Is puerto vallarta also called nuevo vallarta?

Question

in mexico is the 2 names the same name or different citys?

Answer 1

Nuevo vallarta is about 30 minutes north of puerto vallarta.Nuevo vallarta is more for luxury resorts with nice beaches and great to relax. Puerto Vallarta is between the jungle and the ocean with more attractions and nightlife.

Answer 2

Puerto Vallarta is a beautiful city located between the ocean and the jungles of the Sierra Madre.

It is the second gourmet destination in Mexico (after Mexico City),  the best restaurants in the world, spectacular bars and discos, wonderful stores and galleries, lots of nightlife, lots of tours, things to do and beautiful places to see.

This is located in the Jalisco State of Mexico.

Nuevo Vallarta (New Vallarta) is a copy of Puerto Vallarta, with all inclusive hotels, no night life, nothing to do, no restaurants and it is located in the northern State of Nayarit Mexico, 45 minutes north of Puerto Vallarta.

Both places share the same bay, this is the Banderas Bay, the second largest bay in América, half of the bay belongs to the Nayarit State and the south part of the bay belongs to Jalisco State.

Best to you.

Best to you.

Answer 3

Hi

Puerto Vallarta and Nuevo Vallarta are not the same.

Nuevo Vallarta use the name of vallarta to make tourist thing that is puerto vallarta but is not and people goes to nuevo vallarta thinking that they are going to Puerto Vallarta but they are not.

Puerto Vallarta and Nuevo Vallarta have the same kind of hotels and the beach in nuevo vallarta is not better then the one in Puerto Vallarta.

nuevo vallarta is 30 minutes from puerto vallarta and there is nothing, nothing, nothing, to do in nuevo vallarta and is 15 dollars for a taxi to go to puerto vallarta from there.

have fun.

Answer 4

They are separate - in fact in different states.   Vallarta is in Jalisco .... Nuevo is in Nayarit.   Vallarta is much more interesting and a real town .... rather than a bunch of beach hotels

Answer 5

nope, two diff beaches!

Answer 6

You have enough answers, but I like this question!

No; Puerto Vallarta is the original town in the cost of Jalisco state, Nuevo Vallarta is a new tourist development in Nayarit state. As you can see, those two cities are located, actually in different states (but within 30 minutes from each other), not only  that, there is more: Puerto Vallarta (at Jalisco state) uses the Central Time zone (same hour as Chicago or Dallas), while Nuevo Vallarta uses the Mountain Time zone (same hour as New Mexico)

In english their names are "Vallarta Port" (Puerto Vallarta) and "New Vallarta" (Nuevo Vallarta). Vallarta is the last name of a Jalisco's governor, the town (PV) was named so in his honor, his name was Ignacio L. Vallarta.
