Tropical Forest Ride

Our Tropical Forest Horseback Ride offers a unique and exciting way to experience the lush jungle landscape of Puerto Vallarta. Riders embark on a journey through along the river before entering into the jungle, following well-trodden trails that wind through towering trees, past sparkling streams, and beneath rolling hills. A waterfall awaits you at the end!

We had the best time with Tomas. He was great all around, very knowledgeable, outstanding horses, and very willing to accommodate inexperience riders. El Charro was the best part of our trip.
