Following the highway further south from Mismaloya you will see a sign for Boca de Tomatlan, a charming, secluded sea-side village that is well worth a visit. The Artist's home tour takes you on a visit to leading local and international artists in their studios and their homes. The Friendship Home Tour takes you on a visit to four spectacular private villas. City buses are a convenient and inexpensive way to see Vallarta. The bus rides are also very entertaining.
Minstrels jump on the buses, whip off a few songs and ask for pesos.
You can even catch a clown act on the local city buses.
