Sierra Madre ATV and Zipline Adventure from Puerto Vallarta
Race ATVs through Sierra Madre foothills and fly 13 ziplines above tropical canopy at Rancho Capomo. This five-hour combo blends throttle by day and zipline flight over rivers, with local food and tequila tasting included.
The Experience
Before You Go
Wear closed-toe, grippy shoes
ATV sections and zipline platforms require secure footwear—no sandals; expect mud and slippery platforms.
Bring a reusable water bottle
Five hours in warm, humid conditions means hydrate early and often; refillable bottles reduce plastic waste.
Protect against sun and insects
Light long sleeves, sunscreen, and insect repellent keep you comfortable between shaded canopy runs and exposed ridgelines.
Disclose medical issues before booking
The operator restricts participation for pregnancy, spinal problems, and serious cardiac conditions—be upfront when booking.

Hidden Gems

Conservation Note
Operators often limit group sizes and maintain marked trails to reduce erosion; bring reusable containers and follow guide instructions to minimize impact.
The Sierra Madre foothills around Puerto Vallarta have long been home to small farming and ranching communities; many current eco-parks grew from private ranches opened for public recreation and conservation.
