I'm just now looking at excursions for our August cruise and I think this one is a must. Kim - are you sure you don't want to join us on this cruise?
Huana Coa Canopy Adventure
Experience the adventure of a lifetime during a high-flying zip-line ride amidst the Sierra Madre mountains before exploring the Los Osuna tequila distillery.
Surrender to a striking landscape of gentle sloping hills and a lush forest landscape as you journey into the Sierra Madre mountains during an hour-long, air-conditioned motor coach ride to La Vinata Los Osuna plantation. Upon your arrival, board a classic, 6x6 Swiss Army Pinzgauer vehicle and take off on a thrilling, 15-minute drive across bumpy backwoods terrain to the verdant foothills of the Sierra Madre mountain range, marveling at the unspoiled natural splendor that surrounds you everywhere you look. Following your rugged ride, make your way across a towering flex-walk bridge and embark on a picturesque nature stroll where a myriad of fantastic flora and fauna is yours to behold at seemingly every turn. Meet and greet an experienced zip-line guide and take part in an informative safety demonstration before setting out on your unforgettable high-flying adventure. Then, hold tight as you are whisked away from canyon side to canyon side via a network of pulleys mounted at a height of up to 100 feet above the ground. Zip along nine horizontal lines and 12 platforms, and marvel at the spectacular sights from your amazing bird's eye perch. Feel the rush of wind in your face and experience the excitement of this one-of-a-kind adventure. Then, rappel from the final platform located in an ancient Huanacaxtle tree and glide down to the ground amongst the vast rows of blue agave plants.
Afterward, visit the famous Los Osuna tequila distillery and uncover the history of Mexico's national and most beloved drink. Originally produced in t he 16th century, Tequila is created using blue agave plants which are native to the Tequila region of Mexico. Learn about the fermentation process from an expert, and delight in a delightful treat: a savory tasting. Following your tour, sit back, relax and begin your hour-long return trip back to the pier along Mazatlan's magnificent oceanfront boulevard, the Avenida del Mar, and revel as the distant turquoise blue of the shimmering ocean mingles with the endless baby blue of the sky. Pass through the city's bustling Golden Zone where you can opt to disembark the motor coach and indulge in some sightseeing and shopping on your own before finally arriving back at the ship.
