2023 Theme: SHELTER

An invitation to explore the value of ‘shelter’—and who is a shelter for if not its community. From the immigrants arriving to our shores in hopes of creating a new life to the families who have been here for generations, together we create a unique sense of place. Each person, culture, and tradition is instrumental in building a strong community, our true home and shelter.

Ready for a vacation... PUERTO VALLARTA?

Puerto Vallarta is undoubtedly one of the most charming coastal towns in the Pacific. Located in the Bay of Banderas, in the state of Jalisco, not far from the border with the state of Nayarit, it is the largest recipient of foreign tourists from the Mexican oceanic coast.

In addition to national tourism, Puerto Vallarta is visited and loved by a significant contingent of tourists from the United States, Canada, and Europe, a good number of whom arrive through international cruises that arrive here.

Vallarta, as its inhabitants know it, has all the tourist services of a world-class destination: from luxury hotels to the cheap but typically Mexican accommodation, entertainment activities, coastal and Mexican food restaurants but also international and gourmet, an intense nightlife, and of course a variety of water and land sports activities.
