Experience Horse Back Riding & Ziplines

This full-day outing combines horseback riding and ziplines at a ranch described as the best ecological park in Puerto Vallarta. The itinerary lists 360 minutes, and the price includes tickets to Rancho Capomo, an air-conditioned vehicle and transportation from two meeting points.

The tour starts with the horseback route. You ride your own horse along the river into the tropical rain forest of the Sierra Madre and the village of Las Palmas, far from the tourists of Puerto Vallarta. Along the way you cross remote rivers of different shapes and sizes.

The route leads to a waterfall. You cross hanging bridges and climb steps to get there, and once at the waterfall you are invited to swim in the fresh cascades and pools below. The listing notes that the amount of water in the waterfalls and pools changes with the season, less in the dry season and more in the rainy season, and that the tour route may change with conditions.

The second part is the zipline circuit, with seven lines. The listing describes it as a way to fly between trees and rivers and discover nature in an exciting way. It is the part that suits travelers who like heights and speed, and the horseback part suits those who prefer a slower pace.

The day ends with a traditional Mexican lunch with drinks before you return to Puerto Vallarta. The listing mentions fajitas or chicken with guacamole and Mexican sauce prepared by yourself, plus handmade tortillas, beans and rice. Tips and other expenses are not included.

The tour is listed as suitable for all physical fitness levels, but there are safety restrictions: expecting mothers and people with back or neck, heart, balance or dizziness conditions are restricted. The maximum weight is 250 lbs (120 kg), and cameras are not allowed for safety reasons. Wear comfortable clothes and shoes, and use biodegradable sunscreen and insect repellent.
