The Puerto Vallarta Maritime Terminal, also known as Puerto Mágico, is located on Blvd. Francisco Medina Ascencio Km 4.5, with its main access on Heroica Escuela Naval Militar 9 in the Marina Vallarta area, about three miles north of downtown and the Malecón. Designed as a modern cruise and tour embarkation hub, the terminal complex combines a circular, air‑conditioned terminal building and the hacienda‑style Puerto Mágico development, offering welcome halls, shops, dining, an aquarium, tourist information, and transport services, making it a versatile waterfront venue for arrivals, festivals, and nautical experiences in Bahía de Banderas.​
