Puerto Vallarta’s natural beauty extends well beyond its beaches, inviting visitors into vibrant outdoor escapes like the El Eden Horseback Riding & Zipline Adventure, offered by Puerto Vallarta Net. This unique outing marries the serene with the exhilarating, threading a trail between the lush Mismaloya River and the dramatic canopies of Jardín El Edén.
Located just a short drive from Puerto Vallarta’s bustling downtown, the Mismaloya River winds through the Sierra Madre Occidental, framed by verdant foliage and the soundtrack of native birds and wildlife. Guests mount gentle horses for an hour-long ride along this tranquil river corridor, passing the quaint village of Mismaloya where local life unfolds at a relaxing pace. This segment offers a rare perspective on rural Mexican landscapes, combining natural beauty with cultural insight.
The adventure escalates upon arrival at Jardín El Edén, an ecological park famous for its rugged cliffs and dense jungle—also the legendary filming location for the 1987 movie Predator. Amid the towering trees and rock formations, participants navigate an 11-line zipline course that threads through the canopy, providing bursts of adrenaline and panoramic views that reveal the jungle’s depth and vitality.
After zipping through the treetops, the cool embrace of a natural pool invites a refreshing swim, offering time to soak in the environment before the last leg of the tour. Guests then head to a local tequila distillery, where tradition meets taste in an intimate setting. Here, expert guides detail the artisanal tequila-making process, concluding with a tasting session that celebrates Jalisco’s iconic spirit.
