OUR ADVICE:
Every spectator
at a bullfight must understand the culture and
tradition behind this event, as well as the scoring and
judging that is taking place in order to appreciate what is
really happening.
If you do not
take the time to read and understand the bullfights, you may
not enjoy this event. We do not recommend that you
bring young children - they are too young to understand the
ceremonial nature of the bullfights in Puerto Vallarta, and
will witness animals being killed, which could be traumatic
for them.
We've
provided you with a few links to information about the
bullfights that we strongly encourage you to read prior to

your enjoyment of the event. They are located in the
green table in the middle of the page.
Disclaimer: We have made every effort to provide you
with the information you need to decide if the bullfights
are right for you. We are unable to issue a refund if
you do not enjoy this event. This page in no way
endorses the art of bullfighting - we only offer you the

and the information and opportunity to form your own views,
one way or the other.

BULLFIGHTING
Puerto Vallarta is one of
many Mexican cities to engage in one of the most historic
and treasured traditions of the colonial Spanish culture -
bullfighting. At Plaza de Toros, just a short walk
from the Cruise Ship Pier in Marina Vallarta, the spectacle
will take place, as four of Vallarta's finest matadors will
take center ring and battle the ferocious bull to the death.
The bullfights in
Puerto Vallarta feature pomp and pageantry, with the
folkloric flair that symbolizes bullfighting in Mexico.
Dating back in Spanish tradition as far as 711 A.D., this
grand spectacle is viewed in Mexican and Spanish culture as
not only a test of courage and bravery by the matador, but
as a way to pay tribute to the bull's awesome strength and
spirit prior to it's death, as well as a celebration of the
cultural ideals regarding machismo.
Come and enjoy the
spectacle - the costumes, the live music, and of course the
epic battle between man and beast! Olé!
IMPORTANT: These
are real bullfights, not bloodless ones. The four
bulls in this event are actually killed. Not
recommended for children, or sensitive adults. Please
be sure to read the "Our Advice" column at left. Not
sure if bullfighting is right for you?
