Sierra Madre Horseback Riding and ATV Tour from Puerto VallartaA 5-hour tour from Puerto Vallarta combines horseback riding through the tropical jungle of the Sierra Madre Mountains with ATV riding across rivers in the village of Las Palmas, ending at a ranch where lunch and unlimited drinks are served. The guide speaks English or Spanish, and pickup from designated meeting points is included. Children from age 1 are welcome, though the tour is not recommended for pregnant travelers or those with spinal or cardiovascular concerns.Is it for me?Book this tour if you want to ride two different vehicles and cover more ground than a single-activity tour allows. The combination of horseback and ATV means you experience both the quiet of the forest and the rush of river crossings in one afternoon, and the ranch lunch breaks up the physical activity so the day doesn't feel like a single long ride.
Horseback Riding Sierra Madre Mountains Suspension BridgeA 4-hour horseback riding activity in Puerto Vallarta's Sierra Madre Mountains where you ride along the Cuale River through jungle paths and open countryside, then dismount to cross one of the world's longest vehicular suspension bridges on foot at 150 meters high. The guide speaks English or Spanish, water and tequila tasting are included, and children from age 8 are welcome.Is it for me?The ride itself is leisurely and suits all fitness levels, but the day includes a 150-meter suspension bridge crossing on foot—if heights make you uneasy or you have back, heart, or pregnancy concerns, this activity isn't the right fit. The 4 hours of saddle time and bridge crossing is what makes the Sierra Madre and the river views possible in a single morning without a full-day commitment.
