I’ve always thought of Mexico as a very religious country, so I didn’t expect to experience such a liberal embrace of gay life here. The second thing to know about PV, as it’s called, is that it is really, really gay. The only threat of shots in Puerto Vallarta are of the tequila variety, and yes, I can admit I was a happy victim on more than one occasion. The first thing to say to the American traveler who may be misinformed about crime in Mexico, is that Puerto Vallarta is very safe.
And the similarities to gay resort towns like Provincetown might surprise you. What other P-Town? Puerto Vallarta, the gay-tastic beach town on Mexico’s sunny west coast.
