We decided to re-visit the Puerto Vallarta Zoo today's main activity. It's south of PV in Mismaloya. We love that bay where the movie, that began it all, was shot. It's possible to walk from the bus stop up a rural road. We love the zoo as it's up a jungle-clad hill. It's definitely not wheel-chair accessible, but we are still moderately mobile!
We paid about 8 bucks to get in but made sure to buy a $4 packet full of treats to feed the animals. It's encouraged and I was licked by a giraffe as personal proof. Getting up the hill and back took a bit more than an hour and a half. After we walked down to the bay before catching a bus back to town. The road has been improved but it is still a scenic drive along the hillside coastline.
