A refreshing climax awaits in the form of a raspato, Puerto Vallarta’s traditional shaved ice treat flavored to your liking—perfect for cooling down in the tropical warmth. Beyond the food, the tour peppers your journey with stories of Old Town’s hidden gems, murals, and plazas that reveal why this neighborhood is the cultural heartbeat of Vallarta. Social and relaxed, the small-group format encourages mingling with fellow food lovers and adventurers.
