Outing Highlights
Conchas Chinas & Mismaloya — city lookouts with cinematic ties
The tour pauses at the two most iconic viewpoints — Conchas Chinas and Mismaloya — the latter famous as the filming location of The Night of the Iguana, offering context on the city’s history and shoreline panoramas.
Twelve zip lines through jungle canopy
After climbing into the Western Sierra Madre you’ll experience a sequence of 12 zip lines that traverse the property’s forested slopes and ravines — the tour’s high-adrenaline centerpiece.
El Edén and a Tequila Factory stop
The route includes a Tequila Factory visit and a long stop at El Edén — a hidden paradise of rock formations, natural pools and waterfalls with movie-history ties (notably Predator) — where you’ll have roughly two and a half hours to explore.
