Hiking Jorullo Point: Sierra Madre Trails & Tequila Tasting

Walk into the Sierra Madre, stand on glass suspended over the landscape, and taste tequila at the end of the day

This hiking tour from Puerto Vallarta takes you into the Sierra Madre Occidental to trail through subtropical forest, then onto the Jorullo Point glass platform for a panoramic view from above. A professional guide leads the five-hour outing, which includes transport from central Puerto Vallarta, bottled water, and a tequila tasting to close the day. The photographer guide documents the hike, and you can purchase prints afterward.

The experience

The trails run straight into the heart of the Sierra Madre, and the guide points out the flora and fauna of the subtropical forest as you walk. The route is built to move through the landscape step by step, not to rush past it. You're moving at a pace that lets you notice the connection between the forest and what's growing in it. After the hiking portion, you reach Jorullo Point, a glass platform structure that sits you above the surrounding terrain with nothing between you and the view.

The glass platform is the moment the tour shifts. Standing on it changes how you see the landscape you've just walked through: the panoramic perspective from above shows you the scale of the Sierra Madre in a way the trail alone doesn't. The adrenaline of standing on glass over open space is part of the design. After you come back down, the tequila tasting rounds out the five hours. Transport picks you up from a central location in Puerto Vallarta and brings you back the same way, and a professional photographer travels with the group to capture the day.

Bring socks to wear on the glass platform. It's mandatory. Insect repellent and sunscreen are essentials for the forest section. The minimum age is 12, and you'll need at least a moderate level of fitness for the hiking. The operator notes this tour is not recommended for travelers with spinal injuries, poor cardiovascular health, or pregnancy. Water is provided throughout the day.
