Operated by Xiutla Riders Ecoadventure · Puerto Vallarta, Jalisco
The engine hums, dust rises, and the Sierra Madre slopes close in — a mix of scrub oak, volcanic outcrops and narrow dirt tracks that push riders up ridgelines and down into riverbeds. On this private ATV circuit from Puerto Vallarta, the ride alternates between tight, rocky climbs and open descents where the air smells of riverstone and agave. You’ll splash shallow crossings, feel the current dare the tires, and can choose to pause at a small waterfall for a swim before finishing with a guided tequila tasting.
