Color of Vallarta The Artist Inside of You
Description
Welcome to Puerto Vallarta’s vibrant art scene, reflecting the vitality and diversity of the city itself. This 5-hour tour offers you the opportunity to explore fine art galleries downtown and create your own artwork using traditional materials in a beautiful river canyon setting. Your journey begins with a drive into Viejo Vallarta (Old Vallarta), also known as the Romantic Zone, a bustling neighborhood with charming cafes, lively restaurants, and curio shops.
We visit two carefully selected art galleries, showcasing Vallarta’s enchanting mix of cosmopolitan and rustic influences: one gallery features renowned international artists, and another is a family-owned gallery featuring local artists.
Before leaving the city, you’ll have a chance to shop for souvenirs at a market offering a wide selection of Oaxacan black ceramics, handmade tiles, silver, pre-Hispanic sweets, Native arts, spirits, and more.
Next, we travel to La Dulce Vista, a hidden retreat in the foothills of the Sierra Madre, where you can create your own artwork while enjoying spectacular views.
You’ll be served unlimited wine along with the classic regional appetizer, queso fundido. Traditional Mexican tiles will be your canvas as a local artist guides you step-by-step through the process of painting your own masterpiece.
No artistic experience is necessary to create this one-of-a-kind memento of your Mexican adventure.
You’ll have free time to take a dip in a refreshing (non-heated) swimming pool, jump on the trampoline, swing on our picture-perfect romantic swing, or simply relax in a Mexican hammock.
