beaches, sea, hike, waterfall pool in glorious weather: what more could you wish for? - Best excursion that we did during our trip. Curiel is both an excellent guide but an entertaining raconteur..made for a great day. Curiel is also extremely well organized from organizing the water taxis to the refreshments at the waterfall near Quimixto to the lunch at the end of the trip in Boca and all the pictures he took. HIke was about the right length though I was hampered by an injured ankle. If Id been at normal level of fitness Id have liked it a little longer but really have no complaints or criticisms.
Would happily do it again next time we are in PV and enthusiastically recommend to others wanting an active day in gorgeous surroundings.

A must do for those who love nature with the friendliest guide! - On our recent trip to PV my friends and I were looking for something different and adventurous. We found CurielXperience through an extensive search for LGBTQ+ friendly activities.
This is a 100% must book adventure. Not only did Curiel take us to places we hadn’t seen before, be he was so friendly and knowledgeable. You can tell he loves what he does. Jen builds relationships with everyone we met along the way.
The quiet beach was an awesome stop where we enjoyed the sun and ocean on a break for the informative and gorgeous hike.
The hike was easy to tackle and the waterfall was breathtaking both in beauty and the chilly water.
Ending the adventure with an amazing lunch on the water was a perfect way to wrap up the day.
We already can’t wait to book another one of his hikes on our next visit.

Wonderful hike with an amazing guide - My husband and I spent a truly wonderful day with our guide Curiel, who was extremely knowledgeable about the plants and animals on the trail from Las Animas to Quimixto. More than that however, he’s one of the friendliest tour guides you could meet. If you are on the fence about whether you should book with CurielXperiences, don’t hesitate to do so!

Amazing hiking, beauty, swimming, food and fun! - The CurielXperience is one you do not want to miss when you are in Puerto Vallarta. As a local, his knowledge of the history and environment opened our eyes to the beauty that surrounded us - Curiel spotted whales, birds, butterflies, fruit and many other flora and fauna. His tour is unique, he is adaptive to your needs and his guiding is lively and fun. Plus it ended with the most delicious meal in a very beautiful spot. We are so glad we found this trip and loved every moment of it - it will be a highlight of our visit to this area for sure. Thanks for the adventure Curiel!

Fantastic Excursion with Curiel - Curiel is an amazing guide. We've done multiple hikes with him. All are fun, different, and educational. It's not just a hike from point A to point B, but a nature hike where he provides in-depth knowledge about the indigenous plants, trees, birds, and land animals. Recently, we just did the Las Animas-Quimixto nature hike. The hike from Las Animas to Quimixto is a scenic coastal hike. Hiking through the jungle then traversing on some boulders along the coast. Taking a break on Quimixto's beautiful pristine beach and a quick dip to refresh. Then you start the 30+ minutes uphill trek towards Quimixto Waterfall. Jumping into the invigorating yet refreshing natural pool of Quimixto Waterfall. Grab a beer or Raicilla margarita and take in the rushing sound of the waterfall before heading back down to the beach. At the end of the excursion, a lunch feast is waiting for you at Boca de Tomatlan. The whole experience was amazing!

Awsome Hike - What a great experience, Curiel was so knowledgeable about everything to do with the hike. I was even impressed that he brings extra trash bags with him to pick up trash left by other hiking groups.

I super loved it, I would definitely repeat it again. - It was a great experience, I had time eager to do this tour.
In addition to excellent attention from Curiel, I always felt safe and very cared for.
I did this tour myself and I was a little afraid but as soon as Curiel showed up he gave me a lot of confidence, always attentive.
I recommend it to 1000
Thank you so much!
