The Core of the Tour: What to Expect

This tour kicks off at the Canopy River office in Zona Romantica, which is conveniently located for travelers staying in Puerto Vallarta. After checking in and getting a quick safety briefing, you’ll hop onto the shuttle that will take you up the mountain to the adventure site. From there, the real fun begins.

ATV Riding Through the Jungle

Once at the base, you’ll get instructions and the chance to practice before setting off on your ATV journey. You can choose between single or double ATVs, which caters well whether you’re traveling solo or with a partner. The ride takes you through the jungle and Sierra Madre Mountains, giving you a chance to really feel the raw beauty of Puerto Vallarta’s countryside.

Travelers report that guides are friendly and attentive, helping everyone feel comfortable on the ATVs. The trail itself is a mix of dirt paths and scenic vistas, with some reviews mentioning that the ride is exhilarating but manageable, even for beginners. We loved the way the guides kept things safe but fun, and many said they appreciated the chance to get off the beaten path and explore some less touristy areas.

Zip Lining: Soaring Through the Canopy

After your ATV adventure, you’ll gear up again for the zip lines, which stretch across the treetops and mountainsides. You’ll experience 11 zip lines, with eight of them offering that swooping feeling of wind on your face. The views as you glide from platform to platform are a real highlight, with many reviews noting how breathtaking the scenery is.

The guides provide water stations during the zip lining, so you can stay hydrated while marveling at the lush landscape below. The safety briefings and gear ensure that even those new to zip lining can enjoy the thrill without worry. For some, this part of the tour is the most memorable — feeling like you’re flying high above the jungle, looking down on the canopy.

Cultural Touch: Tequila Tasting

Once you’ve zipped your last line, it’s time to relax with a tequila tasting. It’s a nice way to wind down, sample some authentic local spirits, and learn a bit about Mexico’s most famous drink. The tasting is included in the price, which adds to the overall value considering the full scope of activities.
