Here's a link to a very interesting page I found that you should read through if you will be visiting Puerto Vallarta.

It talks about:

• local customs (la siesta, Sunday night Promenade, night-time garbage collection)
• street kids and organized beggar women
• the apparently false perception Americans have of Mexican 'poverty'
• Cultural attitudes
• A little history

Here's the URL for the website:

This one is worth taking a couple of minutes to read for yourself.
