Mountain Tour Puerto Vallarta Electric Bikes

This electric bike tour combines a ride through central Puerto Vallarta with a climb into the mountains behind the town. The whole outing is listed at about four hours. The electric bikes are meant to make the climb manageable, although the operator still recommends at least a moderate level of physical fitness.

The first part stays in town. You cruise along the Malecón, stopping to look at the sculptures and historic landmarks. The description names the municipal square, the Church of Guadalupe, the Los Muertos pier, Isla del Río Cuale, Gringo Gulch and the house associated with Elizabeth Taylor among the points of interest in the center.

After crossing the Cuale river island, the route heads uphill toward the mountains. According to the description, it passes through the neighborhoods of Romance and Paso Ancho and ends in the Vallejo mountains before reaching the ranch, which the listing spells Rancho Mi Abuelo in one place and Mi Abuela in another.

The ranch is the main stop, about 60 minutes. It is described as a hidden spot in the mountains, known for warm service, local flavors and natural pools in the river. Here you can cool off in the river pools, order optional food at the restaurant, take part in a tequila tasting and make handmade tortillas. Afterward the group rides back to Puerto Vallarta.

For planning, the tour includes bottled water. Meals and alcoholic drinks are not included, so the optional food at the ranch is an extra expense to keep in mind. The tour is not recommended for travelers with spinal injuries, pregnant travelers or people with poor cardiovascular health, and specialized infant seats are available. Public transportation is available nearby.
