About This Tour

A fully customizable private ATV tour through downtown, along a highway, and into the woods of El Edén, including a stop at the real filming location for the 1987 film 'Predator.' This fully customizable private half-day ATV tour takes you through Puerto Vallarta to El Edén for a jungle adventure, riding through downtown, along a highway, and into the woods. Stops include swimming in rivers, a charming fishing village, and the real jungle location used in filming the 1987 movie 'Predator.' It's best suited to riders with previous ATV experience.

El Edén's film connection is genuine, not local lore dressed up for tourists. Principal photography on the 1987 action film Predator, starring Arnold Schwarzenegger, began in Puerto Vallarta in April 1986, and the production's own end credits include a specific thank-you to "Restaurant El Edén de Mismaloya de Puerto Vallarta." The jungle camp scenes — the guerrilla outpost the film's special-forces team raids early on — were shot at this inland riverside site, a short distance from the coast. Decades later, a crashed-helicopter prop and a sculpture referencing the film's alien hunter still sit on the grounds, which the restaurant and resort area have leaned into as part of its identity.

Beyond the movie history, El Edén's real draw for most visitors is the river itself: a jungle waterway running over large, smoothed boulders that have created natural pools and short slides where the ride stops for swimming. It's the kind of cooling-off point that makes sense of a half-day ride through tropical terrain, with the jungle canopy shading the river's edge even as the surrounding Sierra Madre foothills stay hot and dry at lower elevation.

The route also threads through a small, genuinely local fishing village along the way — a working community rather than a built-for-tourists stop — before continuing into the woods proper. Because the terrain mixes downtown streets, highway stretches, and rougher jungle track, this tour leans toward riders who've driven an ATV before; Voyzo can still tailor the pace, but the ground itself is less forgiving than a beginner-oriented loop.
