Start your day with an exhilarating Horseback and ATV Adventure through the Sierra Madre jungle. Available from 8:15 AM to 1:15 PM, this tour offers a unique opportunity to ride through the dense forest on horseback, discovering hidden waterfalls and the vibrant flora and fauna of the region. As one reviewer noted on 2024-09-02:

Unforgettable experience - We went on vacation with our boys a few days ago. We did the tour on horseback, ATV and then we ate at the ranch. It was an unforgettable experience. Recommended 100% especially if you appreciate the beauty of nature and love horseback riding. Don’t forget bug repellent at all lol. The owner, the guides, the cooks, they all make sure that everyone is well taken care of. The food…wow. Absolutely delicious. Oh and we also tried freshly brewed tequila. My favorite was the pineapple flavored one, it was amazing.

After a morning of adventure, take a moment to relax and enjoy a delicious lunch at Rancho Capomo, where the flavors of authentic Mexican cuisine come alive. With unlimited drinks and a variety of alcoholic beverages, it’s the perfect way to unwind and recharge for the next adventure.

Thrills and Spills in the South Bay

As the afternoon sun casts a golden glow over the city, it’s time to embark on an off-road adventure through the tropical forests of South Bay. The UTV Off-Road Adventure is available from 8:00 AM to 2:30 PM, offering a heart-pounding ride through challenging terrains and steep slopes. Feel the rush of adrenaline as you navigate your personal Polaris RZR UTV through the dense forest, guided by expert professionals who ensure your safety and enjoyment.

One reviewer shared their experience on 2024-07-16:

Awesome thrills and fun experience - This might be our favorite excursion yet. From beginning to end this company and staff make sure you are having a great time. Tommy our guide was so friendly, knowledgeable and fun. Emiliano was so helpful with the ATV/UTVs and a great guide. Highly recommend for a fun, active adventure.

With the wind in your hair and the thrill of the ride, this adventure is sure to leave you with memories that will last a lifetime. Don’t forget to pack your sunscreen and sunglasses, as the UV index is high, ensuring a sun-soaked day of exploration.

Evening Serenity and Cultural Delights

As the day winds down and the evening cools to a pleasant 68°F, Puerto Vallarta transforms into a haven of relaxation and cultural exploration. Stroll through the charming streets of the city, where the vibrant colors and lively atmosphere invite you to immerse yourself in the local culture.

Indulge in a leisurely dinner at one of the many seaside restaurants, where the sound of the waves provides a soothing backdrop to your meal. Savor the flavors of fresh seafood and traditional Mexican dishes, paired with a refreshing margarita or a glass of locally brewed tequila.

As the stars begin to twinkle in the night sky, take a moment to reflect on the day’s adventures and the natural beauty that surrounds you. Whether you’re seeking thrills or tranquility, Puerto Vallarta offers a perfect blend of both, making it an ideal destination for a weekend getaway.
