Wedding Places For Same Sex Couples In Puerto Vallarta And Rivera Nayarit

Puerto Vallarta has been once again nominated at the 2017 Travvy Awards as a top “Best LGBTQ” destination. Great gastronomy, crystal clear water and an amazingly hospitable people makes Puerto Vallarta and Riviera Nayarit two of Mexico’s top destinations. Since May 2016, this gay-friendly city is now also opened to same-sex civil unions.
