party places, come on into town... you are about 20 minutes from downtown in Nuevo Vallarta... so it is going to cost you every time to come in to party.....

as for tours Los Varanos for the zip lines....

I think Tom is being very generous with the time. From what I have heard about the traffic lately I would say it is going to be closer to 45 mins. Right now it is taking 15 mins from the Marina into downtown.

Not picking on you Tom

, just thought the OP should have a more realistic time and understanding of how far they are actually away from PV proper.

so what's the best way to get downtown? Bus or Taxi? how late do the buses run?

Tom- Go hawks!! We're also from Iowa!

djspens...it's a traffic issue not distance, you can see downtown PV from the beaches of Nuevo but like every place that has traffic issues, time of day has an impact on travel times...most times you'll get from Nuevo to downtown in an easy 20 minutes (cab time)...however avoid early evening as that can be well in excess of 45 mins...Nuevo has the best of both worlds (PV wise)...your close enough to downtown to enjoy all it has to offer yet still have some Mexico time and useable beaches out in Nuevo...cab is 15 bucks...the bus is O.K. as well (in on the bus back in a cab is a good method) very cheap but you will need to transfer once opposite Walmart...have fun...sonofdob.
