Mismaloya

Trail Data
  Length = 2.4 km. Exertion index = 55 going 2 returning. Maximum elevation = 133 m.

You can take a bus from PV to the town of Mismaloya. Starting with the trailhead in the middle of the village follow the cobbled street which turns to dirt at the end of town. Then you keep following the dirt road. The end point is a restaurant called El Edén which features water cascading over a large rock into a natural pool. You can swim, you can swing out on a rope and splash into the pool, you even can slide down the rock into it. Admission is free.

If you're up to it you can take the jungle canopy ride which consists of attaching yourself to a pulley and zipping down cables strung out high above the canyon. In November 2005 it cost US$66. They run visitors through in packs so most of the time is spent waiting in line.

There is a fair amount of traffic on the road so the dust can be annoying. Tying a bandana over your mouth and nose ought to help. Aside from tourist attractions the scenery is mostly natural jungle.
