What to expect

We’ll meet up at the Romantic zone. There we´ll take a sweet ride on public transportation just like the locals do. It’s a 25 min ride along the coast, where you’ll get to see most of the southern beaches of PV. After the ride, we’ll get to a small fishing town call Boca de Tomatlán (first beach) where we’ll start our adventure. Then we’ll be hiking approx. 30 min to the smallest beach known in Mexico (A hot spot for people visiting PV). After a refreshing bath, we’ll make our way to the next 4 beaches including my favorite (you will love it). Finally hiking through the jungle and beaches we’ll make our way to our final destination Las Animas beach. Where you’ll get to try great seafood like you haven’t tried in PV yet. (the food in the restaurant is not included). To put the cherry on the cake WE´LL MAKE OUR WAY BACK BY BOAT TO WHERE WE STARTED HIKING and then take the city bus to Puerto Vallarta. Total hiking distance: 3.6km (2.3 miles) From 9:30am - 4pm *PLEASE READ* This hike is 2.6 miles although it is labeled as Moderately Strenuous hike. NOT FOR PHYSICAL UNCONDITIONED PEOPLE (injured, with surgeries, not in good shape/health, etc).
