Two hours of mountain trail riding on one double ATV, no pavement in between.

Ride a tandem ATV through the La Tigra jungle trails in the Sierra de Vallejo near Bucerias, with one passenger and one driver sharing a double machine.

A guide leads the group, adapts the pace to the riders, and stops at a scenic viewpoint near the end of the route. Minimum age to drive is 16. Passengers can be as young as 6. A mandatory ATV Damage Protection Fee of MXN 200 per booking is paid directly to the operator and is not included in the ticket price.

The experience

The La Tigra route takes you straight onto mountain trails with no time spent on paved roads or in traffic. After a safety briefing and helmet fitting, you and your companion climb into one double ATV and ride the Sierra de Vallejo system, where the terrain shifts between open stretches and dense jungle. The guide reads the group's pace and adjusts the route as needed. The actual riding time stretches to about two hours, longer than the shorter Mirador option. A scenic stop appears somewhere along the way (the exact spot depends on conditions and what the group can handle), and near the end you reach El Mirador, a high point with a view across the mountains.

The whole outing takes roughly three and a half hours from when you're picked up to when you're dropped off. You'll wear a helmet, face mask and goggles throughout. Bottled water comes with you on the ride. Both the route and the starting trailhead can shift depending on weather and trail safety on the day. The combined weight limit for both riders on one ATV is 350 pounds.

If you need the full day unscheduled, this ride takes up a solid block of it. If you're stacking multiple experiences, the time commitment is firm.
