Amazing waterfall rappelling

I had an amazing time rappelling down several waterfalls. Esteban and his team were professional, safety focused and made the whole day unforgettable. Highly recommended for anyone looking for a real adventure in Puerto Vallarta.

First time rappelling and I loved it

Basálticos was my first time rappelling and the guides made me feel completely safe from start to finish. Beautiful canyon, great explanations and a lot of fun.
