Location info and map

Ixtapa is a town just outside of Puerto Vallarta northeast of the airport. For those who haven't been there, the turn-off to Ixtapa is marked where the major speed bumps cross the road at the intersection with signs not only for Ixtapa but also for the university and the town of Las Palmas. Interestingly enough, Ixtapa was a much larger town than Puerto Vallarta at the time Vallarta became a municipality in 1918. Just outside Ixtapa was the land owned by the Montgomery Fruit Company, major exporter of bananas from 1924 to 1935. During this period of 11 years, workers came from the entire region, including Mascota, Talpa de Allende and Compostela. The area is also known for the archaeological digs sponsored by the Centro Universitario de la Costa. Led by investigator Dr. Joseph Mountjoy, the area is believed to have been settled as early as 600 B.C. Ixtapa continues to function primarily as an agricultural and farming center, even as it becomes one of the bedroom communities of the Banderas Bay region.
