322 days of sunshine a year makes Puerto Vallarta a very attractive year-round destination. The resort has a typically tropical climate, with distinct wet and dry seasons. June through to October is hot and wet, with average temperature highs of more than 30°C, but there is often heavy rainfall for one or two hours in the afternoon. The winter is cooler (between 26 and 29°C) with barely any rain and so is the most popular time to visit.
Parking in the city is rare and so it is not advisable to hire a car. The best way of getting from the airport to the main tourist area is either by taxi, colectivo (shuttle bus) or a local bus. The local buses provide a very cheap but not luxurious way of getting around Puerto Vallarta.
Another way to get around the city is by taxi. Taxi prices are set by zone as opposed to meter and so it is often advisable to negotiate the fare beforehand.
To explore some of the more remote and secluded beaches on the south side of the bay, a water taxi is your best bet.
