MOVE TO MEXICO WITH CLARITY & CONFIDENCE.

You’ve worked hard. You’ve built a life. Now, you’re wondering what’s next.

You picture a life where your money goes further, the sun shines brighter, and every day feels like an adventure. A life with less stress and more living. But the “how” feels overwhelming. How do you navigate healthcare? Where do you even start looking for a home? How do you connect with a new community?

That’s where we come in. We’ve designed a seamless, 1-day scouting trip to replace your questions with confidence. This isn’t a vacation; it’s a hands-on-the-ground, expert-led preview of your new life in Mexico.

WHY PUERTO VALLARTA?

Take it from us, full-time residents—this is one of Mexico's safest, most welcoming, and beautiful coastal cities. If this is your first time visiting our paradise, it certainly won't be your last.

A Vibrant and Active Black Community

You won’t be navigating this journey alone. Puerto Vallarta is home to a vibrant, active, and growing Black expat community that is deeply connected. From organized meetups and beach days to community service and entrepreneurial networking, there is a "tribe" here waiting to welcome you. Whether you are looking for professional connections or a weekend brunch crew, you will find a supportive network of brothers and sisters who have already made the transition and are eager to help you do the same.

WHY YOU'LL LOVE LIVING IN PV

  • You Are Celebrated, Not Just Tolerated: PV is known for its genuine warmth and hospitality. With a thriving Black expat community and friendly locals, you can be your authentic self and feel truly embraced.

  • Peace of Mind: Consistently rated one of the safest cities in Mexico, Puerto Vallarta allows you to actually exhale. That weight you’ve been carrying? You can finally let it go here.

  • A Coastal City with Soul: PV offers rich culture, cobblestone streets, and incredible culinary experiences. It is modern with reliable amenities and infrastructure, giving you the perfect balance of "old world" charm and "new world" convenience.

  • Effortless Travel: Direct flights from many US hubs and a 15-minute ride from the airport mean no long travel days. Safe, affordable Ubers, city bus transportation, and walkable sidewalks make Puerto Vallarta one of the best cities in Mexico to call “home.”

"FLY & TRY" PACKAGE DETAILS

Stop Guessing. Start Envisioning.

You can watch YouTube videos all day, but nothing replaces walking the streets of your future home. This 4-hour private experience is curated to take you from "tourist" to "local." We peel back the curtain on Puerto Vallarta so you can see exactly what your new life will look like.

Here is your VIP backstage pass to living in paradise:

  • Neighborhoods & Real Life: We skip the tourist traps. Instead, we take you through the neighborhoods where you will actually live. We’ll show you the best organic markets, the "secret" grocery stores with American imports, and the hidden gems that make daily life here a joy.

  • Healthcare with Confidence: Nervous about medical care abroad? Let’s erase that fear. We will stop by a top-tier medical facility so you can see the modern infrastructure for yourself, meet the staff, and get your questions answered by professionals.

  • The "Reality Check" Apartment Tour: Forget filtered online photos. We take you inside a real apartment that fits your specific budget. See the views, touch the finishes, and understand exactly what your money gets you in the current market.

  • Lunch & "Real Talk": Enjoy a complimentary lunch at one of our favorite local spots. This is your chance to ask us anything—unfiltered—about the good, the bad, and the beautiful parts of expat life.

  • Private V.I.P. Transport: Relax in a private, air-conditioned van with your English-speaking guide. No sweating on public buses—this is about scouting your future in comfort.

  • The "Golden Rolodex": The tour ends, but the support doesn't. You get exclusive access to our trusted "Dream Team"—our vetted realtor, insurance broker, healthcare provider, and immigration facilitator.
