CHICAGO - EntSun -- Puerto Vallarta was named "Best Destination 2019" along with Riviera Nayarit by Apple Vacations during its annual Crystal Apple Awards event, which took place at the Museum of Science and Industry in Chicago this evening.

According Apple Vacations, "Puerto Vallarta has everything for every kind of vacationer, from hiking up the Sierra Madre mountains to parasailing in the Bay of Banderas, taking a stroll on the Malecon to a taco tour. You may remain active on your vacation, with many hotels having exercise programs — including Olympic-size swimming pools — or just relax at the Bay of Banderas, the second-largest bay in North America. There are plenty of ways for you to enjoy your vacation in Puerto Vallarta."

Puerto Vallarta is an international destination promoted as Mexico's beach destination with a pueblo heart with its Historic Center named a Jalisco Heritage site in 2018.
