The Experience

Before You Go

Wear sturdy, closed-toe shoes

Platforms and trails have uneven steps and dirt; closed-toe shoes prevent slipping and protect toes during transfers.

Bring a change of clothes

You may take a river dip after the final line and mule saddle can kick up dust; pack a towel and dry clothes.

Respect weight and age limits

The operator enforces a 110 kg (242 lb) max and minimum age rules for safety; verify before booking to avoid denied participation.

Hydrate and use insect repellent

The hike sections are exposed and can be warm; carry water and apply repellent for comfort during station walks.

Local Knowledge

Hidden Gems

  • Jorullo Point glass platform for unobstructed valley views
  • Short riverside spots near the final landing ideal for a cooling dip

Wildlife

  • White-tailed deer
  • Tropical birds such as motmots or kingfishers

Conservation Note

The park manages visitor flow to protect fragile dry-forest slopes; follow guide instructions, avoid off-trail travel, and minimize single-use plastics.

The area sits on Sierra Madre slopes where small ranching and agave cultivation shaped access routes; mule trails remain part of the local transport heritage.
