Solo female traveler, mid 30s. I want to spend about 4 weeks in Mexico or Latin America. I’d like to not rent a car. I’m okay with using public transit, colectivos, hiring a driver or taxi. I’d like to be able to walk to restaurants, stores, activities. My Spanish is good, but not fluent. Where should I go?
If you’re set, Puerto Vallarta area would probably have everything you’re lookinf for while also being one of the safest destinations in Latin America.
PV, to Sayulita, San Pancho, and go no further than La Peñita. Try to sign up for some sort of group travel for safety. It should be fine, but you’re a solo female so…
This area is a bit tourist spot so you may not get the authentic Mexican experience, but it is generally much safer than going to other areas.
I didn’t consider Puerto Vallarta. Thanks for the great idea! Once I decide where I want to go, I can start networking with other travelers. I’m happy with tourist spots, especially if they have an airport nearby like PV!
