A single-day combo that pairs a jungle horseback ride, a waterfall hike and an ATV run through the western Sierra Madre—expect river crossings, hanging bridges, and a homemade Mexican lunch at a local ranch.
More ways to explore the area's outdoor wonders
You start on a dirt ribbon pushed between tropical trees, the river on your right daring you to slow down. Horse hooves and ATV engines trade the lead as the Sierra Madre presses in—humid air, a chorus of birds, and the occasional flash of bright butterfly. By midmorning the trail opens to a hanging bridge; the jungle leans close and the waterfall ahead calls like a cool hand.
