The Experience

Before You Go

Choose the boat on weekdays

Boat transfers give sweeping bay views and a water arrival; note boats aren’t offered on weekends so plan accordingly.

Wear closed-toe shoes

Sturdy, breathable sneakers with good grip handle platforms and short jungle hikes—no sandals allowed on zips.

Bring ID for tequila tasting

Tastings are available for guests 21+; carry a government ID if you plan to sample.

Hydrate and protect from sun

Bring a refillable water bottle and reef-safe sunscreen; heat builds quickly in exposed platforms.

Local Knowledge

Hidden Gems

  • Request the midweek boat transfer for panoramic bay-to-jungle photos
  • Stop at Los Veranos Café for a riverside meal—local ingredients and grilled fish are popular

Wildlife

  • Green parrot (rescued sanctuary birds)
  • Iguanas and coatis along shaded trails

Conservation Note

The operator runs an on-site sanctuary and emphasizes waste-management; visitors are asked to stick to trails and avoid feeding wildlife to limit human impact.

Los Veranos developed as an adventure park in the foothills of the Sierra Madre, converting old rural land into a canopy course that connects local guides with tourism opportunities.
