The Sierra Madre Mountains practically push Puerto Vallarta into the Bay
of Banderas. When the wind is from the west, the descent into Gustavo
Díaz Ordaz International Airport from over the mountains is among the
steepest I have experienced. The approach winds down a narrow valley to
the east, the aircraft banking from one side of the valley to the other.
The city itself spreads in a long, narrow band from south to north between
sea and mountain. |
