Zip Line, Mules Ride and Walk on the Hanging Bridge

This is an adventure day out of Puerto Vallarta that combines zip lines, trails, a river, a mule ride and a walk across the Jorullo suspension bridge, which the provider presents as the longest vehicular suspension bridge in the world. The listed duration is 300 minutes, and private transportation is included.

The zip line circuit has 11 lines, and protective equipment is provided. The provider says expert guides look after safety. Between activities you follow trails and cross the river, and the views along the way are a large part of the appeal.

The walk on the Jorullo suspension bridge is part of the tour. On the way back, you ride a mule for about 15 minutes, which the provider says gives a different perspective on the region's rich flora. The day ends with Mexican food prepared to order and a selection of alcoholic and non-alcoholic drinks, and a tequila tasting is also included.

The listing contradicts itself slightly on food: the description mentions a meal and drinks at the end, but the exclusions list breakfast, lunch and drinks in the restaurant. Ask the operator exactly what is covered before you book.

The tour suits active travelers, but it has limits. The minimum age is 6 and the maximum weight is 110 kg (242 pounds). It is not recommended for travelers with spinal injuries, asthma, poor cardiovascular health or pregnant travelers, and a moderate level of fitness is expected.

Wear light clothing and comfortable closed shoes, and bring mosquito repellent. Cameras are not recommended for security reasons, and extra money is useful for souvenirs, photos, tequila and food. Arrive 20 minutes before your departure time at the meeting point for check-in, and be punctual.
