The Footbridge Experience in Puerto Vallarta
While on vacation in Puerto Vallarta you must experience walking over the footbridge over by the once popular Rizo grocery market over the River Cuale into the outdoor market and a shortcut to the Malecon in old town Vallarta. Here you may have the delight and laughter crossing the famous wooden rope bridge. This is a fun walk when you take a Puerto Vallarta vacations.
The footbridge is known throughout Vallarta. The boards to walk on are very unstable, uneven, wobbly and occasionally one of two boards are missing which will require a long step. We were so terrified and not ready to have this experience but we did it anyway. Just imagine, our fingers were woven through the fence, and we held the wire with a tight grip. When we had about one-quarter distance to the other side, we saw a crowd of cheering school boys, wearing white dress shirts, blue pants, and the black oxford shoes. Their galloping and laughing clearly showed us that they have easily traveled passed.
Somehow we managed to the foot-bridge trip safe and sound. Now, we have become skilled crossing for the foot-bridge even sometimes carrying heavy shopping bags from the market. The miracles do not stop here as elderly women and men holding their walking cane and sticks walk over the bridge. The smooth walking of mothers holding their babies left us wondering as they passed by us.
We witnessed over the years the fall of the footbridge in disrepair and was renewed and put back in shape. Unfortunately, the foot-bridge crumbled with the battering rising water of the River Cuale and was crushed.
Plans are being discussed to rebuild this icon in Puerto Vallarta with a secure and safer foot-bridge. We hope the city will decide to replace the foot-bridge once the rainy season is over in October. There are two bridges made of concrete on either side for the less brave to take the short-cut.
