The engine coughs, gravel spatters and the Pacific keeps time to your right as the trail climbs from Mismaloya toward the mountain ridge. Salt air and jungle humidity press close; palms and vines reach like hands along the track. Los Arcos appears below as a group of stone arches daring you to look closer, and the road curves toward a shaded pool where the water drops clean and cold.
Verified experiences and guided adventures in the surrounding area.

The engine coughs, gravel spatters and the Pacific keeps time to your right as the trail climbs from Mismaloya toward the mountain ridge. Salt air and jungle humidity press close; palms and vines reach like hands along the track. Los Arcos appears below as a group of stone arches daring you to look closer, and the road curves toward a shaded pool where the water drops clean and cold.
This short loop mixes coastal geology and human stories: volcanic outcrops sculpted by tides created the arches that shelter Puerto Vallarta’s bay, while Mismaloya and Edenva carry film-set lore—Predator shot scenes here in the 1980s—alongside long-standing local ranching and tequila traditions. The ride threads rainforest, rocky coast, and a mountain valley where springs feed waterfalls that locals have used for generations.
Expect a hands-on afternoon: a safety briefing, a guided off-road run on UTVs or Viking vehicles, a swim beneath a seasonal cascade at Edenva, and an artisan tequila tasting on a small finca in El Nogalito that explains traditional distillation.
Practical side: bring closed-toe shoes, a swimsuit, and a physical driver’s license if you plan to drive; vehicles require a credit card hold. Plan this for cooler morning or late-afternoon departures to avoid peak sun. Hydrate before and during the tour, follow the guide’s lines on steep or loose sections, and leave no trace at the falls—reef-safe sunscreen and careful footing protect both coral below and the mountain springs above.
moderate.
4 hours.
Light to moderate fitness—ability to climb in/out of off-road vehicles and walk short uneven trails; basic swimming ability for the waterfall stop.
Yes—drivers 18+ with a current photo driver’s license may operate the vehicle; a credit card hold is required as warranty and staff provide a safety briefing.
There is free time to swim in a designated area; water can be cool and uneven underfoot, so basic swimming skill and caution entering the pool are recommended.
No—food and additional drinks at the Edenva restaurant are not included; the tour does include a tasting of artisan tequilas at the mountain finca.
Bring reef-safe sunscreen, a hat, and mosquito repellent; apply sunscreen before entering freshwater and avoid using soap in natural pools.
Los Arcos is a protected marine rock formation formed by ancient volcanic activity; Mismaloya and Edenva are also known for film history, including scenes from the 1987 movie Predator.
Tours run through sensitive coastal and freshwater habitats—stick to marked tracks, use reef-safe products, and avoid disturbing wildlife to reduce erosion and pollution.
Monkey Adventures operates guided outdoor trips and adventures with an emphasis on safety, stewardship, and memorable experiences.
