Los Veranos Canopy Tour ( Spanish for "the summers") is an adventure park nearby Boca de Tomatlán, Jalisco, near the resort city of Puerto Vallarta. It is known for its 16 zip lines spanning over 2 miles (3.2 km), claiming to be the largest canopy system in the world. The system is located in a forest across the Bahía de Banderas near Vallarta, attracting tourists who visit the city. [1]
The tour was created by an American family in 2002. Later, an animal sanctuary, restaurant, and massage were also added.
As of 2023, no incidents have occurred during its entire span of operation. [1]
The park contains the following zip lines: [2] [3]
To ride a zip line, one must be under the weight of 285 pounds (129 kg). Children must also be over the age of 5 at least 40 inches (100 cm) tall. [4] [5]
To reach the facility, one must ride on a motorboat across the Bahía de Banderas and then use a bus.
The canopy boasts an animal sanctuary authorized by the Federal Government of Mexico containing species of monkeys, turtles, iguanas, coatis, macaws, toucans, and snakes.
A hiking trail along the Horcones to the Vallarta Botanical Garden is also given. Kayaking and swimming are allowed, and water slides can be found.
In addition, the park offers a restaurant, which sits next to the river and serves traditional Mexican food, pizzas, and hamburgers. Tequila tasting is also provided. [1] [6]
