JORULLO WATER ACTIVITIES FIELD GUIDE
Across the Sky: ATV the Jorullo Extension Bridge, Swim El Salto, Then Zipline the Sierra Madre
A 4.5-hour combo that pairs an ATV crossing of the world's longest extension (suspension) bridge with a swim at El Salto waterfall, an 11-line zipline circuit and a mule ride—this guide distills what to expect and how to prepare.
Across the Sky: ATV the Jorullo Extension Bridge, Swim El Salto, Then Zipline the Sierra Madre.
The ATV Jorullo Extension Bridge and Zipline Combo threads high Alpine ridge and jungle wash with mechanical grit and adrenaline. Riders cross what is billed as the longest suspension/extension bridge by ATV, drink in sweeping views of the Sierra Madre Mountains, cool off in the crystal-clear pool beneath El Salto waterfall, then climb to mountain peaks to fly a full 11-zipline course before returning by mule and relaxing at an infinity pool and tequila tasting.
Highlights
Outing Highlights
Ride the world's longest extension bridge
The trip's central thrust is an off-road ATV crossing of the longest suspension/extension bridge—an exposed ridge run with panoramic views over the Sierra Madre.
Swim under El Salto waterfall
After the ATV section the route descends to the crystal-clear pool at 'El Salto' waterfall, where participants can take a refreshing swim before the mountain ascent for the ziplines.
Eleven ziplines and a mule return
The top portion of the tour features an 11-line zipline course that runs peak to peak across the mountain tops, with the descent finished by a mule ride and amenities including an infinity pool and tequila tasting.
What the day feels like
What the day feels like
Expect a compact, kinetic half-day: a mud-and-rock ATV approach and a tense, wide-open crossing of the extension bridge; a cool interlude at the El Salto waterfall; a climb to ridgeline platforms to launch across 11 ziplines; and a slower, old-world descent by mule before ending with an infinity pool and a tequila tasting.
