Challenging ATV or RZR Tour on the Jorullo Suspension Bridge

This off-road adventure takes you across the Jorullo suspension bridge aboard your own ATV or RZR. The operator describes the bridge as 470 meters long and 150 meters high, and bills it as the longest vehicular suspension bridge in the world. The listed duration is 330 minutes in total, which includes transfers to the park.

The day begins at the meeting point, where you check in and then ride a shuttle to the park, a stretch of about 60 minutes that also serves as a scenic tour of the city. At the park you get behind the wheel of an ATV or RZR and follow terraced roads through wild landscapes, with mountains and clear streams along the way. The ride crosses the bridge and finishes at a waterfall that the operator says is good for a swim, with panoramic views over the Sierra Madre.

You can go in groups of four, in pairs or on your own. The riding itself lasts approximately two and a half hours, and the listed total of five and a half hours includes the transfers. The itinerary allots about 180 minutes to the ride and the waterfall. A tequila tasting at the top of the mountain, described as optional, closes the tour.

The experience is meant for people with a moderate level of fitness. It is not recommended for pregnant travelers, for people with spinal injuries or for travelers with poor cardiovascular health. Passengers must be at least 6 years old, and drivers at least 18 with a valid driver's license, which the operator says is mandatory and must be presented. Alcohol or drugs are not permitted. The tour has a maximum of 25 travelers.

For the practical side, wear sports or closed shoes, since they are needed to shift gears on the ATVs. Weight limits apply: 160 kg (352 lb) for an ATV with one passenger, 220 kg (484 lb) with two, 226 kg (500 lb) for an RZR with two passengers and 362 kg (800 lb) with four. A non-refundable collision insurance fee of 10 USD per ATV or 20 USD per RZR is requested at check-in and covers damage up to 500 USD. Food and drink and entrance fees are not included.
