It’s time for something new in Puerto Vallarta

Inspired by the NPR storytelling phenomenon The Moth, Puerto Vallarta Friends and Events is launching The Iguana Story Hour—a lively evening of true, personal stories told in front of a friendly audience. Your host is none other than the vibrant, “Iguanarized” Crissy the Brazilian, bringing the energy, warmth, and just the right touch of mischief to keep the night moving.

You can join in person (if you’re lucky enough to be in PV) or watch live on YouTube or Facebook. Either way, you’ll feel like you’re right there in the room—laughing, reacting, and soaking up the surprises that only real stories can deliver.

Here’s how it works: come as a storyteller or come as an audience member—enjoy dinner and drinks while you listen. If you have a wild, funny, touching, or unbelievable story to share, simply fill out the form and tell us a little about it. We’ll review the submissions and invite storytellers to the mic.

Out of town? You can still be part of the action. Tune in live and watch the fun.

And yes—the venue is part of the experience. We’re hosting The Iguana Story Hour at the brand-new, elegant Brasero.pv restaurant and bar, which opened last November and has quickly become one of Puerto Vallarta’s most talked-about spots. This modern, stylish space blends Mexican soul with Mediterranean flair in a warm, welcoming way—think exposed brick accents, soft lighting, a stunning show kitchen where you can watch the chefs at work, and a beautiful bar that’s perfect for pre- or post-story cocktails.
