This guided combo pairs an off‑road drive in a fully automatic Polaris RZR 4x4 with rainforest viewpoints, a stop at Rancho Las Pilas and an included tequila tasting — a compact, four‑hour loop that launches from Puerto Vallarta and threads the narrow streets of Old Town before climbing into the mountains above the Rio Cuale.
