Relocating to Puerto Vallarta
Moving to Puerto Vallarta from Canada, is an exciting leap into sun soaked beaches, vibrant culture, and a more relaxed lifestyle. This charming Pacific coast city offers a welcoming blend of modern amenities and traditional Mexican warmth. Planning ahead makes a big difference. Bekins Worldwide, using its decades of international move experience and expertise, is here to help you, with both the best time of year to move and what to expect on the day you move into your new residence.
The best time to relocate to Puerto Vallarta is between late October and early December. During these months, the rainy season (typically June to October) is winding down, and the temperature is more manageable—hot but not oppressive. This also avoids the peak tourist season (late December to March), when housing costs and crowds rise sharply. Moving in the shoulder season allows you to settle in with less hassle and gives you time to acclimate before the winter rush.
Moving day can bring some surprises in Puerto Vallarta. First, be prepared for narrow cobblestone streets in many neighborhoods—great for charm, not so great for moving trucks. Experience with local logistics helps potential access issues, especially in Centro or Zona Romántica. As customs clearance and their storage charges become known, delivery arrangements become possible. It’s not uncommon for electricity, internet, or water connections to be delayed or require additional paperwork. Your preparations for electricity, gas, water, and broadband are respected, with the move in being done in harmony with them.
While many residents speak a little English, learning a bit of Spanish can go a long way in forming genuine connections with the local “vallartenses” (pronounced va-yar-TEN-ses) and truly immersing yourself in the community.!
Puerto Vallarta is a Canadian favorite for good reasons… friendly people, affordable living, and stunning natural beauty. With thoughtful planning and an open mind, this coastal paradise can be all you imagine. Embrace the change, take in the sunsets, and soon enough, you’ll feel right at home.
