Between December and March, Puerto Vallarta gets some very special visitors.
I’m talking about the humpback whales that migrate to Banderas Bay every year.
While most people pay for crowded boat tours, my favorite way to see them is actually from the privacy of a balcony in Amapas.
There’s something truly breathtaking about sitting outside with your morning coffee and hearing that massive splash echo across the cliffs.
It feels like a private show just for you.
As a local owner, I always say late March is the “grand finale.”
It’s our last chance to see them before they head back north.
Our Amapas condos are perched perfectly on the hillside, giving you a front-row seat to the sparkling Pacific.
It beats a noisy hotel lobby any day.
You get the peace of the jungle neighborhood with a view that actually delivers on the “pinch me” moments.
If you’re looking for puerto vallarta rentals by owner or puerto vallarta apartments with the best vantage points, you’ve found them.

If you’re coming during whale season, Amapas is highly recommended.
You get the calm, the views, and those “DID YOU HEAR THAT SPLASH?!” moments right from your balcony!!!
