My name is Omar. I’m a certified General Tourist Guide in Mexico with a Bachelor's degree in Business Administration. My national license allows me to lead tours throughout the country. I’ve lived and traveled across many regions of our beautiful, mega-diverse, and multicultural nation in search of unique and meaningful experiences. Most of my expertise lies in cultural and nature-based tours, particularly in southeastern Mexico (Yucatán and Quintana Roo), and more recently in Puerto Vallarta and its surrounding areas. I’m truly passionate about Mexican folklore and take great pride in sharing it with the world!

Tour description

After a quick 15-minute bus ride, we’ll set off on a scenic 45-minute walk through a charming small town surrounded by lush tropical vegetation. Along the way, you’ll pass a peaceful stream, spot local wildlife, and see fruit trees such as avocado, guava, agave, oil palm, and jackfruit—an authentic taste of the jungle just outside Puerto Vallarta.

For an extra dose of adrenaline, you can add the optional zip-line adventure, featuring nine thrilling lines soaring through the jungle, ranging from 20 to an impressive 480 meters.

Next, we’ll visit a local distillery to learn the basics of tequila production, followed by an artisanal tequila tasting. We’ll then continue our hike toward the coast, stopping at several small, secluded beaches before reaching a beachfront hillside palapa restaurant with stunning ocean views—perfect for lunch or a restroom break.

Afterward, we’ll make our way to one of Puerto Vallarta’s most beautiful southern beaches, famous for its calm, crystal-clear waters that feel like a natural pool—ideal for swimming and snorkeling. Optional activities include massages, paddleboarding, and jet ski rentals.

Good to know: This adventure includes about 4 km of moderate walking over rocky terrain, so come ready to explore. Comfortable walking shoes or water shoes are highly recommended. Part of the route follows a stream—so getting a little wet is part of the fun! Small local shops along the way offer drinks and snacks before we reach the beach. This is a gay-friendly, adult-oriented experience.

Feel free to stay longer and enjoy the beach at your own pace. Phone service is reliable, and returning on your own is easy by taxi, Uber, or public bus. The public bus costs just $10 pesos per person, paid individually.

Hiking Adventure

After a 15-minute bus ride, we’ll begin a scenic walk to meet the group that did the zipline. Our path takes us through a small village and lush greenery alongside a gentle stream. Along the way — and as we continue toward the tequila tasting — I’ll point out local flora and fauna, sharing a bit about the natural beauty that surrounds us.

Free entry

Regular and Flavored Tequila Tasting

Before we get to the beach, we are stopping for an artisanal tequila and liqueur tasting while learning about their basic production, as well as gaining a deeper appreciation for the agave that is used to make it.

Free entry

Stopping at a Small Beach Front Palapa Restaurant

After exploring four unique beaches, we’ll pause at a charming little seaside restaurant with breathtaking ocean views. Take a moment to refresh, relax, and savor delicious seafood — from fresh ceviche and tostadas to shrimp or fish prepared in a variety of mouthwatering styles. And with a little luck, from December to March, we may even spot whales or dolphins right from our table!
