The best nature walk, hot spring, and un-touristy adventure with a guide who loves his "job." - Peaceful nature walk that follows a beautiful river to the hot spring pools. A absolute wonderful way to begin your morning. Eduardo was friendly and generous with local information and a history of his culture. Hot pools had a lovely view of the river and canyon. I experienced the clay amazing massage, too! I can't wait to do this again!

The other side of Puerto Vallarta - Wonderful tour away from the city and to relax in nature. Eduardo is a thoughtful guide and very knowledgeable! The walk is quite easy but be prepared to walk in water (water shoes are best because the river bottom is rocky). So much fun and so beautiful to bathe in the hot water and cool off in the creek. Definitely recommend!

Hot Springs next to the RIVER was an awesome experience - Our guide was kind and he's the best! Had more fun than we anticipated. The clay massage was a plus! We will definitely do this again and recommend to our family and friends!

Great guide, great hike and awesome hot pools! - Great day with guide Edgar Eduardo, hiking to hot springs in the mountains. The hike is easy, crossing lovely streams as you go. The hot pools are very warm and relaxing and cooling off in the river feels great. Be sure to meet David who lives part time at the pools and experience his mud facial and amazing massage. A great day and highly recommended for an excursion that takes you out to enjoy nature. Edgar is very knowledgeable and personable. He introduced us to birria tacos on the way home at a local roadside restaurant. Delicious!

A Fantastic Morning in the Hot Springs! - Edgar was so kind and knowledgeable! He was very willing to share local spots to eat and things to do. It was fun to go on a hike away from the normal touristy spots. On the way to the hike Edgar picked up Mexican hot chocolate and cookies for us which were both amazing! I’ve been craving those cookies ever since.
The hot springs were nice and warm and located right next to the river, so if you got too hot you could just cool down in the river.
A very enjoyable few hours.

Great trip - Our guide, Eduardo, was wonderful. He helped us through the river crossings. The hiking was great. Such a beautiful and peaceful area. Hot springs were a real treat. We are always looking for something different to do in the Puerto Vallarta area. If you want a “nature” day this is it.

Great trip - great guide - something different from the usual - We are always looking for something different to do in Puerto Vallarta - nature related. We went on a 40 minute hike today with Eduardo and really enjoyed it. The day was beautiful. We crossed the river 3 times. It was higher than usual due to last week's rain, but Eduardo helped everyone when needed. The hot springs are pretty remote and there were only a few other folks there. We totally enjoyed our soak in the hot water. We also saw a lot of birds.

An incredible adventure to a very relaxing place! - Highly recommended!
The place is wonderful to enjoy in company or alone. Eduardo is an excellent guide with a lot of information about the place and is very attentive and friendly.
The meeting place is easy to find and the route to reach the pools is a very pleasant environment. The pools we were in are very clean and very relaxing.
On your visit to Puerto Vallarta you have this great option if you like to enjoy beautiful things that are different from the usual. 100% recommended!!

The truth is that I really enjoyed it, it is a very quiet, natural path and with the right guide! - The landscape and the experience were unique and wonderful, it really is a super natural tour, something different and exploratory, you learn, see and hear animals of all kinds, taking a good guide makes it easier for you to learn, I would definitely choose to return to visit this beautiful place
