If this is your first visit to the area, you have a time constraint, or are simply afraid of getting lost, we strongly advise going with a local guide. Below are some of the Puerto Vallarta hiking tours and guides that we highly recommend:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<div data-vi-partner-id=\"P00065730\" data-vi-language=\"en\" data-vi-currency=\"USD\" data-vi-partner-type=\"AFFILIATE\" data-vi-url=\"348003P1,200064P1,218153P1,59695P10,297021P2,22116P14\" data-vi-campaign=\"hiking-widget\"><\/div>\n\n<script async=\"\" src=\"https:\/\/www.viator.com\/orion\/partner\/widget.js\"><\/script>\n\n\n\n<div style=\"height:20px\" aria-hidden=\"true\" class=\"wp-block-spacer\"><\/div>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"puerto-vallarta-hiking-trails\">Best Puerto Vallarta Hiking Trails<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>In recent years, hiking in <a href=\"https:\/\/beachpleasemexico.com\/best-things-to-do-in-puerto-vallarta\/\">Puerto Vallarta<\/a> has become more and more popular since it offers excellent health benefits and presents an opportunity to explore the city and its surrounding areas (such as the Riviera Nayarit). Below are the best hikes in Puerto Vallarta that you shouldn&#8217;t miss!<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"urban-hike-mirador-la-cruz-del-cerro\">URBAN HIKE &amp; LOOKOUT: Mirador La Cruz<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li>Hiking Route: Malecon to Mirador La Cruz del Cerro<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Difficulty: Easy\/Intermediate [2\/5]<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Duration: 40 minutes<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\t\t\t<div \n\t\t\tclass=\"wp-block-uagb-google-map uagb-google-map__wrap uagb-block-5e0d36fe     \"\n\t\t\tstyle=\"\" >\n\t\t\t\t<embed\n\t\t\t\t\tclass=\"uagb-google-map__iframe\"\n\t\t\t\t\ttitle=\"Google Map for \"\n\t\t\t\t\tsrc=\"https:\/\/maps.google.com\/maps?q=Mirador%20La%20Cruz%2C%20Puerto%20Vallarta&#038;z=14&#038;hl=en&#038;t=m&#038;output=embed&#038;iwloc=near\"\n\t\t\t\t\twidth=\"640\"\n\t\t\t\t\theight=\"300\"\n\t\t\t\t\tloading=\"lazy\"\n\t\t\t\t><\/embed>\n\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\n\n\n<div style=\"height:50px\" aria-hidden=\"true\" class=\"wp-block-spacer\"><\/div>\n\n\n\n<p>Since it starts right on the Malecon, it makes it one of the easiest and best hikes in Puerto Vallarta to get to. Begin at the intersection of the Malecon and Abasolo Street, and head up that street. As the road gets steeper, turn left on Calle Emilio Carranza, and then take the first right onto Josefa Ortiz de Dominguez. It is very easy to find, so don&#8217;t worry about getting lost.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Follow the signs and you\u2019ll eventually reach the white stairs to the best view in Puerto Vallarta. As you start hiking up, you will get amazing views of Banderas Bay, the majestic Sierra Madre Mountains, and the rustic rooftops of downtown. The 360-degree panoramic view makes this Puerto Vallarta hiking trail one of our favorites.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<div style=\"height:50px\" aria-hidden=\"true\" class=\"wp-block-spacer\"><\/div>\n\n\n\n<figure

the visit. It was the winner of the <a href=\"https:\/\/banderasnews.com\/vallarta-botanical-garden-wins-2022-garden-excellence-award\/\">American Public Garden Association excellence award in 2022<\/a>. Tucked into the Sierra Madre hills, this stunning ecological park has multiple trails and winding mountain walkways that showcase orchids, butterflies, and hummingbirds across its 79 acres. All visitors are provided a hiking trail map upon purchasing the entrance fee (see map below). We walked all the trails in one afternoon, and they are all great, but if you only have time for one, our favorite was the Jaguar Trail which leads to a small beach and river swimming spot.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li>Closed on Mondays (April &#8211; November) and Open Daily (December &#8211; March)<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>9am &#8211; 6pm<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Wheelchair accessible &amp; pet-friendly<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<p>Bring mosquito repellent and water.

href=\"#tours\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\"><strong>Puerto Vallarta hiking tours<\/strong><\/a>&nbsp;here, you can easily hop on a bus from downtown and head south to the fishing village of Boca de Tomatlan where the hiking adventure begins.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>This trail is my personal favorite of all of the best hikes in Puerto Vallarta. It is a half-day-long hiking adventure that takes you along the coast with various stops at stunning beaches of the south shore of Bahia de Banderas. You\u2019ll wind your way south along the coast, at times through lush jungles and secluded beaches. Stop at these enchanting spots for a quick dip to cool off before continuing to hike. When you reach Las Animas, stop at any of the local beachfront restaurants for a cold beer and fresh seafood before taking a water taxi back.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>If you go through the entire hike without stopping, it will take you about 2 hours, but I can assure you that you will want to stop along the way.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-buttons is-layout-flex

It is also a great beach to hang out at for a day trip from Puerto Vallarta. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>This secluded beach town has two waterfalls to hike to: one in town and one further out in the jungle. Both of these options for&nbsp;hiking near Puerto Vallarta&nbsp;are easily accessible for everyone in the family. The one in town can be reached by most hikers in under twenty minutes, but for the larger waterfall, you\u2019ll hike inland along the Tuito river for about 40 minutes.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The Quimixto hike is also a great option. The hike is slightly more difficult and the beach less busy. The hike to the Quimixto waterfall takes about 30 minutes on a well-maintained trail through the jungle. At the end, reward yourself with a cold beer and a snack at the waterfall&#8217;s restaurant, and you can jump into the water to cool off!<\/p>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-buttons is-layout-flex wp-block-buttons-is-layout-flex\">\n<div class=\"wp-block-button\"><a class=\"wp-block-button__link wp-element-button\" href=\"https:\/\/www.viator.com\/tours\/Puerto-Vallarta\/Private-Boat-Tour-to-Yelapa-with-Snorkeling-and-Waterfall-Hike\/d630-22116P14?pid=P00065730&amp;mcid=42383&amp;medium=link&amp;campaign=hiking\">See Guided Tour Prices<\/a><\/div>\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n<div style=\"height:50px\" aria-hidden=\"true\" class=\"wp-block-spacer\"><\/div>\n\n\n\n<p>Other local hiking trails include:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li>PALO MARIA: This hiking trail takes around 4 hours, it\u2019s in the middle of the tropical jungle, following the River.
