Driving Directions:
From Guadalajara (north)
The route from Guadalajara is easily marked with plenty of public road signs to Puerto Vallarta. Head west on the toll hwy towards Tequila. Continue for approximately 2 hours until the turnoff to Compestela. Continue south on Hwy MEX 200 down the incredibly windy/curvy road to Las Varas and on ahead to Puerto Vallarta.
From Manzanillo (south). Take Hwy 200 North. 3/12-4 hours.
Passport/Customs
At airline check-in you must present a valid passport. Once on the plane you will be given two forms to fill out – one for immigration (Tourist Visa) and another for customs.
Once the airplane has landed the Immigration counter will be your first stop. Here you will have to present your passport with the Tourist Visa you filled out on the plane. Your tourist visa and passport will be stamped to make your arrival official. Do not lose this stamped form, you will need it to exit the country.
Next you’ll proceed to the baggage claim area for your luggage. You will need to hand in your Customs Declaration Form as you exit with your baggage. Mexico has a “Red Light – Green Light” system for customs and is completely random. If you have put “Nothing to declare” on this form, you will be asked to push a button……. If the light is green you can exit without inspection; if the light is red you will be subject to inspection. Consequently you need to be honest on your Customs Declaration and declare anything over and above what is allowed, paying all applicable duties. If you do not, and are caught by a red light, the fines may be very steep. There are some restrictions to what you bring to Mexico some of them are limits for “duty free” like cigars and cigarettes and liquor or wine, and some are absolute, such as fire arms without a Mexican permit (not to mention drugs).
