Soar 19 high ziplines above Horcones River, glide by speedboat across Banderas Bay, then cool off with river swims and a traditional tequila tasting — a single trip that mixes adrenaline, waterplay, and local flavor.
You step off the speedboat with spray on your face and the bay’s horizon sliding away — the jungle swallows the sound of the engines and the Horcones River dares you downstream. From the landing, platforms rise through tree crowns where guides clip you in and the air narrows to a single wire that pulls you forward: 19 ziplines that rank among the longest and highest in the region.

You step off the speedboat with spray on your face and the bay’s horizon sliding away — the jungle swallows the sound of the engines and the Horcones River dares you downstream. From the landing, platforms rise through tree crowns where guides clip you in and the air narrows to a single wire that pulls you forward: 19 ziplines that rank among the longest and highest in the region.
The Sierra Madre foothills here are young volcanic rock carved by tropical rivers; the Horcones valley funnels cloudbursts during summer and feeds the mangroves below. The property began as a private ranch and now balances adventure tourism with a rescued-animal sanctuary and a riverside café that serves regional dishes and house tequilas — a short, cultural lesson in Jalisco flavors between runs.
After the canopy circuit, the tour unfurls into calmer water play: kayak laps in natural pools, jungle waterslides, and a tequila tasting that explains agave terroir and local distilling traditions. Guides emphasize safety and eco-practices; visitors move from adrenaline to slow river time.
Practicalities: the full experience is roughly five hours with land or sea pickup options; wear closed-toe shoes, bring a swimsuit and towel, sun protection, and insect repellent. Not recommended for pregnant travelers, those with serious heart or back issues, or guests over the stated weight limit. Arrive 15 minutes early, expect a small port fee if arriving by boat, and plan transportation back to Puerto Vallarta after a day of soaring and splashing.
moderate.
5 hours.
Moderate fitness — ability to climb stairs and handle short uphill walks; comfortable with heights.
Minimum age is 5 years and under 40" in height for some lines; the operator restricts participation for guests over approximately 285 lbs (129 kg). Specific checks are done on arrival.
Yes — bilingual guides use full-body harnesses, helmets, and belay systems and brief guests on procedures; however, participants should be comfortable with heights and able to follow instructions.
The 5-hour tour includes the zipline course, river activities (weather permitting), tequila tasting and land or sea round-trip transport; food and optional purchases at the café, plus a $2 port fee for boat departures, are extra.
Sea pickup puts you on a speedboat across Banderas Bay (quicker and scenic) while land pickup uses coastal roads; choose based on comfort with boat rides and the small port fee requirement.
The Horcones valley lies on the seaward edge of the Sierra Madre; ranchlands were converted into eco-adventures in recent decades as Puerto Vallarta’s tourism shifted toward experiential—and conservation-minded—operations.
The operator runs a rescued-animal sanctuary and emphasizes holding to trails, proper wildlife viewing distances, and limiting single-use plastics to reduce river and jungle impact.
Los Veranos Canopy Tour operates guided outdoor trips and adventures with an emphasis on safety, stewardship, and memorable experiences.
