Banderas' Bay Jungle: Outdoor Adventure with Truck

Leave the suburbs of Vallarta far behind as you venture into the lush paradise that is the Sierra Madre Mountains. You will explore the tropical surroundings not only on signature yellow Mercedes trucks but on foot as well. Although the ATV experience is one full of tight turns, climbs, and splashdowns that will leave you breathless, the highlight is certainly the nature hike which is a perfect way to come across a wide variety of wildlife and native plants. The guides are trained to spot green iguanas, snakes of all kinds, beautiful tropical birds, and interesting insects. Keep your eyes wide open because spotting orchids, bromeliads, and strangler fig trees in the wild is another experience altogether.

You will also be taken on a walking tour through a classic Mexican pueblo, where you’ll see and feel the culture of Old Mexico intertwined with beautiful traditional architecture. This adventure also introduces you to Mexican cuisine in the most intimate of surroundings. Meet a traditional Mexican family who practices a sustainable way of life and learn how authentic corn tortillas are made by hand. Try samples of guacamole, beans, cactus salsa, and the fresh corn tortillas. Once you've explored the ins and outs of the backcountry, savor a traditional lunch. Unwind with your favorite cocktail from the open bar and sit back to enjoy your meal with gorgeous views on the side!
