The plethora of imaginative and exciting outdoor adventure tours in Puerto Vallarta keeps on growing almost daily, and the Cuale Mountain Expedition is no exception! This excursion into the jungles of the Sierra Madre combines six unique adventures into one thrilling day in Puerto Vallarta.
After a scenic and enjoyable ride into the rural Sierra Madre, follow the Cuale river all the way to the top to find the site of the famous Canopy River adventure. After a short hike through the jungle, you'll get your blood pumping with a thrilling zip line ride over a massive gorge.

Then free fall 80 feet to a path before riding a zip line over and into the cool waters of the river far below.
Innertube down the river until you meet your mule, who will carry you back to the tour starting location, where you can relax in hammocks, sunbathe, or enjoy lunch or drinks (optional) at the Los Cuapinoles restaurant.
