Puerto Vallarta, situated along the rugged Pacific coast of Mexico’s Jalisco state, draws travelers with its coastal charm and lush jungle backdrop. Estigo Tours offers an invigorating Jungle and Beach Hike that showcases the region’s vibrant biodiversity and stunning landscapes. Starting from Boca de Tomatlán, a lively fishing village, this moderate route takes you through the dense Sierra Madre jungle, where towering trees and colorful toucans frame your path. As you ascend, the greenery gradually opens to reveal sweeping ocean vistas, with glimpses of isolated beaches tucked between rocky promontories.

The standout features along this trail include the changing terrain—from shaded forest floors teeming with tropical flora to open rocky cliffs overlooking the sea.

The hike’s midpoint provides a peaceful spot for photos, with panoramic views capturing the essence of Puerto Vallarta’s wild beauty.
