If you are looking to explore the breathtaking locales of Puerto Vallarta, which showcases nature at its most pristine, then a visit to the Cuale Waterfalls is undoubtedly going to be well worth your while.
These waterfalls which are created by the Cuale River as it tumbles down the rocky façade into beautiful pools do require some amount of arduous trekking. But as past visitors will vouch, the visual treat you are privy to once you do make it to the waterfalls makes the physical exertion a measly price to pay. The trek guides you through miles of lush forestland and even a few secluded beaches along the way. As not many people make it up these craggy routes, the landscape is virtually untouched, which is bound to delight the ardent nature enthusiast. At the summit, you can plunge into the crystal clear waters of the pool, and refresh and rejuvenate yourself to the accompaniment of the twittering of all the exotic species of birds that are known to inhabit these serene locals.
And if you aren't game for four hours of laborious trekking but do want to view the Cuale waterfalls, you can even have a local guide arrange for a horseback tour for you. Most local tour companies also offer a bilingual guide, while many also offer complete lunch-inclusive deals, which let you fuel-up with some delicious traditional Mexican fare. Do remember to carry an insect repellent with you, as also a change of clothes for the journey back.
All in all, if you are looking to savor the complete Puerto Vallarta experience, then a visit to the Cuale Waterfalls is a definite must-do on your itinerary.
