The Best Place
for Retirement

Despite its small town charm, Puerto Vallarta is the second most important economic center in the state of Jalisco, outside the metropolitan area of Guadalajara. Today it offers the conveniences of a small modern city, including shopping centers, entertainment venues, cinemas, restaurants, hospitals, medical services, schools, universities, community organizations, religious services, US and Canadian Consular Agencies, along with a wide array of established, professional goods and services purveyors. Its airport offers frequent direct flights to numerous cities throughout the U.S. and Canada, and Mexico. In 2001, Puerto Vallarta was recognized as the "Best Place in the World to Retire" by the AARP (North American Association of Retired Persons), due to the range and level of goods and services that its residents enjoy.
