Highlights
  • Río de La Plata 246 - This off-road adventure up the River Cuale in Puerto Vallarta is the best way to get a taste of the Mexican lifestyle & capture breathtaking views of Vallarta’s natural beauty.

First, pass through Mexican villages where the River is flowing next to the road. We wind our way through the Sierra Madre Mountains where we will arrive at a hidden waterfall for refreshing drink, where you relax at a river fed pool . This is a great place to take pictures and enjoy the lush jungle setting.

We then venture back down the mountain and then back up to the highest point above the Cuale River known to locals as “the view”, this is a place with views comparable to the Grand Canyon.

We then venture back down the mountain for a stop at Moro Paraiso for tequila tasting. You will get a lesson on how tequila is made, the proper way to drink it, all the different varieties available, etc. You can also have lunch (not included) at this authentic Mexican riverfront restaurant, and enjoy some of the best food in all of Puerto Vallarta.

Great first time ATV experience - Our first experience with this adventure was fantastic, and as a family of four, we found it to be well-organized, punctual, and mindful of safety precautions, including the provision of helmets, goggles, and bandanas. As we journeyed through the city streets, our guides provided instructions and ensured our safety at every turn. The adventure took an exciting turn as we ventured onto dusty and muddy trails, offering us a thrilling ATV ride experience. We took the first stop at a picturesque waterfall, where we had the option to either take a refreshing dip or indulge in tequila tasting and snacks at a nearby shop. We also enjoyed a delightful lunch at a local restaurant during our second stop before making our way back. The experience was enjoyed by our family. A word of advice: prepare for dust - it's best to wear clothes and shoes that you don't mind getting a bit dirty.

Fun vacation - The staff was remarkable and the landscape was very nice. Hard to maneuver through the city to get to our trail, but all was good. Food was terrific.

Fun and safe tour. - Great trip. Very safe and fun way to see a different part of Puerto Vallarta. The tequila tasting is at a restaurant where you can buy drinks. It is on a farm where they grow their own fruit for their tequila. Informative tasting. Then they take a stop at a restaurant great prices for lunch. Well worth the price.

Had a great time, not... - Had a great time, not just a SXS tour they stop at a small family owned farm and you do tequila tastings and learn about the farm from Hunter who is from the US which was great being able to really understand what he was teaching about their process of making the tequila. Then they show you around the farm and the rentable rooms they have there. Then you ride up the mountain to some awesome views and another small family farm with awesome swimming hole and pools if you want to swim I’m sure you can (we did not). After a couple hours of riding you go back down the hill and can eat at a small lunch spot in town before going back to the sxs tour location. Would definitely recommend and do it again! Alex was our guide and he was awesome!

Must try driving Can-Am coast and jungle adventure!! - What an incredible experience. My husband and I were in a Can-Am that took us from the city along the coast, up into the jungle to a remote location where we were able to jump into fresh water and explore a part of PV we never would’ve found. So much fun and Alex and Cesar made it an amazing experience. Highly highly recommend! Things to note, you do get pretty dusty when the Can-Ams are off road so don’t wear your nicest clothing, being a bathing suit to get in the water and bring cash for when you stop (drinks, food and a tequila tasting are stops along the way)!!

Nice relaxing excursion for family - Nice excursion, reasonably priced and planned out. Have been on similar excursions where there is so much packed in that they have felt rushed, this one was not! Staff were friendly and took the time to explain your surroundings. We went on the Cualle 3 hour tour.

Fun ride but won’t do it again - The ride was good but when we got to the first stop we had to wait very long time. It was too long of a stop. Also at the end of the tour we gave a tip and the guide complained that it was too little of a tip.

Ungrateful people - The ATVs were fun, but we stayed at the first stop for over 2 hours. Thus, we didn’t get to go to lunch. Additionally, do not tip them! I gave them a tip and the complained that it was too little and scolded me. I couldn’t believe it! Not good people
