The Experience

Before You Go

Secure loose gear

Use the operator-provided lockers or lanyards for cameras and phones — lines and bridges are exposed and losing gear is common.

Hydrate before you go

Bring a 1–1.5 L bottle and drink beforehand; the heat and activity on the lines and mule sections deplete fluids quickly.

Wear closed-toe shoes

Sturdy trainers or hiking shoes are required for safe landings, mule sections, and bridge walking.

Timing for cruise guests

Schedule the tour with at least a 2-hour buffer before your ship’s departure to account for traffic and check-in.

Local Knowledge

Hidden Gems

  • Small viewpoint platforms off the main bridge with unobstructed canyon photos
  • On-site infinity pool overlooking the ravine — quieter late afternoon for views and photos

Wildlife

  • Yellow-headed parrot species and other tropical birds
  • Common basilisk lizards along sunlit trail edges

Conservation Note

Operators generally emphasize stay-on-trail policies and limited group sizes to reduce erosion and disturbance; bring out all trash and avoid feeding wildlife.

The area around Puerto Vallarta grew from coastal fishing settlements; mountain routes historically linked ranching communities and agave producers to the bay.
