If that sounds great, you will love the urban hike up the stairs to reach the top of Cerro de la Cruz. If you start on the malecon downtown in Puerto Vallarta near the Mandala and Zoo bars, you head straight up Calle Abasolo to make your way to the top. The Cerro de la Cruz Lookout is located on the East side of downtown Puerto Vallarta and offers beautiful city and Banderas Bay views from the lookout point. Locals enjoy the serenity of the location, and it is also a popular spot for fitness fanatics who make multiple loops up and down the stairs to get a good workout as well. You can see the Pacific Ocean stretch out in front of you including views of Los Arcos on the south side, downtown Puerto Vallarta, and all the way up to Punta Mita on the far north side of Banderas Bay. If you want an incredible panoramic view that includes both city and ocean vistas, this is a top place to take a picture in PV.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"><img loading=\"lazy\" class=\"aligncenter size-large wp-image-2354\" src=\"https:\/\/www.garzablancarealestate.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/07\/GH0155230-1024x576.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"840\" height=\"473\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.garzablancarealestate.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/07\/GH0155230-1024x576.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/www.garzablancarealestate.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/07\/GH0155230-300x169.jpg 300w, https:\/\/www.garzablancarealestate.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/07\/GH0155230-768x432.jpg 768w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 840px) 100vw, 840px\" \/><\/span><\/p>\n<h2><b>#2 Puerto Vallarta Sign<\/b><\/h2>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">The classic colorful block letters spelling out city names have been popping up all around Mexico and across the world for the last few years. Not to be left out, Puerto Vallarta also has their own sign situated right on the Malecon boardwalk just north of the main plaza and Los Arcos. The Puerto Vallarta sign was actually unveiled back in 2016 during the World Tourism Day events. Located beside PV\u2019s iconic Rafael Zamarripa &#8220;Seahorse Statue&#8221; on the downtown Malecon, the Puerto Vallarta letters were designed and created by sculptor and artist Carlos Terres. Terres is the same artist that replaced the destroyed crown of the iconic Our Lady of Guadalupe Parish church right off the central plaza. The sign has traditional city designs and motifs which make for a perfect picture to create a lasting memory of your vacation or dream life in Puerto Vallarta. Although the PV City Sign has been moved around town to various locations including the Marina and the Amphitheater, it has returned to its original and current Malecon location making it a top place to take a picture in PV.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<h2><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"><img loading=\"lazy\" class=\"aligncenter size-large wp-image-2355\" src=\"https:\/\/www.garzablancarealestate.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/07\/DSC_2666-1024x684.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"840\" height=\"561\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.garzablancarealestate.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/07\/DSC_2666-1024x684.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/www.garzablancarealestate.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/07\/DSC_2666-300x200.jpg 300w, https:\/\/www.garzablancarealestate.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/07\/DSC_2666-768x513.jpg 768w, https:\/\/www.garzablancarealestate.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/07\/DSC_2666-840x560.jpg 840w, https:\/\/www.garzablancarealestate.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/07\/DSC_2666-1200x800.jpg 1200w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 840px) 100vw, 840px\" \/><\/span><\/h2>\n<h2><b>#3 Puerto Vallarta Pier<\/b><\/h2>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">The renovated Puerto Vallarta pier is another top spot to take a picture in PV.
