Puerto Vallarta is in the Mexican state of Jalisco on the Bahia de Banderas of the Pacific Ocean. Second in size to Guadalajara, it is the seat of government for the Puerto Vallarta municipality. It is often simply called Vallarta or P.V, a shorter version of the cities name, named after a former governor of Jalisco Ignacio Vallarta. The city has a rich cultural history and was an important village before it became a major tourist center.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Archeological finds suggest that humans have lived in this area since 580BC and were part of the Aztatl\u00e0n culture. From the 18th<\/sup> century, Puerto Vallarta began to transform itself from a pearl diving and fishing village into a landing resort. At the time, the town was called Las Pe\u00f1as. By the 19th<\/sup> century, it was renamed Puerto Vallarta and had become a budding tourist destination for visitors from the Sierra towns.  <\/p>\n\n\n\n
