The BEST day in Puerto Vallarta - It was so much fun! Diego was a great guide and took us down a natural rock water slide once we got to the waterfall. He also told us about the tree and plants we passed by. The seafood at the end of the hike was AMAZING. It was probably our favorite days in Puerto Vallarta

Highly recommended - Isaac was our tour guide. Very knowledgeable of the local area and friendly guy. We traveled from with a group of 7 from downtown Puerto vallarta to Quimixto and hiked approximately 40 minutes from there to the waterfall. Aftwards we had delicious seafood lunch by the beach in quimixto. Was in Mexico for 1 week and this was the highlight of my trip. Would definitely recommend to anyone.

Even with a changed itinerary, it was extraordinary - Diego was an extremely patient and thoughtful host, taking time to point out various plants and animals, and a very flexible time table. The original waterfall was dried up due to lack of rain, so they took us to another one further out, and it was better than expected. This was a highlight of the trip and I would do it again in a heartbeat.

Amazing experience! - The hike was easy. Making it perfect for families, experienced hikers, etc. I especially appreciated the shaded areas of the hike. The water was clear, perfect to swim in. Don’t forget to bring good hiking shoes, plenty of water, a camera! This is a must-visit for anyone who loves nature and wants to experience the beauty of Palo Maria. I can’t wait to come back!
