A full-day adrenaline loop from Puerto Vallarta into the Sierra Madre: ride horseback into mountain village trails, rip jungle rivers on ATVs, then soar across canopy on a seven-line zipline before finishing with a hands-on Mexican lunch.
More ways to explore the area's outdoor wonders
You step off the air-conditioned van and the air changes: humid, green, and alive. The Sierra Madre doesn’t whisper — it pushes. Horses clip-clop toward a narrow river crossing, ATVs hum on a distant trail, and the zipline platforms perch like watchful hands above the canopy. This is Rancho Capomo’s one-day assault on the senses: a three-way loop of horseback, motorbikes, and flight that moves from soil to river to sky.
