Infoarte

StatueAn innovative service combining sculptural art and multimedia digital information has taken shape in Puerto Vallarta. In keeping with the town’s public arts initiative, Puerto Vallarta has incorporated 20 bronze sculptures in five different models, all created by local artist Octavio Gonzalez, that combine fine art with a touch screen providing digital services including local tourist information and the history of Puerto Vallarta. These multimedia sculptures can be found in strategic locations throughout town including the Malecón, Marina Vallarta, the Hotel Zone, and the “old town” Romantic Zone. Puerto Vallarta is the first destination in Mexico to offer travelers this digital information service.

New Airport Terminal

A new state of the art US$ 20 million satellite terminal was recently inaugurated at Puerto Vallarta International Airport. The new satellite building will serve mainly international flights to/from the United States and Canada and has the capacity to accommodate an additional 800,000 passengers per year. Its modern and spacious installations double the number of available jet bridges for enhanced passenger comfort and moving walkways connect it to the main terminal.

Puerto Vallarta’s love of art, evident in the town’s impressive collection of public sculptures that line the Malecón, is also reflected in the new satellite building that houses exclusive open spaces for art and photography exhibits by local artists.
