The ATV Punta de Mita tour carves a short, high-energy loop through the varied coastal landscapes around San Vicente: country roads and high tracks cut across mild streams and more challenging river crossings before opening onto the wide sand of Higuera Blanca, with a tequila tasting to close the outing.

THE ROUTE

From country roads to the beach at Higuera Blanca

The route moves across country and high roads, threads mild streams and tougher river crossings, and ends on the scenic beach of Higuera Blanca — a condensed cross‑section of Punta de Mita terrain.

THE RIDE

Single or double ATVs for a personal challenge

Riders can tackle the trail solo in single ATVs or share a double ATV with a partner, choosing the seating arrangement that fits their comfort and skill level.

THE FINALE

A tequila tasting to cap the trip

After the ride, the operator includes a tequila tasting — a brief, local flourish that marks the end of the two‑hour experience.

What the day feels like

What the two hours feel like

Expect an energetic, two‑hour circuit that alternates open high roads and tighter country tracks, negotiates mild streams and more demanding river crossings, and delivers a surf‑bordering payoff on Higuera Blanca before a short tasting session to decompress.
