Upon our recent return to the Puerto Vallarta area, our Inspirato host set us up on a 3.5-hour walking taco tour of Old Town.

Our three bedroom villa at Los Veneros was the perfect spot. The home itself was well-appointed and beautiful. And I think my favorite part was our private pool that was just steps from the larger building pool... all with a stunning view of the ocean.

After seeing a momma and her calf put on a show when we visited the Marietas, we wanted more. We sailed off into the sunset with AllyCat Sailing Tours in search of whale sightings and the green flash.

When we started planning our Punta de Mita trip with our travel planner, we learned about the Inspirato signature experience: A cooking lesson with Casianos catering company and a personal bartender.

The moment our Inspirato trip planner told us about the Marietas Islands, we felt like we had to go. It was right up our alley and an adventure the whole family could enjoy. There's a hidden beach in the middle of the island and photos online looked incredible!

Our 6th trip started off with a culinary bang! Chef Hector Leyva picked us up at our villa in Punta de Mita and took us on a market tour of Mercado del Mar at La Cruz de Huanacaxstle –A neighboring, small village, to Punta Mita.
