Puerto Vallarta Waterfall & Jungle Hiking Adventure

Embark on a delightful journey with your family on our most gentle yet captivating hiking adventure. Crafted especially for families with young children, this hike offers an exploration that promises unforgettable memories. The trail, cocooned in shade of the jungle canopy from start to finish, follows the meandering river, offering a constant opportunity to cool off in its soothing waters.

Diverse pathways await, allowing you to select your preferred river experience, whether it's clambering over river boulders or strolling along a tranquil path. The choice is yours to make, tailored to your preferences.

Our expedition commences with a scenic 20-minute bus ride from Puerto Vallarta, transporting you just outside the bustling city. Stepping off the bus, we seamlessly transition into our riverside hike, occasionally wading through the gentle flow of the river, usually never exceeding knee depth. 

The essence of our tour is to gift the young ones in your family a wild adventure of river and jungle, etching indelible memories into their hearts. For them, it will feel as though they've journeyed deep into the heart of an untouched wilderness, far from modernity. Yet, rest assured, parents, for essential services remain within reach, including the presence of law enforcement and medical assistance. Should your group prefer, there are predominantly flat trail alternatives that hug the river's edge, maintaining comfort without compromising the sense of exploration that children crave – not to mention the relief of occasional river immersion.

This hike is intentionally curated to evoke the ambiance of an authentic jungle escapade – a mirage that fades when faced with the undeniable reality of the magnificent waterfall. Renowned as the epitome of romantic cascades within the expansive bay area, its breathtaking beauty stands as a testament to nature's artistry.

Amidst our adventure, we'll dedicate a generous 1-1,5 hours to bask in the refreshing embrace of the waterfall's crystalline pool. Here, nature's grandeur sets the stage, offering ample colossal boulders perfect for relishing your packed meals. Please bear in mind, there are no vendors in this pristine sanctuary, so ensure your family is well-equipped with sustenance.

Upon our descent downriver, the afternoon warmth encourages us to pause at additional pools, rejuvenating spirits and bodies alike. As we rejoin civilization at the road's edge, a bus will return us to Puerto Vallarta's Romantic Zone. Anticipate arriving around 3 pm, enriched by a day that blends the tranquility of nature with the cherished bonds of family.
