Jungle Viking/RZR Tour For 2 passangers in Eden & Coast Adventure

This off-road outing from Puerto Vallarta is designed for two passengers and is run with Viking or RZR vehicles, taking you from the coast up into the Sierra Madre. The route links a scenic highway, the village of Mismaloya, an eco-park called EDÉN and a mountaintop tequila distillery in Nogalito. The listed duration is 210 minutes, with a morning and an afternoon departure.

The first stretch follows a highway with the bay on one side and lush jungle on the other. One of the landmarks along the way is Los Arcos, a protected natural reserve that locals treat as an icon of Vallarta. From there the route passes through Mismaloya, a small village, before it starts to climb into the mountains.

The climb ends at EDÉN, an eco-park described as a place of waterfalls, history and untouched nature. The park was also one of the locations used in the 1987 film Predator, which is a nice detail if you are a fan. The schedule sets aside time here for lunch and swimming, but keep in mind that food and drinks are not part of the price, so bring money for anything you want to order.

The last stop is a rustic distillery high in the mountains at Nogalito. Experts explain the traditional way tequila is made, and you taste artisanal tequilas before the ride back to the starting facilities. The itinerary gives an indicative timetable: check-in at 9:00 am or 1:00 pm, a welcome briefing twenty minutes later, departure at 9:30 am or 1:30 pm, arrival at the park around 10:20 am or 2:20 pm, tequila tasting at 11:45 am or 3:45 pm, and check-out at about 12:15 pm or 4:15 pm. The order of the activities may vary. Those times add up to less than the 210 minutes listed for the tour, so it is worth confirming the real length when you book.

This tour suits travelers who enjoy driving or riding off-road and have at least a moderate level of fitness. It is not recommended if you have a spinal injury, poor cardiovascular health or are pregnant.
