Rio Cuale ATV Tours in Puerto Vallarta

This ATV tour follows the Cuale River from Puerto Vallarta toward the Sierra Madre mountains. The operator presents it as a way to see the local surroundings of the port and take in views of the area. The full outing lasts about 210 minutes.

The route crosses small streams and winding paths until it reaches a hidden waterfall called Las Pilitas. There is time to cool off in the river and in small natural pools, with jungle all around, which makes it a good spot to rest and take photos.

Tequila is part of the day. You taste a range of fruit-based flavors, including some traditional ones. The ride then continues to the Moro Paraíso restaurant, on the riverside, where you can order seafood and meat; meals are not included in the price. Afterward the group returns to the operator's office.

The requirements are worth reading before you book. The minimum driving age is 18 years and a physical copy of your driver's license is required. Travelers should have at least a moderate level of physical fitness, and the tour is not recommended for pregnant travelers or for people with spinal injuries or poor cardiovascular health. Alcoholic drinks are served only to travelers over 18.

Safety equipment (helmet, goggles and bandana) is included, along with the guide and the tequila tasting. Gratuities, meals and ground transportation to and from the meeting point are not included. The listing does not state a meeting point, so ask for it when you book. Public transportation options are available nearby.
