Embrace the Jungle: A Day of Adventure and Discovery

As the sun rises over Puerto Vallarta on June 14th, the promise of adventure beckons. The day begins with a journey into the heart of the Sierra Madre mountains, where the Mismaloya Waterfalls Hike offers an escape from the ordinary. This full-day tour with CurielXperience is a must for nature enthusiasts and those seeking a deeper connection with the land.

Starting at 8:00 AM, the tour takes you through lush trails, past cascading waterfalls, and into the vibrant heart of the jungle. The air is thick with humidity, but the promise of a refreshing swim in natural pools keeps spirits high. As you trek, the guide’s passion for the environment is infectious, turning every step into a lesson in ecology and conservation.

“Re Charging the Soul - A week ago my wife and I experienced a life changing event. This is coining from someone who had had many adventures. But the last two years I have been struggling with a chronic health condition. 4 months ago, I was unsure if I would work again let alone go on a trip to Mexico. But we did go to PV, and while there my wife found this excursion on Trip Advisor. A 5 hr hike into the jungle to go see waterfalls and swim in the falls themselves. I was so moved by the third waterfall, I started to feel all of my doubts and concerns of the future wash away. I journeyed in to the final fall itself, even though the force of the water and wind was pushing me back. Once there everything washed away. It was a moment that turned itself into an unforgettable physical, mental and spiritual experience. It was as if my soul reawakened to the amazing planet around me that I have yet to experience. I could write pages of the various things that Curio showed and let us experience. A truly authentic experience in the real Mexico; such as food, people and the culture. We will never forget those 8 hrs.” - Reviewed on 2025-04-17
