My Profile

I moved to Vallarta twelve years ago looking for a lifestyle change and some adventure in a tropical climate. I chose Mexico because I love and respect the Mexican culture, its art, music, architecture, history, food, and especially its kind and friendly people.

Ten years ago, l became an experiential tour guide with my own business, Puerto Vallarta Walking Tours. I have aimed to immerse my clients in the local culture by sharing my knowledge while introducing them to the artisans and merchants who have become my friends. This has lent a depth to what I offer and inspired my passion as a freelance cultural photographer.

I am fully certified by the national Department of Tourism. My M.Ed. and years of experience in marketing and sales have enhanced and supported my love of helping others through education and personal adventures. When not giving walking tours, I work remotely as a freelance cultural photographer and writer.

Come take a walk with me. You won’t be disappointed!

Bienvenidos, Sandra
