Why is the "Night of the Iguana" location in Puerto Vallarta so heavily guarded? |
Travel Info In May we stayed at the south end of Puerto Vallarta in the small town of La Hoya De Mismiloya. Our resort (The Barcelo) was beyond fabulous, food, lodging and entertainment too. We walked to the spot where the movie was filmed by John Huston in 1964? Years ago anyone could walk all through the area and it was even a restaurant for awhile. Now there is a high chain link fence and razor wire at the top with armed guards and dogs patroling the area. We spoke to other tourists and some of the local residents and asked the same question. But no one could come up with any feisable ideas. That part of Puerto Vallarta has to be the most beautiful setting right next to the jungle. Can you help me figure it out? Thanks for all your help!!! Travel Tips I live here in PV and as far as I know the whole area including the old John Huston house are part of the "Rythms of the night" tour arranged by "Vallarta-Adventures". The house now is a museum, each day arrive about 300 people by boat, seeing a show, then dining and one hour of free time to visit the museum. One time I went there from the ocean side. It costs 700 Pesos and I think it is nothing else then a tourist trap. But people tend to like it. Because of this reason the area is closed for public access now and heavily guraded. Its a pitty. Others Because it is a private commercial property called Las Caletas (The show they do at night is called "Rhythms of the Night"), and the owners want to keep it nice for the people who are paying for the privilege of using their facility It's been that way for a couple years, and as already mentioned the vision of $$ signs in developers minds is the reason that area is closed. To bad but such is life in PV, the wonderful old hotel in downtown that should have been on a historical register was torn down this last year to make way for NEW development. Progress in PV? |
