A Crocodile Tour at La Tovara

There is more to a holiday in Puerto Vallarta than splashing around in the glittering water of Banderas Bay and stretching out in the sun along the miles of beach that skirt the water. In case you didn't notice, a whole lot of cool, green jungle borders the inland side of the city. In fact, some of the nicest villa rentals Mexico take full advantage of the jungle's attributes to create a lush, quiet living environment.

Rumble in the jungle

The jungle is more than a pretty green face, though it's a wonderful place to organize an outdoor adventure. You can pack a lunch and take a hike, join a group on a jungle trail ride, or hire a guide and a jeep and bounce through the hills behind the villa rentals Mexico. If you really want to get your blood pressure up, you can drive to San Blas, a small village about 60 miles north of Puerto Vallarta on Banderas Bay, and take up with a boat tour to explore la Tovara, a river that winds through the jungle near town.

It's not at all hard to locate a guide with a boat they wait along the road for customers who want to take a slow trip. You can negotiate with one of them to show you up the river, or you can join a more organized expedition with a tour company. Either way, your trip along the river may be unlike anything you've done in the past. The jungle here is protected by the federal government, and it is an ecological delight.

What big teeth you have

You'll drift peacefully on the slow river past large mangroves. You'll see birds and waterfowl that you may not have seen before, and listen to them squawk and honk. And you're likely to encounter some big teeth along the way.This is a natural habitat for crocodiles and turtles, and they hang out in the sun on the river on a regular basis, slipping in and out of the water in a way that makes some visitors a bit nervous.

If your guide takes you far enough upstream, you'll come to the fresh water spring that serves the town of San Blas. Here, someone has fenced off a small pool for daring swimmers who don't mind looking like crocodile bait. Many people choose to admire it from a distance. Whether you swim or not, you'll want to take sun block and insect repellent along on the ride, and carry bottled water. The experience will give you an entirely new appreciation for the jungle behind those villa rentals Mexico.
