Tiki in Puerto Vallarta, Mazatlan or Cabo San Lucas, Mexico? - General Tiki

There are PLENTY of pufferfish to buy... and they don't have those dumb plastic eyes glued to them like you find in the states. The best place I found was where I mentioned... it is along the River Cuale on a path where other little shops are. A hut full of puffers and they are huge. Talk them down from their original price though, as with almost everything sold in PV you can bargain with them and they expect that. Enjoy... I loved PV and would like to go back again someday...
