SHOT 2/16/09 8:43:39 AM - A taxi driver in the Romantic Zone of old Puerto Vallarta, Mexico. Puerto Vallarta, Mexico is a Mexican resort city situated on the Pacific Ocean's Bahía de Banderas in the Mexican state of Jalisco. Tourism makes up roughly 50% of all economic activity in Puerto Vallarta according to puertovallarta.net. The high season for international tourism in Puerto Vallarta extends from late November through March (or later depending on the timing of the College Spring Break period in the USA.) The city is especially popular with US residents from the West Coast because of the number of convenient flights between Puerto Vallarta and Los Angeles, San Francisco and Seattle. Also over the past decade, Puerto Vallarta has become a popular gay vacation destination, and consequently the Olas Altas area now boasts about a dozen clubs, several hotels, and numerous specialty shops catering to a gay clientele.(Photo by Marc Piscotty / © 2009)
