There are many ways to get around Puerto Vallarta to see the beautiful beaches, and most importantly, save money.
Here are a few options:
Taxi - minimum fare is usually 40 pesos ($2.14 USD)
Bus - the cheapest way to go! Take the green buses around town, and a grey bus for out of town travels. Read this guide for important bus info.
Rent-a-car - Roughly $20 USD a day, but highly inefficient as traffic is hard to get around in Mexico!

Shopping

Shopping is a great way to learn culture, see local sites, and find unique souvenirs.
Barter for the best price at the flea markets
Walk around the marketplace find the best deal (as there are a lot of repeat stalls)
Buy gourmet groceries at specialty stores in Old Vallarta, San Vicente or San Jose.
You will not only get the much needed relaxation for your body but also your mind and soul.
