PUERTO VALLARTA ZIPLINE FIELD GUIDE
Six Adventures, One Wild Day: Zipline, Rappel and River Run in the Sierra Madre
A 5-hour, multi-activity expedition from Puerto Vallarta that strings ziplines, a 90‑ft rappel, an 80‑ft free fall, a river float, a mule ride and a tequila tasting into a single adrenaline‑packed outing.
Six Adventures, One Wild Day: Zipline, Rappel and River Run in the Sierra Madre.
Rappel, Zipline & River Expedition pushes you from jungle canopy to river current in a single surge of activity—six distinct adventures threaded together across the Sierra Madre near Puerto Vallarta. Over roughly five hours you ride into the Canopy River area, hike a short jungle trail, fly across canyons on multiple ziplines, descend a 90‑ft cliff by rope, experience an 80‑ft free fall, splash into the river to tube downstream, return by mule and finish with a tequila tasting at the base camp restaurant.
Highlights
Outing Highlights
Six high‑octane elements in one loop
This expedition combines six activities: multiple ziplines over a deep gorge, two hanging bridges, rappelling (including a 90‑ft descent), and an 80‑ft free fall—sequenced to sustain momentum and maximize thrills.
Zip into water and drift downstream
After a final zipline that deposits you into the river, guests hop into inner tubes and float downstream through tropical jungle before meeting the mule that returns them to base camp.
Mule ride, hammocks and a tequila finish
The final act includes a 15‑minute mule ride back to camp, time to relax in hammocks or grab a meal at Los Cuapinoles, and a concluding mini tequila tasting that showcases local Jalisco flavors.

The itinerary is a continual climb and release: an early scenic shuttle into the Sierra Madre, a short jungle hike, then a sequence of ziplines that sends you over canyons and into the river, interspersed with fixed‑line challenges and a long rappel before the calm of the float and the slow, mule‑paced return to camp.
