Sierra Madre Occidental in Puerto Vallarta
Sierra Madre Occidental in Puerto Vallarta.

Nuevo Vallarta's beachfront hotels line the Pacific coast of Riviera Nayarit, a region developed for tourism beginning in the late 20th century. The resort developments, including condominiums and hotels like the Riu Resort, stretch towards Puerto Vallarta. Behind the coastal strip, the Sierra Madre Occidental mountains form a dramatic natural backdrop, highlighting the area's unique geography where steep mountains meet the sea. This corridor remains a significant destination for international tourism, attracting visitors to its beaches and resorts.
