A private ride for your group only: start in downtown Puerto Vallarta, climb out of the city on dirt roads and follow the Río Cuale into its jungle canyon, with a break at a jungle bar by the river.
Book on WhatsAppTwo ways to ride: a private three-hour ATV tour that leaves from downtown and heads up the Río Cuale canyon, or a full day at Rancho Capomo in the Sierra Madre above Las Palmas, where the ATV circuit can be combined with ziplines and horseback riding. Every ride starts with a safety briefing, and no experience is needed.
Pro Tip
Wear closed shoes and clothes you don't mind getting muddy, and bring a change of clothes — the trails cross rivers, and in the green season (June–October) you will get wet.
