Horseback Riding to the Waterfalls

This is a horseback riding outing to waterfalls in the Sierra Madre mountains above Puerto Vallarta, listed at 300 minutes. The operator is a ranch that says it has been in the travel industry for more than 30 years.

The ranch sits up in the mountains and, according to the operator, all of its staff live in the surrounding communities. The stated idea is that this is the best way to see the real Mexico, so the day is as much about the countryside and local people as about the ride itself.

The listing gives no detailed itinerary, so we cannot describe the route, the number of waterfalls or the time spent at each stop. What it does state is that the outing includes brunch and meals, which makes it a full morning-to-afternoon excursion rather than a short ride.

It suits travelers who are comfortable on a horse and want time in nature. The operator does not recommend it for travelers with spinal injuries or for pregnant travelers, and it lists the activity as suitable for all fitness levels; if you have doubts about your condition, ask before you book.

Transportation to and from the meeting points is not included, and the listing does not say where those points are. Arrange how you will get there with the operator when you book, and confirm the meeting place and time.
