Universal accessibility allows the free movement of people regardless of their condition, exercising their right to the city, this is a characteristic of sustainable cities. The objective of this research was "To diagnose the areas of opportunity in the environment in the urban district 4 from the indicators of accessibility, taking as reference the 10 most frequent types of blocks in the environment in search of greater accessibility in the environment". The research is non-experimental, descriptive design, with a mixed approach, through documentation and simple observation. The level of accessibility was found by evaluating the 10 most frequent types of apples, the conditions of each of the indicators were also detected. The resulting accessibility is 46,247, rejecting the hypothesis "The urban district 4 of Puerto Vallarta has an accessible environment configuration". Puerto Vallarta is a tourist destination and has accessibility exclusively in tourist areas, it is necessary to also intervene non-exclusive areas of tourism and improve the conditions for the inhabitants. Urban actions impact on people, especially those who need better conditions to perform in the city and not be excluded from it.
