The Experience

You've just landed in Puerto Vallarta and your hotel is still checking you in. But the mountains are an hour away, and the guides are waiting. The canopy tour in the Sierra starts with a safety briefing — harness, helmet, pulleys, the whole setup — and then you're walking natural paths toward the first line. Eleven of them total, strung between the trees, and the ocean sits below the whole time you're flying.

The mule ride comes first, about fifteen minutes through the foothills, and then the zip-lining starts. You move from one platform to the next, walking the forest floor between lines, and the guides stay with you the whole way — they're trained, they're funny, they explain what you're seeing in the wildlife around you. The fastest line is called Tom and Jerry, and it's the one where you hit 80 to 90 kilometers per hour. You can race a friend if someone else is on the tour. Most people don't expect how quiet it is up there, just the sound of the pulley and the trees.

At the last line you dive into the river. It's cold and fast and real. After that you walk back to the park, where there's a restaurant, an infinity pool if you brought a bathing suit, and a free tequila tasting before you head down the mountain. The whole thing takes a few hours, and you're back in town before dinner, still buzzing from the speed and the height and the fact that you just did that.
