Church steeple in Puerto Vallarta, Mexico

Size: 1024×709

A church tower ends in the shape of a crown. The tower has a clock in its top third. The tower and dome of the church are seen from across a narrow stretch of water.

Puerto Vallarta is a port town on Mexico’s west coast. It is a popular port of call for cruise ships and has developed a vibrant tourism industry. The town is celebrated for its constant tropical weather as well as its beaches and adjoining islands. Recently, pollution from inadequate city sewage capabilities has caused health problems with its coastal waters, leading to a downturn in tourism.
