How to travel?
To get to the city of Puerto Vallarta, there are three main ways regardless of whether you travel from the interior of the Mexican Republic or from a foreign country.
- By land: Using your own car or bus you can travel to one of the two bus terminals that Puerto Vallarta has, you can see the map of the terminals here. This is the best option for people traveling from the nearby cities of Puerto Vallarta.
- By air: In the limits of Puerto Vallarta you will find the Gustavo Díaz Ordaz International Airport, which is fortunate to receive flights from foreign countries such as the USA, Colombia, Spain, Panama and Peru, as well as from local cities in Mexico.

Where to Stay?
- Hotels: As in any tourist place, hotels are always an option that allows us to make a decision with more than one location. For this point we recommend looking for a place close to Joint Coworking, which will be the place where the Open Web House will be held. If it is your preference, you can also use this link that gives you a 15% discount at the Hotel next to the event. The prices in a formal hotel in the tourist area are usually between $50 and $70 USD per night.
- Airbnb: The world’s largest lodging reservation application is also present here, offering affordable and prestigious places throughout the Bay Area. Do not hesitate to do your search in the application in advance and you can reserve a place from $25 USD per night.
- Hostels: Puerto Vallarta is characterized by being a bay with a large jungle on one side, which has caused multiple tourists to travel with little luggage and a low budget, so hostels are usually a very popular option in the area. Check local guides to find the best place and get a place to stay from $15 USD per night.
