Hiking Jorullo Point

This is a guided hiking tour in the Sierra Madre Occidental, near Puerto Vallarta, focused on the scenery and the outdoors and on learning about the local flora and fauna. It is listed at about 300 minutes and finishes with a tequila tasting. Transport from a central location in Puerto Vallarta and a professional guide are part of the package.

The listing describes the outing in broad strokes. You hike in the mountains with a professional guide who explains the plants and animals you see, and a professional photographer guide is also part of the team. The tour name refers to Jorullo Point, and the listing mentions a glass platform, where socks are mandatory. It does not give a stop-by-stop route, so ask the operator if you want the details.

The tequila tasting is the closing act of the day, a way to try a local drink after time on the trail. Souvenir photos and a DVD are available to buy, but they are not part of the price.

The tour suits travelers who enjoy nature and are comfortable on a hike. Travelers should have at least a moderate level of physical fitness, and the minimum age is 12. It is not recommended for pregnant travelers, travelers with spinal injuries or people with poor cardiovascular health.

Bring insect repellent and sunscreen, and do not forget socks for the glass platform.

Food and drinks, the DVD, souvenir photos and hotel pickup and drop-off are not included. The listing gives no meeting point, so confirm it when you book.
