Combine an ATV loop through the Sierra Madre foothills with an 11-line zip canopy for a varied, six-hour day of dirt, height and ocean views. This excursion departs from Puerto Vallarta’s Zona Romantica and pairs hands-on off-roading with guided zip-line stations.
More ways to explore the area's outdoor wonders
Engine humming, dust lifting, the trail opens into a green wall — the Sierra Madre Occidental pushes up from the bay and dares you to follow. This full-day combo sends you out of Zona Romantica onto dirt tracks, over rocky switchbacks and into the canopy on an 11-line zip system that delivers clean, aerial views back toward Banderas Bay.

History
The Sierra Madre foothills around Puerto Vallarta are geologically folded and volcanic; Puerto Vallarta itself transitioned from a fishing village to an international destination after mid-20th-century film exposure.
Conservation
Stay on designated trails and avoid off-trail riding to reduce erosion; support local operators who follow strict trail and canopy maintenance to protect flora and animal corridors.
