things change, rather than published and forgotten.
This section holds the pieces that don't belong in a guide page: seasonal events with dates that move, longer practical reads, and occasional notes on what's changed in the city. We publish here when there is something genuinely worth saying — not on a schedule.
Where to start instead
If you landed here looking for something specific, these are the pages most people need:
- Planning a first trip: the five-day first-trip itinerary and where to stay.
- Working out dates: best time to visit and the month-by-month weather guide.
- Deciding what to book: tours and experiences, with our comparison method.
- Budgeting: what a trip actually costs.
- Timing around festivals: events and festivals.
How we update
Every page carries a "last updated" date, and the pages whose facts move — prices, seasons, travel advisories, event dates — carry a Sources & updates box naming what we checked and warning you to confirm before booking. We would rather tell you something is subject to change than pretend a snapshot is permanent.
