Ride sure-footed mountain horses through the Sierra Madre jungle to a thundering freshwater waterfall and natural swimming pool hidden deep in the canopy. One of Puerto Vallarta's most magical and memorable half-day adventures.
What to expect
After a scenic 30-minute truck transfer into the foothills, experienced wranglers match you to your horse and lead the group along jungle trails alive with parrots and howler monkeys. The highlight is arriving at a cascade of cool, clear mountain water — perfect for a swim before the leisurely ride back. Cold agua fresca and fresh tropical fruit await at the rancho on your return.
Good to know
Closed-toe shoes or boots required; long trousers highly recommended. Tours run morning departures and finish in approximately 4 hours total — very comfortable for most all-aboard times. Weight limit of 240 lbs (109 kg) applies. Book in advance as horse numbers are limited.
