Getting There

• Car

  From the center of Huichol Sierra, head towards Puerto Vallarta via the main highway. Follow the signs for Puerto Vallarta, and after approximately 1.5 hours of driving, you will reach the outskirts of Puerto Vallarta. Take the exit towards 'Cerro' and follow the road up into the hills. Keep an eye out for signs for Cascadas de Mismaloya. Once you reach the area, park your vehicle at the designated parking area. Note: Be prepared for a winding road and ensure your vehicle is in good condition.

• Public Transportation

  From Huichol Sierra, take a local bus heading towards Puerto Vallarta. Once you arrive at the Puerto Vallarta bus terminal, transfer to a local taxi or a smaller shuttle service that goes to the Mismaloya area. Make sure to inform the driver that you want to go to Cascadas de Mismaloya. The taxi ride from the bus terminal to the waterfalls should take about 20-30 minutes. Expect to pay around 150-200 MXN for the taxi.

• Hiking

  After arriving at the parking area, prepare for a hike to reach the Cascadas de Mismaloya. The trail can be steep and rugged, so ensure you have proper hiking shoes. Follow the marked path leading towards the waterfalls. The hike may take anywhere from 30 minutes to an hour depending on your pace. Bring water and snacks, as amenities are limited. The effort is worth it, with beautiful views and a refreshing waterfall at the end.
