ATV Single Jungle Adventure-Waterfalls, Tequila & Local Culture"

This single-rider ATV tour combines jungle riding, waterfalls, tequila and local culture on a half-day trip from Puerto Vallarta into the Sierra Madre. The listed duration is 210 minutes. The listing describes the ride as a chance to leave the crowded tourist centers behind and see what it calls the real Jalisco.

The route crosses jungle rivers and goes through picturesque villages. The ride then leads back through the jungle to a plateau, where the views take in the area and the surrounding mountains. The title mentions waterfalls, but the description does not say where they are, so ask the operator which ones are visited when you book.

On the plateau you can watch for wildlife. The listing says you may see much of the local fauna, and that macaw parrots flying across the blue sky are not unusual. It is a good place to slow down and look at the mountain landscape.

The tequila part covers how tequila is made, along with a tasting of locally made tequila, including flavored tequilas produced in the traditional way that the listing says are not sold outside Mexico. The price includes the tasting, a bilingual guide, the use of a safety helmet and approximately 15 miles (24 km) of ATV riding.

The tour is meant for people who enjoy driving off-road and who have at least a moderate level of fitness. It is not recommended for travelers with spinal injuries or poor cardiovascular health, or for pregnant travelers. Drivers must be at least 16 years old with a driver’s permit and a valid license, and passengers on an ATV must be at least 7.

Pack cash in Mexican pesos, closed shoes and comfortable clothes, plus biodegradable sunscreen and insect repellent. Food and beverages, tips and hotel pick-up and drop-off are not included, and the listing does not name a meeting point, so confirm it when you book.
