COOL OFF AT LOS VERANOS Just a few minutes south of Puerto Vallarta, along Highway 200 towards Barra de Navidad, you will find one of our favorite spots to escape the summer heat. It’s called Las Juntas and Los Veranos, and if you’ve never heard of it, we will tell you more.
What makes this place special is that it is bisected by the Horcones River, one of the main tributaries that flow into Banderas Bay, specifically the beautiful Boca de Tomatlán beach. This makes it a great place for recreational activities.
Among its main attractions are several parks with the famous zip lines, where you can add an adrenaline rush to your trip by gliding through the jungle before taking a refreshing dip in the river.
You can also go hiking or see some of the region’s endemic animal species, such as armadillos, raccoons, or the colorful macaws, so we recommend wearing comfortable, cool clothing.
If you get hungry, Las Juntas and Los Veranos have great riverside restaurants, some even with water slides to make your experience more fun. Interestingly, there were once two communities in this area claiming the same land: Las Juntas and Los Veranos. They eventually decided to merge into one community to achieve greater progress for themselves.
Need more reasons to visit? You will also find waterfalls and campsites where countless stars will be your companions all night long. Check out other ecotourism destinations here. Come and explore, and share your photos on our social media!

Throughout the tour, you can observe a wide variety of wildlife and lush vegetation typical of the tropical rainforest, as well as a large number of birds, including parakeets, orioles, and woodpeckers, among others.
