Where is Las Animas Beach in Puerto Vallarta? Tips for your day trip?
Las Animas de Quimixto, which is more commonly known as just Las Animas, is a beautiful beach, in the south zone of Puerto Vallarta, officially located in Cabo Corrientes, Jalisco, Mexico, an area that begins south of Boca de Tomatlan.
To get there from Puerto Vallarta, we recommend traveling by land (10 miles from the main square of the city, or about 20 minutes) to Boca de Tomatlan, the last coastal village on the road South that takes you to Barra de Navidad. From there take the water taxis (pangas) that shuttle passengers to the beaches of the southern area of Banderas Bay.
It is the first stop water taxis make (locally called pangas) when they go to south in the Bay of Banderas. This section includes beaches and towns like: Quimixto, Majahuitas, Yelapa and some even further south, like Pizota, El Chimo and Cabo Corrientes.
Las Animas Beach is a very popular day trip, there are many tours and cruises that take you there from Puerto Vallarta and stay a good part of the day. It is the first beach, about 2 miles from Boca, (about 5-10 minutes), just after passing Caballo Beach.
It has a pier that helps a lot when disembarking passengers, the beach is a favorite of the sun and tanning fans. The sand is fine and clear, the waters are clean, the waves are usually very soft and the thick jungle serves as a backdrop.
What can be done in Las Animas Jalisco?
There is a good repertoire of small restaurants and vendors that offer fresh sea food and drinks that can be natural or alcoholic. We recommended you try the local fresh oysters and almost any fish dish, the zarandeado being the most popular. There are various activities on site, diving or snorkeling, walking along the beach and many enjoy parasailing.
There is nowhere to stay in Las Animas, but it is possible to find a beach place just up the beach in Casas Maraika and maybe stay at Majahuitas Resort and take a water taxi to get around.

Why visit Boca de Tomatlan south of Puerto Vallarta Jalisco Mexico
Boca de Tomatlan is a fishing village 17 kilometers south of Puerto Vallarta (about 15-20 minutes by car, 20-25 minutes by bus). It offers a very nice beach, good rustic restaurants, several activities and a starting point to visit the many beaches south of the bay. Boca de Tomatlán is the last town and beach before the road heads inland on its route to the areas of Cabo Corrientes to the south and Barra de Navidad. The immediate towns to the south are Las Juntas and Los Veranos and El Tuito which is 29 km from Boca (the botanical garden is between Las Juntas and El Tuito).
Among the nearby activities that you can enjoy are the Botanical Garden of Puerto Vallarta with one of the best restaurants in the bay: Hacienda de Oro. Walk to Playa Colomitos through the jungle. Parasailing, walks to nearby beaches, by land for adventurers to Las Animas, for others by boat (water taxi / panga) to Colomitos, Quimixto, Majahuitas, Yelapa, Chimo, Pizota and others. Visit, snorkel, dive and SUP (Stand-up Paddle) to Los Arcos. There are palapas with small rustic restaurants at the edge of the beach that open from 10 in the morning until, more or less, at 6:00 pm, where you can enjoy a cold beer and a tasty fish or seafood dish.
It is on the way to the Botanical Gardens of Vallarta, just 5 kilometers beyond the town of Mismaloya, and is the most popular embarkation and arrival bay for water taxis that take locals and visitors to the beautiful and isolated beaches of the southern part of the city. Bay of Banderas, beaches like Colomitos, Las Animas, Quimixto, Majahuitas and Yelapa. Exit schedules of the pangas here.
(Boca de Tomatlan should not be confused with Boca de Tomates, which is north of the PV Airport).
Boca de Tomatlán empties into the Horcones River, which also passes through the grounds of the Botanical Garden. At present, thanks to the Boca de Tomatlan boardwalk and the rocky edge that was established at the end of the river, the course is much better controlled and the boatmen and fishermen have a better space to leave their boats in shelter. The beach itself is also very popular and the waters of the bay are extremely quiet (not for nothing is used as a port of departure), so if you are a fan of marine swimming, this is the place to visit, we just recommend that you keep away from the area of the pangas.
You can get to Boca de Tomatlan by car, water taxi, taxi or bus. Water taxis (pangas) can be obtained in the Marina or the pier of Playa Los Muertos. The local buses that go to Boca leave every day from early around 6:30 AM and at regular intervals until around 11:00 PM, at the corner of Basilio Badillo and Constitución in Viejo Vallarta (Romantic Zone), the same place and the same buses that go to Mismaloya.
Boca is an authentic fishing village, 10 miles south of the Plaza de Armas of Puerto Vallarta, where the Horcones River empties into a beautiful emerald green bay, surrounded by jungle-covered hills. Enjoy its beaches of fine and clear sand, the gentle waves of the ocean, good food and friendly people.

Rant of the day:
Today we visited the Vallarta Botanical Gardens!
Thanks for coming along our daily adventure with us! Thankfully, we did not ever encounter any jaguars, even on “Jaguar Trail”. We had an awesome time exploring the gardens and would highly recommend this getaway for anyone-visitors and expats alike! The gardens are situated deep into the mountains and creates a calm, serene atmosphere to enjoy. Bonus: there are tons of hummingbirds (that will drink for your hand!), butterflies, and other cute garden creatures that we don’t typically see in the heart of PV. Have you visited the Botanical Gardens before? What was your favorite thing there?
