Puerto Vallarta, Mexico has become one of the most popular tourist resort destinations in the world. Because Vallarta is located along the Mexican Riviera on the Pacific Ocean, a substantial portion of these tourists arrive by boat; the majority in large cruise ships, however many come in their private yachts.
There are so many exciting places to visit in the world. Many are better to visit than to live but that depends on your critera for a retirement or 2nd home location.

Do you remember the 1927 novel, "The Treasure of the Sierra Madre", which was about a couple of down-and-out Americans that joined up with a crusty old timer to prospect for gold in Mexico? It was later adapted into a film by John Huston in 1948, who returned to Puerto Vallarta, Mexico in 1964 to film "Night of the Iguana".

It happens every eight seconds: another Baby Boomer retires. The number of them coming to Cabo is growing exponentially: in the past decade the number of US citizens over 60 living full time in Cabo mushroomed 300% over the previous period. No census data is available for this century yet, but ask any realtor and they'll tell you more and more clients are buying for retirement, or in anticipation of retirement, than ever before. And why not here? Cabo is the perfect place for full time living or a winter home.
