The River Cuale

"The River Cuale, one of seven rivers originating from the Sierra Madre Mountains that run into the Bay of Banderas, divides Puerto Vallarta between the downtown to the north and the Romantic Zone to the south, but everything on either side is within walking distance. Two bridges, one on Insurgentes for northbound traffic and the other on Ignacio Vallarta for southbound traffic, cross the river. There are also some swaying top footbridges for pedestrian traffic.
In the middle of the river, the Isla del Rio Cuale (Island of the River Cuale) is a tranquil and shady oasis. Its handicrafts stalls are brimming with silver, ceramics, jewelry, hammocks, sombreros and fanciful souvenirs. There's also a handsome statue of John Houston, whose film, Night of the Iguana, put Vallarta on the tourist map."
Also, founded in March 2003, the Central Cultural Cuale is one of Vallarta's hidden gems when it comes to artsy workshops, music classes and cultural events.
