"Our family LOVED the canopy tour, and if we ever come back to Puerto Vallarta, we will visit again! The staff was very friendly and took great care of us.... Again, we loved the tour, and are so happy we did it. It was the highlight of our vacation."
- Susan Huckvale

A family friendly tour!

Your adventure begins as our friendly, bilingual driver takes you on a complimentary scenic drive along the southern coast of Banderas Bay. From our air-conditioned van or covered open-air Mercedes jungle cruiser, you'll enjoy fantastic views of lovely beaches, palatial oceanside mansions, and Los Arcos, one of the most recognized landmarks in Puerto Vallarta.

Upon arriving at the Los Veranos ecological preserve, our friendly and experienced staff will give you a detailed safety briefing, taking you step-by-step through your upcoming canopy tour before securing you in a professional climbing harness.

Then we'll take a walk through the tropical jungle, where our expert guides will share their knowledge and individual brand of humor with you as they point out coffee trees, vanilla vines, exotic orchids and cactus used to make tequila.

The forest is alive with bromeliads, philodendron, strangler figs and tree-bound termite nests used by migrating parakeets to house and feed their offspring. You'll be amazed by the profuseness of flora and fauna that coexists here in this ecological preserve.

A short 3-5 minute walk through the jungle foliage brings us to a spiral staircase that take you safely to the first platform, where you are tethered while awaiting your turn. This first three cables are "practice runs," designed to slowly introduce you to the canopy tour - and inspire confidence.

Using the highest quality equipment you will gently glide on a steel cable to the first tree platform, while enjoying breathtaking views of the jungle canopy and forest floor. Expert guides on each end of the cable put you at ease, and soon any fear of heights you may have melts into the beauty of your surroundings.

Very few people get a chance to experience this kind of encounter with nature. As you zip from tree to tree on a total of 14 cables, [the longest cable is 400 meters long!] all of the magical wonders that are hidden from the ground are uncovered.

Our zip lines, affectionately called "Banana Split," "Speedy Gonzalez" and "The Big Enchilada," are designed to gradually take you higher and faster. As you travel at speeds of up to 30 MPH, you'll find yourself gliding over a dramatic river gorge until the final cable shoots you right over the rapids to Pancho's Last Resort, our traditional Mexican Palapa bar!

At the end of the canopy tour, our friendly bilingual staff will greet you with a complimentary ice-cold soft drink. Alcoholic beverages are available for purchase at the Palapa Bar, or you can enjoy scrumptious Mexican food and specialty drinks at our restaurant. Photography and video staff are on site to document your visit, and are available for purchase along with souvenirs and Mexican handicrafts at our gift shop.
