<\/p>\n<\/p>\n
I have lived in Puerto Vallarta for a long time. <\/p>\n
I know every corner of this beautiful town. <\/p>\n
But my absolute favorite place to find peace is Amapas. <\/p>\n
It is tucked away just past the busy energy of Zona Rom\u00e1ntica. <\/p>\n
If you are a solo traveler, you need this place in your life. <\/p>\n
It is quiet. It is green. It is BEAUTIFUL. <\/p>\n
I love how the jungle meets the sea right here. <\/p>\n
Most people stay on the main beach. They miss the best parts!<\/p>\n
I want to show you the hidden side of our neighborhood. <\/p>\n
Let's talk about the stairs. <\/p>\n
To find the peace I\u2019m talking about, you have to look for it. <\/p>\n
I always start my walk at the end of Los Muertos Beach. <\/p>\n
You will see a giant rock called El P\u00falpito. <\/p>\n
It looks like a big stone tower rising from the water. <\/p>\n
Right next to it, there are stone stairs. <\/p>\n
They are hidden behind some trees. <\/p>\n
I remember the first time I climbed them. I felt like an explorer!<\/p>\n
These stairs take you up and over the cliff. <\/p>\n
The view from the top is AMAZING!!<\/p>\n
You can see the whole bay from up there. <\/p>\n
It is the perfect spot to stop and breathe. <\/p>\n
The air smells like salt and tropical flowers. <\/p>\n
I highly recommend taking a moment here to just look at the water. <\/p>\n
It is so blue and sparkling. <\/p>\n
Once you cross the ridge, the path winds down. <\/p>\n
It is a bit rocky and uneven. <\/p>\n
I always tell our guests to wear good sandals. <\/p>\n
Don't wear flip-flops for this part!<\/p>\n
You will walk under huge Amapas trees. <\/p>\n
They have these big green leaves that provide so much shade. <\/p>\n
It feels sooo much cooler under the trees. <\/p>\n
Eventually, you reach Playa Amapas. <\/p>\n
This is a tiny, semi-hidden beach. <\/p>\n
It is much quieter than the main beach in Old Town. <\/p>\n
I love coming here with a book. <\/p>\n
There are no loud music or big crowds. <\/p>\n
Just the sound of the waves hitting the rocks. <\/p>\n
It is pure bliss for anyone traveling alone. <\/p>\n
If you want to start your day with this kind of peace, you should check out our The Art of the Slow Morning<\/a>.<\/p>\n It really helps you set the right mood for your trip. <\/p>\n If you want to be close to these trails, we have some great spots. <\/p>\n We are a local family business. <\/p>\n We care about your experience. <\/p>\n I personally make sure every guest feels welcome. <\/p>\n Our Casa CC<\/strong> is perfect for this. <\/p>\n It has those breathtaking mountain views I talk about all the time. <\/p>\n You can watch the sunrise over the Sierra Madre from your bed. <\/p>\n It is one of our best puerto vallarta condo rentals<\/a>. <\/p>\n The location is ideal. <\/p>\n You are close enough to walk to the "hidden" stairs. <\/p>\n But you are far enough away to enjoy total quiet. <\/p>\n Another great option is Sueno<\/strong>. <\/p>\n It is a beautiful space for a couple or a solo digital nomad. <\/p>\n We offer some of the most comfortable condo and apartment rentals puerto vallarta<\/a> has to offer. <\/p>\n The natural light in this unit is incredible. <\/p>\n I love working from the balcony there. <\/p>\n You can see the green mountains and the blue ocean at the same time. <\/p>\n It is very inspiring for remote work!<\/p>\n There isn't just one set of stairs in Amapas. <\/p>\n The whole hillside is connected by little walkways. <\/p>\n I call them the "vessels" of the neighborhood. <\/p>\n Some are made of old stone. Others are modern. <\/p>\n They weave between the low-rise villas and the jungle. <\/p>\n I love getting "lost" on these paths. <\/p>\n Every turn reveals a new view. <\/p>\n Sometimes you see a colorful bougainvillea spilling over a wall. <\/p>\n Sometimes you see a bright yellow bird in the trees. <\/p>\n It is so much better than walking on a flat sidewalk. <\/p>\n It keeps you fit too! <\/p>\n Those stairs are a great workout. <\/p>\n But the reward is always worth it. <\/p>\n You find little corners of the city that feel like a secret. <\/p>\n It is the most authentic way to see Puerto Vallarta. <\/p>\n After a long walk on the stairs, I usually get hungry. <\/p>\n I don't go to the big tourist spots. <\/p>\nWhere to Stay for Maximum Serenity<\/h3>\n
