THINGS TO DO :- Canopy Zip Line Adventures

Adventurer seekers and nature lovers will enjoy the thrill of hanging mid-air while gliding from one suspended platform to another via a series of zip lines high over the jungle canopy at speeds of up to 30 miles per hour. The assistance of experienced guides allows you to immerse yourself in the thick jungles surrounding Puerto Vallarta. You get to enjoy panoramic treetop views of the thick tropical canopy of the Sierra Madre Mountains that is home to an abundance of beautiful birds, plants and animals. Although the prices do vary by company they are generally within the same range. Some tour operators have a minimum age for children so do check if you are taking yours along.
