Private ATV tour with waterfall and Tequila tasting

This private ATV outing, called the Dirty Monkey Tour, explores the Sierra Madre of Puerto Vallarta on mountain trails, terrace roads, creek crossings and small local villages. The operator promises the most natural side of the region, and the whole experience lasts about 180 minutes. The title also mentions a waterfall and a tequila tasting.

The tour starts at the operator's base with a safety talk, where you receive protective gear and your assigned quad bike. Guides accompany the group throughout. The first stop, about 10 minutes, is the Coyote viewpoint, with views of the Sierra Madre and some information about the area. Then you drive the ATV for approximately 1 hour and 20 minutes, passing viewpoints and small towns on the way to Agua Zarca.

At the waterfall you stop for about 15 minutes to soak in the clear water. The next stop, about 60 minutes, is Rancho Mi Abuelo, where you can have breakfast or lunch, taste organic margaritas, learn to make tortillas in a hands-on way and try a tequila tasting with a range of flavors. After that you drive back to the base camp, around 15 minutes without stopping. The description also mentions a stop to rest, swim and have a drink or snack, which are not included.

The tour suits couples, friends and travelers looking for adventure, nature and fun, and it is suitable for all fitness levels, though it is not recommended for pregnant travelers, people with spinal injuries or poor cardiovascular health.
