Experience the Adventure of a Lifetime at Canopy Los Veranos Zipline
If you’re looking for a high-energy day in Puerto Vallarta that combines adrenaline, stunning scenery, and authentic local flavor, the Canopy Los Veranos Zipline tour might just be your perfect match. For $119 per person, you’ll spend roughly five hours exploring 19 exhilarating zip lines, flying above the lush jungle and Los Horcones River, with options for transportation by Apex boats or jungle trucks. The tour starts at convenient spots like Marina La Cruz or Nuevo Vallarta, making it easy to include in your vacation plans.
Two things stand out immediately: First, the adrenaline rush of tall, fast zip lines, starting slow enough to get comfortable but quickly ramping up for the thrill-seekers.

The Heart of the Tour: The Zipline Experience
The core of this adventure is the Los Veranos Canopy, famous for being the original and largest zipline system in Puerto Vallarta. With 19 zip lines, you’ll experience a mix of heights, speeds, and lengths, all guided by highly trained professionals whose main priority is your safety.
The longest zip line, stretching 1,800 feet, gives you a real sense of flying over the canopy and river below. Several reviews mention how safe they felt, even when going on the tall, fast zip lines. For example, Jen_F appreciated that the guides made her feel secure throughout, especially as she was easing into the activity.
The zip lines are arranged to gradually increase in adrenaline, starting with milder runs that allow beginners to get comfortable. This thoughtful pacing is appreciated, especially by families or first-timers.
Other Scenic and Adventure Elements
Beyond ziplining, the tour offers plenty of ways to connect with nature. After the adrenaline rush, you’ll cool off in natural river pools, which are perfect for relaxing or playing. You might also slide down water features or swim in the clear pools, making this a well-rounded outdoor experience.
The riverfront Los Veranos Café provides a great spot for a well-deserved meal or snack, with many guests noting the friendly service and relaxing atmosphere. Plus, the option to visit the exotic animal sanctuary adds an educational touch to the day.
Authentic Mexican Flavors and Tasting Experiences
A highlight for many is the Tequila tasting, available for those over 21, which adds a cultural and flavorful dimension to the trip. It’s a chance to sample some local spirits in a relaxed setting, with guides often sharing tips on how to appreciate the nuances of tequila, adding to the tour’s authentic feel.
Practical Details and Considerations
The duration of about five hours strikes a good balance—long enough to enjoy all the activities without feeling rushed. Transportation is included from meeting points, and group sizes are capped at 100, ensuring a more intimate experience.
The tour’s cost of $119 is a fair value considering the 19 zip lines, guided safety, river activities, and tasting, especially since reviews consistently praise the professional guides and well-maintained equipment. Remember, lunch and drinks are not included, so you might want to bring snacks or plan to eat afterward.
A key practical tip from reviews is to bring bug spray, as the jungle environment can attract insects. Also, wear longer clothing if you want more protection while navigating the outdoor areas.

Families with kids over 10 will enjoy the mix of excitement and scenic beauty, especially with the slow-start zip lines designed for beginners.
