Join Antonio or Jose Antonio Garcia Rivas for an eight-hour small-group outing from Puerto Vallarta to Nuevo Ixtlan. Shop for lunch in a local market, try fresh tortillas, soak in mineral pools, enjoy a grilled Mexican meal, and finish with a one-hour massage overlooking Bucerias Beach.

“Such an amazing day! Antonio was the best Host/Guide, he provided a lot of interesting information about the region. Very comfortable well kept van for transportation. We had a stop do buy our fresh produce that would be used for an delicious meal made by Antonio at the Spa. Best Carne and Chicken I had on the whole trip. His Guacamole was also incredible! So much food we weren't left wanting. The Hot Springs were perfect with different pools with different temperatures for your liking. Then it was of to get the massage on the beach, so relaxing and perfect way to round off the day. I highly recommend this…”

3.Natural Hot Springs Experience

★★★★★★★★★★5.0 · 81 reviews · 7 hours (approx.) · from $175

Leave Cabo with Carlos or Max for a private Sierra de la Laguna outing. Soak in warm mineral pools, swim in cold river water, and choose an easy visit or a rocky hike to waterfalls and secluded springs. Pickup, transport, guide, snacks, and reserve entry are included. Lunch is optional.

“This was such an incredible experience. Carlos was an amazing guide who truly went above and beyond to make the trip memorable. Carols was knowledgeable, encouraging, and clearly passionate about the area. The landscape was absolutely stunning, with views that made every step worth it. If you choose the more difficult hike option, just be prepared for a good amount of bouldering and scrambling. It’s definitely adventurous and physically demanding, but also a lot of fun if you’re up for the challenge. Overall, this was an unforgettable experience, and I can’t recommend it enough.”
