Combo ATV & Horse Back Riding In La Sierra Madre

This is a full-day adventure in the Sierra Madre outside Puerto Vallarta that combines ATV riding and horseback riding. The tour lasts about 390 minutes and mixes jungle trails, river crossings, a waterfall and a traditional Mexican lunch, with entrance tickets to Rancho Capomo included.

The day begins with a ride along jungle trails by the river, deep into the Sierra Madre, passing hidden paths and the village of Las Palmas, away from the tourist crowds. You then hike through tropical vegetation to a waterfall, where you can swim in clear pools. The route includes crossing remote rivers, hanging bridges and natural stairways to reach the waterfall. On the way back you ride over rugged jungle terrain and splash through rivers.

After the activity comes lunch. The operator lists sizzling fajitas or grilled chicken, guacamole that you make yourself, handmade tortillas, beans and rice, with drinks included. It is a practical way to end a physical morning.

The tour suits travelers who like being outdoors and do not mind getting wet and muddy. The operator says it is suitable for all physical fitness levels, but it is not recommended for travelers with spinal injuries, for pregnant travelers or for travelers with poor cardiovascular health. Wear comfortable clothes and shoes, and use biodegradable sunscreen and insect repellent.

Water levels in the waterfalls and pools change with the season, lower in the dry season and higher in the rainy season, and the route can change depending on conditions. Transport is in an air-conditioned vehicle and pickup from the operator's 2 meeting points is included. Tips and other expenses are not included. The listing does not give the addresses of the meeting points, so ask for them when you book.
