Visit El Eden
If you want to get back to nature, head to southern Puerto Vallarta to enjoy an outside activity with your kids. There, close to the Mismaloya area of Banderas Bay, you can head inland to find natural swimming holes amongst lush jungle greenery known as El Eden.

Today, the family can enjoy refreshing swims in the cool freshwater swimming holes. There is also an onsite restaurant where you can enjoy a tasty and affordable meal or tropical cocktails or beers, too.
