Cirque du Soleil LUDÕ show in Puerto Vallarta

Creativity takes centre stage at Cirque du Soleil's LUDÕ, an immersive show inspired by the mystery of Mexico's jungle cenotes. Following the theatre director Ludovico's journey through imagination, memory and self-discovery, every moment combines storytelling with the artistry Cirque du Soleil is known for. The custom-built theatre transforms water into part of the spectacle, creating a setting where acrobatics, music and visual effects flow seamlessly together. We recommend arriving around an hour before the performance, and as there's no food or drink service during the show, it's worth planning ahead. There's also the option to pair the performance with a specially designed dinner. Each course has been created to reflect a chapter of the story, turning the meal into part of the performance through carefully crafted flavours, textures and presentation.
