Puerto Vallarta, Jalisco's premier beach destination, was recently nominated in the Cities category of Condé Nast Traveller Readers' Choice Awards 2023. The awards are among the most prestigious international travel awards, recognizing the best places in the world in 18 different categories. Condé Nast Traveller readers are invited to vote online to select and honor their favorite places in categories that include (among many others) Airlines, Airports, Car Rentals, Cruise Ships, Trains, Destination Spas, Homestays & Villa Rentals, Hotels and Resorts, Beaches, and Cities.

Puerto Vallarta and Jalisco's capital, Guadalajara, were nominated in the latter category for their unique architecture, cuisine, atmosphere, activities, and accommodation, among others. These cities reflect the diversity and natural and historical richness of the state of Jalisco, according to the State Secretary of Tourism, Vanessa Pérez Lamas. “I am proud to see Puerto Vallarta and Guadalajara once again ranked as the best cities to visit,” said Perez Llamas. “These nominations show two of our best destinations are moving in a positive direction.”

At present, Puerto Vallarta and Guadalajara are the most visited destinations in Jalisco, both for beaches and cities. In recent years, they have established their position worldwide as places of innovation, creativity, and symbols of Mexican culture, with iconic traditions such as Mariachi, tequila, and birria. Being nominated for Condé Nast Traveller Readers' Choice Awards 2023 is also a recognition for Puerto Vallarta's natural and cultural beauty, as well as its excellent hospitality to visitors. Its wide variety of accommodations, tropical climate, dream beaches, outdoor activities, and vibrant nightlife make it a world-class destination and one of the most visited by travelers!
