Rhythms of the Night, long considered the quintessential dinner-and-show experience of Puerto Vallarta and Riviera Nayarit, is entering a new culinary chapter. Adventures Group, the leading tour operator in Mexico’s Bay of Banderas, has introduced Premier Gastronomic Journey, a refined dining experience created in collaboration with acclaimed Mexican chef Paco Ruano. For the first time, Mexico’s No. 1 nighttime experience, ALMA, Rhythms of the Night, is partnering with a chef to develop a signature menu, bringing haute cuisine to one of the country’s most iconic evening spectacles. The result is an immersive experience that seamlessly blends gastronomy, nature and performance art in a dramatic waterfront setting. Widely recognized for a contemporary style deeply rooted in Mexican culinary traditions, Ruano has built an international reputation through his work in some of the world’s most prestigious Michelin-starred kitchens. His flagship restaurant, Alcalde, is featured on The World’s 50 Best Restaurants list and ranked No. 15 on Latin America’s 50 Best Restaurants 2025, following notable placements in previous editions. At ALMA, Rhythms of the Night, Ruano presents an exclusive menu inspired by the flavors of the Pacific and executed with modern technique. The dishes spotlight local seafood, seasonal produce and regional culinary heritage, interpreted through a refined and contemporary lens. The evening begins with a sunset cruise across Banderas Bay, transporting guests to a secluded tropical cove illuminated only by candles and torches. Following the dining experience, guests enjoy preferential access to ALMA, the acclaimed open-air performance directed by Artistic Director Mukhtar Mukhtar.
