Race from Puerto Vallarta to Boca de Tomatlan by speedboat, then head into the Sierra Madre by Unimog and mule. You’ll tackle several ziplines, a roller-coaster line, waterfall rappelling, bridges, rivers, and water slides. Guides including May, Loza, Cesar, and Fito have earned praise for clear safety instruction and lively support.

“Ok, alot to take in on your first zipline experience, but these people take safety and directions seriously. And, it is not just one zipline, but several as well as 2 waterfall repelling, backward down cliffs! And 2 waterslides. We were with people who had ziplined all over Europe and Canada. They said the other locations were wimpy, not this one. First after gathering at Vallarta Adventures, where you can peruse gifts, look over other adventures, you get on a speed boat. We started with 8 at Nuevo Vallarta and added 20 more at Puerta Vallarta 20 minutes away by a lovely boat ride where we stopped to admire whales…”

Oaxaca: Hierve el Agua Petrified Waterfalls and Pools Tour

7.Oaxaca: Hierve el Agua Petrified Waterfalls and Pools Tour

★★★★★★★★★★4.7 · 248 reviews · 8 hours · from $40

Travel from central Oaxaca to Hierve el Agua in a comfortable van, with about three hours to hike, photograph the petrified waterfalls, and swim in the natural pools. This is mainly a transportation service, not a fully guided tour. Spanish-speaking drivers lead the trip, though guides such as Jonathan may offer extra help and local information.

“We were looking for a ride to Hierve el Agua without all the stops and this was a fantastic choice, although we did make one very short stop on the way at a bakery to sample local traditional breads. Our guide was really informative and we learnt a few things about the city and the surroundings. It was a comfortable minibus and we drove though stunning landscapes. We had 3 hours to hike and swim which was plenty of time. Great value for money and a good option for those looking for a shorter trip (6 hours).”

Swimming in the cueva was wonderful, worth the stair climb.”

“We had a wonderful day with Carlos! He was very friendly and knowledgeable about the area and communicated very well about what we would do, where we would go, and everything in between. The drive was long, but it was so worth it when we arrived. The hike was short and he took time to make sure we were safe and had enough information to make it down the rocky steps successfully. We had three kids with us, ages 7, 10, and 12, in addition to my husband and I. We had no issues with the length or difficulty of the trek down. Carlos brought ice cold waters and umbrellas…”
