Look no further, the best guide in Puerto Vallarta! - What a great experience we had with Curiel, I sincerely exceeded my expectations, from start to finish we felt safe, we started with an exquisite breakfast, and then we went into 8 hours of hiking guided by a great professional passionate about what he does, it was not only a hiking guide, but also an experience of knowledge and explanations that ranged from biology, herbalism, flora, fauna and survival knowledge, the hiking lasted 8 hours that were completely worthwhile, do not doubt that you will have the most professional guide and prepared for adventures of this type, I recommend it 100%, within the hiking we ate termites, lemongrass, plants, flowers and many surprising experiences, we thank for such an incredible and complete experience in charge of Curiel Xperience.

Great full-day hike with a great guide! - We had a great time! It was pretty warm during the hike but Curiel watched our pace and took plenty of water/snack breaks and short breaks to teach us about various plants and animals. We got to try several edible flowers, fruits, and berries. The waterfalls were beautiful and Curiel took lots of pictures and videos of us that he shared with us at the end for no additional cost. Curiel was very upbeat, energetic, and pleasant throughout the tour and was mindful/helpful with those who needed a little extra assistance through the river crossings/steeper sections. We would definitely recommend this tour for those who want to get off the beaten path and enjoy some spectacular waterfalls!

Amazing, once in a life time experience - Had a fun and memorable experience. Started off the tour with a delicious home cooked breakfast. Then spent the day hiking and swimming in the water falls with friends. Curiel was patient, knowledgeable and fun! The hike is about 6.5 miles round trip and you do need to climb up rocks using ropes to get to the top waterfall. It can be challenging at times and requires some endurance but totally do-able and so worth it. It Bring lots of water and a few snacks. Would highly recommend.

A highlight of my Puerto Vallarta trip — safe, personal, unforgettable - ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️
An unforgettable highlight of my trip — highly recommend Curiel
I did a full-day hike with Curiel as a solo female traveler, and I honestly couldn’t have asked for a better experience. From the start, he made me feel completely safe, supported, and comfortable, which mattered so much to me traveling alone.
Curiel is incredibly knowledgeable — throughout the hike he taught me about Puerto Vallarta, local plants, birds, flowers, and the surrounding environment, which made the experience feel rich and meaningful, not just physical. He was also very flexible with scheduling and went fully at my pace, never rushing or pushing.
The hike ended up being just me, Curiel, and his super kind and helpful friend, and both of them were amazing during the more strenuous parts of the hike — always checking in, offering help, and making sure I was comfortable and safe.
This hike was truly one of the highlights of my entire trip. On top of everything else, Curiel also took beautiful photos of me along the way, which I’ll treasure.
I would 100% book with Curiel again and plan to do another hike with him the next time I’m back in Puerto Vallarta. If you’re considering one of his hikes — especially if you’re traveling solo — don’t hesitate. It was an exceptional experience.

Brilliant way to spend a day - This was a brilliant way to spend a day in Puerto Vallarta. Curiel is an excellent guide and very knowledgeable. We learnt about the plant life, bugs and birds that live in the jungle.
The hike itself is intermediate with areas that are a little more advanced. We crossed rivers, climbed rocks, and used ropes to get to the 3 waterfalls.
Scenery was beautiful and Curiels car has air conditioning! All in all a great day out

Best hike EVER!!!! - Best tour we have ever taken. Curiel is such an amazing soul and very knowledgeable about the jungle. He taught us a lot about the plants, wildlife, the trail and much more! There was an abundance of amazing stuff to see. The waterfalls were soooooo beautiful. We can not wait to come back and do longer hikes with Curiel. Hes got the best energy! My husband and I have hiked all around the world, even the Amazon jungle and this mike with Curiel was a million times better than anything we have ever seen. 💓 thank you so so so much!
