Beautiful nature in a fun and accessible hike! Curiel is the most amazing tour guide, stopping to show and inform about local flora and fauna. And then swimming in the waterfall was such a blast! Curiel thoughtfully took pictures and videos the whole time and then shared them with us so we have great moments and memories from the afternoon. He made sure everyone was comfortable the whole time, brought snacks, and was so funny and engaging. We will definitely be doing another hike with Curiel next time we are in PV!
Amazing hike

Amazing experience. Curiel is a great guide and provides explanations of the flora seen during the hike. He was very personable and let us know the difficult areas of the hike, where to step during tricky sections. He also has a great eye for photos and we didn’t really take many photos during the trip as he took so many good ones. He just airdropped them to my iPhone on the way back. His sweet dog Canela also joined us on the hike which was an added bonus. The hike itself was spectacular with many beautiful spots which were, of course, pointed out to us by Curiel. Very highly recommended!!!! Don’t miss this experience in PV.

This hike was very challenging but so worth the effort. WE walked through the water most of the hike. It wasn’t very long but the rocks made the trek slow. But that was more reason to slow down and enjoy the hike more. Our guide had lots of knowledge and plants and wildlife in the area. This was a terrific experience!!
Curiel is an amazing...

Curiel is an amazing guide. His knowledge of the area, flora, and fauna really enhanced the experience. He also took amazing pictures of us throughout the hike. We’ll definitely book some of his other tours when we’re back in Puerto Vallarta.
Wholesome, educational and exciting!

This is a beautiful way to spend a half day in Puerta Vallarta. The hikes are always fun (I’ve gone on 2) and end in a beautiful spot to relax and rest before heading back. Curiel is a talented and knowledgeable tour guide, and will make everyone feel comfortable on the trip. Don’t miss this experience!
Beautiful day hiking!

If you’re like me and need some non alcoholic stories to tell your family and coworkers about what you did while in PV; this would be a great one! With pictures even! Everything was top notch. The visit to the “fairy portal” was awesome! If I’m ever in PV again, I’ll definitely be booking another trip!
Hands down the best nature hike tour guide

Very small groups which really made the experience so amazing. The hike was beautiful and he is so full of knowledge. Probably the best tour guide I’ve ever had. Plus he took all these beautiful pictures of us the whole time so we didn’t have to worry about stopping and using our phones. The food at the end was also very delicious. Next time we are in PV we will be back for another tour. No question about that. One of the best parts of our trip.
Amazing hiking guide!

Curiel was so welcoming and fun during our hike. The trail was beautiful and I felt very confident following him to the falls. He was very knowledgeable and passionate about teaching during the hike. And his humor is great.
