Please Rate Vote 1 Vote 2 Vote 3 Vote 4 Vote 5

The traditional 12-day religious processions of the Virgin of Guadalupe, Mexico's patron saint, started this past Dec. 1st with students, businesses, civic groups and families taking part. They continue through tomorrow, Fri., Dec. 12th, culminating in the "Day of Guadalupe" (with 24 hours of processions; an estimated 50,000 people take part). Regardless of your individual faith, this is a highly recommended cultural and religious spectacle to experience. Downtown streets of Puerto Vallarta will be alive with color, costumes, candles and choirs singing as they walk to the main cathedral, celebrating Mexico's most popular religious symbol, the Virgin of Guadalupe.
Take your camera along for memorable photos. Motorists and bus commuters will probably want to take the "Tunel" bypass through Dec. 12. Bus service in *el centro* can be disrupted as well at this time of year.
