“Aug, 2015, my husband and I joined the tour to celebrate my 60th birthday. It was one of the most memorable celebrations. We had so much fun. The adventure has various courses and not just zips lines, and that makes it interesting. The guides, Alexis, Erick, Gio, Daza, Alan lead by team leader, Fercho were super friendly and efficient. There wasnt a minute we had doubt for our safety. The team knows what they are doing. I finished the whole event with a shot of Tequila from Fercho for my birthday. Viva Mexico! We give this experience a 20, all hands up.”

Ride an ATV or RZR from Puerto Vallarta into the Sierra Madre, splash at El Salto waterfall, and cross the Jorullo suspension bridge with a guide. Expect steep, bumpy roads, dust, mountain views, and about 5.5 hours including transport, a drink stop, and tequila tasting.

“Dusty is understatement but they do give you goggles, napkin, & helmet. The RZRs are pretty old & worn but functionable. The tour says 5-5.5 hrs but what they don't tell you is over an hour is just waiting at their restaurant w/ no other way to get back if you didn't want to buy their stuff.”

7.ATV Tour R.R

★★★★★★★★★★4.5 · 402 reviews · 2 hours (approx.) · from $110

Ride an ATV through the Sierra Madre with guides such as Alex, Eric, or Alejandro, stop at the El Salto waterfall for a swim, then taste tequila with Esmeralda. The ride itself takes about two hours, but transport, lunch, and tasting can make the outing four to six hours.

“The directions via email sent us to the wrong office and we were advised by the nice lady at the desk to schedule for another day. But that was unacceptable. Another group was also sent to the wrong office. Our two parties decided to get a cab and go to the real location for 250 Mexican Pesos. That being said. This was probably the most fun excursion I have done in years. You go to a virginal rain forest with a spectacular view. The location is sparsely populated - good for social distancing. The ATV we rode was of superior quality, very comfortable and safe! The guide Alejandro was amazing…”

Leave Puerto Vallarta by Rancho Capomo’s white van for a guided ride through the Sierra Madre. Cross rivers, rope bridges, and forest paths to a waterfall, then enjoy Mexican food and handmade tortillas. Add ATV riding or 13 zip lines if you want a bigger dose of adventure.

“We travelled with teenage daughters, and we all loved the excursion! Our daughter said it was the best food of the whole 9 day trip. We felt that we had personal guides, it wasn’t crowded and everyone was happy and glad to be there. You do need to be half way coordinated and in fair shape, this is an active excursion. I recommend doing the zip lines and ATV option as well, ad the ATV ride was my husbands favorite and the zip lines were the girls’ favorite. Overall an excellent day with absolutely no complaints. If you can’t have fun on this one, you may not be capable of…”

We stopped at a restaurant on the way there to get some snack and later stopped by the same restaurant for lunch afterwards and the food was amazing. The ATV ride was super fun there were a lot of cows on the trails but luckily they were not blocking on path. The ride however was very dusty and we got very dirty…”
