Many of the archipelago's islands are populated by giant Aldabra tortoises, and bird species number 250, 12 of those being unique to the islands. Mahe Island's Port Launay Marine National Park is the place to head for whale shark sightings, and Praslin Island is home to the country's national bird - the Seychelles black parrot. Cousine Island is where visitors are encouraged to take part in wildlife conservation projects (and spot free-roaming giant tortoises and rare bird species along the way). A mere 3km away from there is Fregate Island, known especially for its chelonian inhabitants.

Our Lady of Guadalupe Church stands proudly as the main focal point on Puerto Vallarta’s skyline. This is one of the city’s most beautiful landmarks and well worth a visit due to its historical and spiritual ambiance. Step inside and take your time to explore the interior. Inside, the stained glass, statues and religious artifacts are all on display.

Cruise up the River as our ancestors did - by boat. Renting a boat allows you to relax as you sail by beautiful landscapes. Another advantage is the ability to stop wherever takes your fancy.
