Puerto Vallarta Zipline, Mule ride and Jorullo Bridge Walking

This half-day adventure in the mountains above Puerto Vallarta packs several activities into about 300 minutes: eleven zip lines, a mule ride, a walk across the Jorullo Bridge and a tequila tasting at the end. The operator says it is the only tour in Puerto Vallarta that combines the zip lines with a walk across what it describes as the world’s largest suspension bridge.

The zip line circuit has 11 lines, which the operator calls the safest in Banderas Bay. You also ride a mule, which gives the day a change of pace from the cables. The Jorullo Bridge is crossed on foot, so you take it in at walking speed rather than at zip line speed.

The setting is mountain scenery, and the tour includes an infinity pool with a view over the mountains. It is a place to pause between the more active stops. The day closes with a tequila tasting, presented as a way to relax after all the adrenaline.

The operator points out that the departure and return point is well located, which is why it works for cruise passengers as well as other visitors, and that the whole thing takes only five hours. Round-trip transportation from the meeting point is included, but getting to the meeting point is up to you.

Check the fitness and health notes before booking. Travelers should have at least a moderate level of physical fitness, and the tour is not recommended for people with spinal injuries, poor cardiovascular health or pregnancy. There is a weight limit of 250 pounds per guest.

Food and drinks, gratuities and photographs are not included, so bring cash for tips and anything you want to buy. Public transportation options are available nearby if you need to reach the meeting point that way. The source gives no exact meeting point, so ask the operator once you have booked.
