Bucerías may be less than half an hour from the rattle and hum of Puerto Vallarta , but it feels like another world away. The small village, on the shores of the Bay of Banderas, is a change of pace from the sputtering traffic and all-night party scene of its more famous neighbor. Picture cobblestone streets lined with colorful houses and draped with bougainvillea, local artisans selling handmade crafts and the sound of waves crashing onto the seemingly endless strip of beach.
This hideaway is where you can sip margaritas at a beach bar one minute and explore boutique shops the next. Whether it’s enjoying fresh seafood, strolling the art scene or watching a fiery sunset, Bucerías captures the magic of a classic Mexican getaway — minus the crowds. If you’re looking for the perfect weekend in Bucerías, read on for our three-day itinerary.
After touching down at Puerto Vallarta International Airport, grab a taxi and head to Hotel Ysuri Bucerías .

Snap a few photos from your private balcony — trust me, you won’t want to forget the view. Evening After settling in and shaking off the travel day cobwebs, it’s time to immerse yourself in the dining scene in Bucerías. Head to La Negra , just a short walk from your hotel, for dinner.
