Thrilling ATV Shared , Waterfalls, Wildlife & Tequila Tasting"

This shared ATV tour climbs into the Sierra Madre Mountains from Puerto Vallarta along the Cuale River. It combines riding through villages and jungle with a hidden waterfall, natural pools, wildlife, a tequila tasting and a riverside stop, over about 24 km (15 miles) of off-road riding.

The route crosses small streams and winding paths until it reaches a hidden waterfall called Las Pilitas. There you have time to cool off in the river and its small natural pools, surrounded by jungle, and to relax and take photos. The description also mentions a hidden jungle bar with clear spring pools, where you can swim or order a margarita; drinks are not included.

Along the way you can enjoy mountain views and may see wildlife such as macaw parrots. The tequila tasting introduces the traditional way tequila is made. The ride then continues to Moro Paraiso, a spot by the river where you can try local cuisine. Food is not included, so bring cash or a card for lunch.
