The Olas Altas Farmers Market is a lively and vibrant Saturday market in Puerto Vallarta, praised for its fresh produce, artisanal crafts, and enjoyable live music.

"Great farmers market to grab food and fresh produce. They had fresh fruits, vegetables and eggs. I found a chocolate stand as well, along with a bunch of food stands. The prices for the chocolate and produce were pretty reasonable for the quality, everything looked very fresh. The cooked food was a bit on the pricey side.
This farmers market is definitely geared toward tourists with the pricing and everything. Still fun to checkout though, it’s very lively and the vendors were friendly. There’s also live music."

"NOT OPEN ON AUGUST. We walked all the way to the market to discover that it was not there. We then entered into the Facebook page to see a post that says its a seasonal market. It would be nice they also include that info on Google Maps."
