Nogalito Ecopark Hiking Adventure with Breakfast, Puerto Vallarta

Three kilometers through the jungle to a waterfall portal, then breakfast in the sierra.

A private 4-hour hiking activity in Nogalito Ecopark, 20 minutes south of Puerto Vallarta, where you walk 3km through tropical jungle to reach waterfalls and river views. The hike includes a welcome drink and breakfast, with a live guide in English or Spanish, air-conditioned vehicle transport, and individual lockers. Children are welcome from age 6.

The experience

Four hours is enough to hike the 3km trail through Nogalito's jungle without rushing, then sit down to eat. You start with air-conditioned transport from Puerto Vallarta to the ecopark, a small community built around environmental preservation 20 minutes south of downtown. The hike itself winds through exuberant vegetation and the tropical jungle, following the sound of water until you reach the waterfalls. The trail passes through what the park calls the magical portal of the fairies, a named passage in the landscape, and opens onto views over the river.

Breakfast and a welcome drink wait after the hike, so you're not eating on an empty stomach or rushing back hungry. Your guide speaks English or Spanish and leads the group at a pace that works for moderate hikers. Nogalito is 100% pet-friendly if you want to bring one along. Individual lockers keep your belongings secure while you're on the trail, and the ecopark's focus on preservation means the jungle itself is the main attraction: no manufactured stops or staged moments.
