Cali Bears sells last-minute souvenirs in PVR’s public hall
Cali Bears sits outside security at Puerto Vallarta International Airport, in the main departures hall before you reach the A and B security lanes. It runs standard daytime hours that generally track flight banks, roughly early morning through early evening, but don’t bet on it late at night after the last North American departures. If you still need something with “Puerto Vallarta” printed on it before you clear security, this is one of the first stands you’ll see.
Most items at Cali Bears run in the 150–400 MXN range, from small stuffed bears and keychains up to medium plush toys and gift sets. Pricing skews touristy, so expect to pay more than downtown Malecón shops, but less than some of the luxury duty free in the A and B gate areas. It’s an easy stop for kids’ gifts when you don’t want to dig through your checked bags for that one toy you bought in town.
You won’t find snacks or drinks at Cali Bears; this stand focuses on plush toys, magnets, and small trinkets tied to Puerto Vallarta and Mexico in general. If you’re tight on time before a flight from Terminal A or B, factor in at least 10 extra minutes, since you still need to queue for security afterward. Quick tip: grab your souvenirs here first, then hit security, so you’re not backtracking from the gate area later.
