Pet Heaven in Puerto Vallarta is an altruistic partnership led by two cat lovers: Gary Phillips & Bob Lloyd. They have built a shelter for animals which bears about 150 cats; it is noteworthy that only during spring-summer 50 were housed. The refuge is a ranch of approximately ½ acre. They not only give them shelter, but a better life. They feed and nurture them, as well as, pamper and love them.
The kittens they take care of aren’t currently in physical adoption, but rather virtual, since they’ve created a program called “Virtual Adoption Program.” Where you can virtually support your cat with a donation of $ 100.00 USD for a year and its name and photo, along with your name and your home town or country will be displayed on the wall called “Heaven’s Keepers.”
So if you’re one of the many cat lovers, help contribute the cause.

Wrapped in a beautiful cove in the Bay of Banderas lies the peaceful village of Yelapa, Jalisco. While there is a road to town, it is much easier to access by boat. The water taxi to Yelapa leave daily from different places (Los Muertos pier is the most popular spot to embark) in the area of Puerto Vallarta.
The tranquility of Yelapa is ideal for those people seeking a place to enjoy a relaxing vacation. When I went visited, I let myself be wrapped by the magic of this beautiful fishing village and we found all sorts of fun activities including horseback riding and a beautiful waterfall to explore. I felt as though I’d stepped back in time with men on horseback and women on foot throughout the village.
Yelapa beach is covered in a blanket of golden sand and is a great place for swimming, diving or an adventure ride on a parachute. If you are not as energetic, you can relax in one of the numerous beach chairs, sunbathe and enjoy a delicious cold drink.
We are fortunate to enjoy such beautiful places in our beloved Puerto Vallarta and I hope you take time to visit Yelapa as soon as you have the chance: you won’t regret it.
Here are a couple of websites to help you with watertaxi schedules and planning your trip to Yelapa:

Abrigado en una preciosa ensenada de la Bahía de Banderas se encuentra el pacífico pueblo de Yelapa, Jalisco. Si bien hay un camino al pueblo, es mucho más fácil el acceso por barco. El taxi acuático a Yelapa sale todos los días desde diversos lugares (el muelle de Los Muertos es el más popular para embarcar) en el área de Puerto Vallarta.
La tranquilidad de Yelapa es ideal para aquellas personas que buscan un lugar para disfrutar de vacaciones enteramente relajadas. En mi visita, me dejé envolver por la magia de esta hermosa aldea de pescadores y encontramos todo tipo de diversión, entre otras actividades, paseos a caballo y una hermosa cascada de agua para explorar. Me sentí como en los viejos tiempos el hombre a caballo y las mujeres a pie.
La Playa de Yelapa, se cubre en una manta de arena dorada, y es un lugar magnífico para nadar, bucear o aventurarse a un viaje en paracaídas. Si usted no es tan enérgico, se puede relajar en una de las numerosas sillas de playa, tomar el sol, y disfrutar una deliciosa bebida fría.
Tenemos la suerte de gozar de los hermosos parajes de nuestro querido Puerto Vallarta y espero que te tomes el tiempo para visitar Yelapa tan pronto como tengas la oportunidad: no te arrepentirás.
He aquí un par de sitios web con los horarios del taxi acuático y para ayudarte en la planificación de tu viaje a Yelapa:
