If you’re looking for secret things to do in Puerto Vallarta, take a road trip to the beach town of Mayto, which is about a two-hour drive from the city. I recently got the chance to visit, and it now ranks as one of the best overnight trips from Puerto Vallarta.

There are a few modest hotels and guesthouses to spend the night, but otherwise, this is the perfect place to disconnect from the world and connect with nature. The stretch of beach goes on for miles – I even saw turtles coming up to give birth!
